What really shows me down is the step of getting a slotted bead on a jig hook. For a simple tie like this, it might be half my time is getting the bead on. I wonder if you have a standard procedure. I have a bead nabbers tweezers with a sliding lock from Jade River, and an angled tip tweezers, also tried using the vise to hold the hook, but it is strangely awkward for me.

I use barbless hooks most of the time so they slide on pretty easy. If you have a barbed hook sometimes the barb can get in the way of getting the hook on. You want the smaller opening of the bead going toward the hook eye. A lot of people use slotted beads for jig style hooks. I don't because of the way I slide the lead wraps into the bead.
