Yep, bead, wire, thread here too most of the time. Every now and then I use a single strand of floss. I make mine most of the time in black thread, gold wire, gold bead, red thread gold wire gold bead, or black, silver, silver. I use x-small wire and tie on 16,18,20. I've had the best luck lately with the red ones. I use tungsten beads to get em down faster too. When I tie white, I use the single floss and silver bead and wire. The white ones are a little thicker, kinda like a little grub. Once in a while I'll use a pearlescent tinsel for the body and a black bead head.
