I have been tying very small chironomids in preparation for a lake fishing trip in early May. I am trying to tie much smaller chironomids than I have in the past, but it has been quite a challenge to get a 2 mm tungsten bead onto a size 16 hook. I seem to spend more time searching for dropped beads on the floor than actual tying. I have tried using tweezers to hold the bead while I fumble with the hook to put the point in the correct side of the bead, but all too often, the tweezers slip and the bead goes flying across the room. The eyesight is not as good as it used to be, but the real problem is holding the bead. any suggestions?
