Ronanmd1 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Hey guys - First off, Happy Holidays! I have recently been tying a variety of bead head small nymph patterns (Tung Stud, Zebra Midge, Flashback Pheasant Tails etc) on scud style hooks. I am wondering whether you guys use specific 'bead head' scud hooks for these or just standard scud hooks? I have been tying these on Daiichi 1120 and 1130 (size 16-20). These hooks are both 1x short length. I just noticed that Daiichi also sells a bead head hook #1260 which looks to be a bit longer. I imagine it would be easier to keep proportions correct on this style hook? Am I overthinking this? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I use the 1120 for almost all my nymphs. Some micro leaches as well. I find the beads fit well. Great quality hooks I did go to the 1270 for Chrinomids as longer profile which I like better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
