I picked up some inverted beads ( jig bombs) and planned to use them on jig hooks only to find out they are intended for regular nymph hooks. Playing with placement on a jig hook, I think I should put the concave slot towards the eye. Is this correct? Is there any advantage to placing it the other way and tying in the bead at the bend of the eye to get the bead to sit at 90 degrees from the shank? Please educate me on the proper use of inverted beads and if they should be used for any specific patterns. Thanks in advance.
