My earlier reply was done in too much haste. After looking at the bead chart and then checking the Mustad section of the book and the 3906 hooks that I have I would also include the Sproat bend in the NO-NO list. My 3906 hooks look more like a Limerick bend than the Sproat that the book says that have. I did find a hook that took a 3mm bead on a size 14 hook but I cant remember what it was offhand. Will check my beads and hooks and get back.

Gents,
I have had one [EMAIL PROTECTED](*& of a time trying to put the right bead with the right hook. I have tried them all from mustad to tiemco. Looks ot me that the gaps aren't wide enough. What brand of hooks out there that work. Thanks.....
