I had a few brass beads I used to tye some nymphs. Now that they are gone, I am not sure what size i should order. What size would work for #12 to #16 BH nymphs? Thanks again!
Most of the packages recomend a size. Sometimes though it depends on the style of hook and the type of bend it has. Something like a TMC 270R usually needs a larger size to get around the bend.
My bead packs recomend the following:
7/64 for 12,14,16
1/8 for 10,12,14
5/32 for 8,10,12
Hope this helps.
So what pattern and hook are you using?
