I have used pickling salt and had them become nice an hard, but still popped when hook goes in it. But this time I couldn't get them to turn out the same. I blame it on the salt. I could not find actual pickling salt. Sooooooio my question is, does anyone know where I can find it?

Hi despotiko, is the bead set up the one where a plastic bead is tied about 2" above the bare hook?

What if you tie your hook onto the leader and then put a single rubber egg on and thread it through past the eye of the hook and knot? wouldn't that work?

Don't the regs say you can't have a bare hook? You could get charged with snagging.

With this set up, if you get approached by a CO, you could always say the bait moved up by itself

Trout Beads and Their Effectiveness
Posted On April 07, 2011

Fishing beads are becoming a staple in every Steelheaders arsenal of tricks to fool trout into taking the bait. Some anglers take it one step further and use the bead on every set up to act as an attractor to whatever is tied on at the end of the hook; be it a fly, spawn sac or jig.

As Blair says put something on the hook. Anyone got a bead size in mm/color that works best?

[piju]

I can't find anything in the regs about bare hooks but I can't wrap my head around how beads work, don't the fish go for the egg? so why have the egg 2" away from the hook and not right on the hook?

Last fall I really put them to the test and when an egg bite would be on, they held up just as well to real trout and salmon eggs. Beads can be used in most any type of condition but they tend to shine in faster to moderate flows. I find that using beads in slow water gives the fish too much of a chance to inspect the bait. In slow moving pools or frog water (estuary water), I tend to sway towards using the real stuff. You can use them fly fishing or float fishing; doesn’t matter, they work both ways.

There are 2 main ways to rig a bead. 1) pegged with a rounded toothpick and trim the tag ends or 2) Tie it on with a bead knot (see http://www.fish307.c...tbeadsknot.aspx). The trout beads that I particularly fish with the most are in fact Trout Beads (www.troutbeads.com). They have so many colours and sizes. You can also make them yourself; just find some jewelry beads, dye the beads the way you want. It’s actually quite simple to do if you have the time.

Next time you’re out, give them a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results.

I don't understand fishing with beads. Why have the bead 2" above the hook? Wouldn't you foul hook the fish like that? Why not put the bead at the hook?

Oh, I just noticed that another member asked similar questions above.

Re using single eggs; I saw a packet for sale at C. Tire(Berkely, I think) that had orange synthetic eggs with some scent added? Anyone recommend these? Heck, if bows bite on rubber and plastic egg why not use berries from a mountain ash tree and add some scent? (Just a thought)

[staffman]

More impressive responses Blair,you really try to help out your fellow anglers.

[anoobiss]

These beads, they go by "trout beads" at the tackle shop? Also you put em 2inches above hook? Just use a single salmon egg hook?

[staffman]

I know fishermen that have caught trout on the berries you mentioned. The Berkley eggs will definitely work. Normally these eggs are fished right on the hook. If you wanted to fish these like the trout beads you would have to run your hook through the egg and pull about 2 inches of line so the egg would be 2 inches above the hook, then you would have to run the hook again through the egg so it would stay in place and not slide down your line.

[Fishheads]

I have use all kinds of imitation single eggs, but I find the trout beads #1 and the Atlas Mike's Single eggs to work the best. Just my opinion though. But I strongly suggest trying them out. When the waters low and clear they can do the trick.

try boiling single loose eggs till they get firm and let it sit out for a bit, u can hook em for single presentations
