A lot of the new hooks for flyfishing are micro-barb, so they don't

You can also find pointed type files in the beadworking area of your craft
store, such as JoAnn's or Michaels, or the like. They go inside the hole and
can be used to file it down. They even help on glass
bends are fine.

One of the things that Tony said was what I would say - pinch the barb down.
Next get the right size bead for the hook. Glass is not as flexible but I have
found that they are not consistent with the sizes. You can try several and
some will work and
said, it
works for me. I have not tried it with the real small hooks, sz 14 is the
smallest I have done it with.
Are you going to make the Sowbug this year. Hope so.

build a thread bump that is a snug fit on the bead, a few wrap of thread in the
front as a stop. and then use super glue to affix Try using glass beads
