<p>guys-- I found a couple of magnetic bowls for nuts and bolts at a retail store some time ago. works fantastic for hooks!! I usually add the bead heads to the hooks; drop them in the bowl;; they stay put till I need them!! and I also have a extendable magnetic;; for the occasion when I drop one to!!</p>

<p>Donald, I completely agree with you! My Wooly Buggers are size 8, and most other flies are 10's or 12's. I'm only doing the 20's for a "Beginners Swap" on another board. I may not even need to do any that small; most beginners won't touch a size 20.....I'm waiting on word from the Swapmeister.</p>

<p>My tying bench is a mess so when I drop a fly it's just as good as gone but I have a pair of rattle snake eggs which are pretty much really powerful magnets that I sweep the floor with, normally find a few hooks that I didn't know were missing. :)</p>

<p> Wow, those look great. I don't know how you do it, the smallest I tie now is a 16. I don't tie that small but a few times a year.........favorites are 10's and 12's. For me, it's not just hard to see a size 20..........even harder to tie a fly on that size and have it come out looking like it is supposed to........(my hat's off to ya)...........Don in SC</p>

<p>I keep a rectangular magnet on my steel tying cart, Allen. It is 3.5"x1.5" and quite powerful. When I lose a hook over the side, I sweep the magnet around and, "DINK!" - the rogue is found.</p>

<p>I've dropped two of the finished flies, and one bare hook. Luckily, I recovered both of the flies. Haven't found the bare hook yet. Knowing my luck, I would drop the bug before I could get it tied on.</p>

<p>wow size 20! and it actually looks like something! I'd probably drop it trying to tie it on then never be able to find again! </p>

<p>Thanks guys. I like to keep my flies for bluegill simple as can be since during the summer the bluegill are not very picky. These are just some antron yarn and some home made dubbing. Simple, easy, fast are the three things I look for since bluegill tear my flies apart normally.</p>
