Thanks fellows. You ae confirming what I expected.

The beads are new and they are double drilled with one side larger than the other. They were bought from a company in Canada that sells beads at a very good price.

As I am in Canada, I generally do not order from US mail order companies because the postage cost tends to be exorbitant, not mentioning the hassle with Customs. This ends up reducing my options somewhat.

I guess I will use those beads up on larger size hooks and get more beads that will fit the #10 hooks properly
