Wow.

How do you know which ones to use?

Murky waters = bigger bead and brighter colour?
Clear waters = more natural colours?

Yup in clear water start with fresh dropped egg color and gradually go to white and in dirty go big and bright

nice bead collections! my personal choice is anything with red dots works for me! but depends on the water color though!

I found this bead out on the river. Sorry for the out-of focus pic. You fix it in place by inserting the peg into the little hole. The bead is soft hollow plastic. Looks like a good design to me. Anybody else see or use these? Brand?

I'm 99.999999% sure that's an indicator

I'd imagine it would take quite a few split shots to get that "bead" down :razz:

Thingamabobber basically a float or indicator when you're on the fly, probably one I lost haha

While we're on the topic of indicators I recommend that nobody buys the sindicators, got a few and the line actually cuts the indicator neck!

 

[Knuguy]

I guess you guys are right. You know a lot more about this than I do. But why not use it as a bead when bottom bouncing----you'd have enough weight to take it down. Strike indicator?----so you are supposed to see that tiny thing way out on the river? Better eyes than mine!!

well when you fly fish your definitely not doing a hero drift so no need to see it half a mile downstream, but thats just my take on it

That's what the big indicators are for I suppose you could try bottom bouncing it but it doesn't look much like an egg lol

 

[mileper]

The best bait for steelhead for sure ,there is nothing to compare ...

 

[Knuguy]

Oh, udunno. Has more or less the same resemblance as a normal bead( although you could argue that the little peg and hole arrangement tips off the fish to the fact that it's not an egg.)
