    Default hooks

    What do you find to be the best hook for beads? Looking for sizes 18 to 12 specifically.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    It all depends on what you want to tie after you put the bead on.

    There is no BEST hook for beads.
    To the simpleton, proof does not matter once emotion takes hold of an issue.

    I agree... however I do use a lot of Tiemco BL (barbless) hooks in those sizes.
