bead help

[dsukh]

1-3 inches above the hook should be good. If you're having trouble setting the hook it may be because of a small fish nibbling on it.




bobberstop -->beed -->bobberstop -->1.5inches-->hook

Worked well for me. I use bobberstop because I find that pegging sometimes damages your leader.

try the peg-its or troutbeads pegs. usually right beside the beads.
ive been on the hunt for the best silicone basting(pastry) brush pegs. after 4 or 5 different kinds i found awesome ones at the new dollar type store in my town. i cant remember the brand or whatever but they are red or yellow, have clear handles and are labelled a "pastry" brush. get about 70 pegs for $1.25. some are hard to get thru, but if you moisten the hole in the bead and the peg it helps, and pull your lead thru in the same direction can be the kicker( this is with .009" leader) they anchor it tight and can be used twice. they looked at me funny when i asked if they could get 10 or 15 red ones in.......

(also- peg-its work great for pegging worm weights, and pegging corky-style indicators!!!!)

Yup, peg-its won't damage the line. They keep the bead in place pretty well too.

just too expensive if you fish beads a lot

Beads themselves are cheap. Get the peg-its and enjoy

It's 5 bucks for 50/100. If you fish "a lot" it's even more worthwhile, makes setting up beads a breeze.

I have been just simply doing this between the hook and the float that way you can easily adjust the bead if it's not quite right but there are other steps you can do to make it a " trout bead knot"

Complete not here Trout Bead Knot ..... hope this helps.

You don't find that this messes up the line on your leader when the bead moves around?

ive been having trouble fishing beads too but stick with it and youll get it , i got my first fish on a bead the other day using a brush bristle for a peg and my buddy go one using bead knot

It doesn't really move around unless you miss a bite or two but if you are concerned complete the knot using the Bead Knot and that will lock it in.

bring some toothpicks...

Easier to make an adjustment, instead of using a bead knot...

50 for 595 is what ive seen and that makes the peg cost more than an 8mm bead. silicone brush is 1.25 for 70 pegs that can be used twice

Its just 10 cents a peg, ya its a rip but were not going to break the bank here.
