bead head size for hooks

[flyty]

Hi,

Does anyone know the correlation between bead head size and hook size? I guess I could go out and spend $50 on all the different sizes and then I'd be set, but I was hoping to buy only one or two sizes. I'm surprised that's not readily available information.

Thanks

I found this through Google. It at least relates sizes for you.

Thanks for the link.

I also found out some information through trial and error:

3/32 size beads slide off #20 and #22 200R hooks
5/64(2mm) beads fit on both #20 and #22 200R hooks
tungsten beads are expensive!

Back to the flyshop I go for the third time. :)

Here is the bead size/hook size chart so far:

5/64(2mm) down to 20, 22(TMC200R, flyty)
1/8 down to size 16(TMC3761, GregM)

Please post any information you have.
