Default Klink and Dink

What is the heaviest fly a size 16 klink will hold when fishing New-Zealand style?
Would a size 16 klink hold a size 16 gold-head PTN?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
regards Morgan.

It depends on how the Klink was tied or should I day with what materials especially the post.
I tie my klinks using Aerowing as the post. If I take a single length off the card and double it twice I find it will easily hold up a nymph tied on a sixe 16 hook with a 2 mm or 2.3 mm tungsten bead.
Be sure to use a nice stiff genetic hackle for the best results.
