Yup as long as you get 6/0 size glass beads

Black and Chartreuse is a killer combo

Right now I’m making for myself . All components sourced multiple fly shops , eBay.

What a great idea with the beads. All the jigs you keep posting makes me want to make some more. I have a bunch of rods to get out first.

Are the glass beads held in place somehow, or do the move slightly? I would thick the slight sound they would make by hitting against each other would be a good thing.

More innovative and beautiful work Don.
And yup chartruese & black or purple, good stuff.
