I gotta restudy up on My metric  I know it takes about 101 or so mm to the inch... The small sized beads I have, when I lay them next to some (known sized) 2mm craft foam, seem to be the same thickness so I guess then, that is what they are, I'm confused, LOL, Chuck   ----- Original Message ----- From: Niclas (Gmail) To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 2:28 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Debarbed Hooks And not to forget the 2mm beads... that also come here.   (Been sitting for a long time now for a chance to correct someone.  ;o))   /Nick   On 4/26/06, Ian Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Chuck,   we wre metricised in '72...   one inch = 25.4 mm approx.   We get imperial and metric stuff here..   Beads come in the following sizes here   2.5mm 3mm 4mm 4.5mm (there are sometimes some in between...s)     3/32 (2.5mm) 1/8 (3mm approx) 5/32 (4mm approx)   generally I use 3 and 4mm beads  (1/8, 5/32s)   Bead head nymphs I tie #14s with 3mm beads, #12s with 3 or 4mm beads #10s with 4mm beads..   Hope this is not too confusing,.
