I tie quite a few flies using glass beads. Glass beads come in various sizes but to keep it simple if you stock sizes 6/0 (largest), 8/0 and 10/0 (the smallest) you can satisfy most of your needs.

if those sizes work for you or anyone else then by all means go for it

different hook styles may require different size beads

most bead charts are merely guides and are flexible

nothing is cast in concrete when it comes to fly tying

sometimes i will put the bigger hole at the hook eye and the beads still work

Where will the world go to if everyone does what he wants, puts the beads he wants on his flies?
Order, we need order and rules!
