marabou minnow eyes

[Dryrod]

[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]I am in the process of tying a marabou minnow which calls for a small bead chain eye. Usually the dumbbell eyes sold at FF stores are rather expensive for what one gets. Having several links of bead chains available in my shop I thought that I would use a pair of these beads. Was wondering if the little holes in the outside of the beads would create a different flow pattern. Has anyone use these beads before, & if so what has been your experience with how the fly performs while being retrieved? By the way they tie on much easier and securely than the dumbbell eyes.[/size][/green][/font]
