Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2019 Those look nice, I tied some up and tried them for ice fishing but I had no luck. I'm not giving up on them though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2019 Couldnt see how small they were from the photos. I have filled orders for Charlies in as small as #8s... but those are tiny. Still good looking bugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MckinneyLonghorn 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks for the heads up. The Hobby Lobby near me had it in 4-5 colors, as well as some slightly larger bead chain (about the size sold as small bead chain in fly tying stores) in metallic red and metallic blue and matte white. All of it not only came home with me, but it was all on sale 50% off. Can't beat that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2019 Some years ago I got hold of some gold plated 1mm 1/25th inch bead chain. Though that is far from the smallest. If you want dumbell eyes down to #24 then use the connector between the beads in bead chain. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
