Bead Mats?

[flyfishermanj]

Guys And Gals,

Does anyone use on of these? Just wondering if they help or mostly just get in the way? I see that Hareline has one and that you can also pick them up at the local craft stores. Just wondering if anyone has used one before?

I have one I bought at a craft store. It works fine. If you drop a bead it stays on the mat. I got tired of trying to find a small bead after it rolled off the table and onto the floor.
