I love to tie size 18-22 flies. I tie tons of small Sexy Walt's worm where a midge bead is used for the head. I dredge the hook through the bead container and eventually I snag a bead of the hook. I have been using tweezers to hold the hook as I "fish" for the bead but I lose the grip too easily using tweezers and the hook goes flying.
What tool do you use to hold small hooks for getting a midge bead on the hook using a dredging technique? I have seen YouTube videos that use Plunger Style hackle pliers but I can't locate them. Thanks.
