    Terry B: I remember a the topic of the different specific gravity (weight) of different materials, in relation to each other, for comparison on use on flies. I will search for the topic in the "Archives"

    8T, I'm with you. Just a bead drops the fly fairly slowly in most current situations where I fish. Wrapping 4-5 turns of small lead wire that will fit inside the back of the bead gets it in fishing position more quickly as well as centering the bead on the hook.
