3 Ways To Setup Soft Beads For Winter Steelhead Fishing | Float Fishing Or Drift Fishing

[@MichealBacon]

The Ethan Hawke of steelhead fishing. Really enjoying your tutorials, keep it up!

[@tombaker2778]

So funny I said about the same thing on another video of his! Just hope he doesn't do a video called 'Training Day' on his fishing lol!

[@marknunez2351]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@erikhancock98569]

👍

[@jimmeyers6070]

Glad to see you're back Nick

[@boricuasoldier9]

My buddy sent me a link to your videos and Using your rigging techniques I landed my first steelhead 🐟thank you and I will be watching all your Videos 🙌

[@josiahbenitez9739]

Congrats ive never caught steel on beads also never tried all the ones i e caught was nightmare jig and pink worm

[@tomt5176]

Picked up a bunch of soft plastic beads for my first steelhead trip. At least now I know how to rig them. Thanks man!

[@dukeumnukem9747]

So many bead companies out there with different variations, colors and such. The sewing needle kabob of beads is a great idea! I purchased a worm blower to inject beads with scent. Cost is about 2.00ish for the blower. Thanks for sharing!🎣🎣🎣

[@gilbertnunez246]

I usually just use tooth picks lol 😅 works great and very cost efficient

[@fishingwithjamespro2460]

For softbeads I have done that with hard beads does it work the same

[@fr.billbaker6319]

SWEET INFO!!!! Love your channel!

[@jordangillespie7641]

That third one is invaluable to me thank you, I can't believe I didn't figure that out, I actually did exactly that to a plastic bead to actually use as a bead stop. But no I would have never put two in one together, thank you for this tutorial

[@rodmucio255]

Nice and simple setup and well laid out video instructions with good close up lol. Thanks for helping out a rookie like me! Subscribed!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

[@michaelhennegan9637]

It’s great to be the first to give you a thumbs up!

[@troutbum476]

Great idea using sewing needle. Very helpful video, thank you !

[@luciano3118]

Thank you for this video it has helped immensely!

[@czarinastrough5768]

Thanks for this! I learned alot. You should do more simple tutorials in the future.

[@waymirepa245]

Back at it again. Love it brotha. Any good all around bead colors you prefer to get my bead box started?

[@davidmays3333]

Great info.

[@nickattardi4340]

Perfect Video

[@asully70]

I love the acrylic 3-4mm bead tied in. Never have to worry about a bead or stopper slipping again. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reeled in my line and the stopper and bead is resting on the eye of the hook as you mentioned. Never used the T Stops for soft beads as I mainly fish hard/incognito beads but it looked like that holds pretty well against the line. Good stuff 👍🏻

[@SometimesTurtle]

Hahahaha, dude, this annoyed me so much when I tried out the usual rubber bobber stops, had to mark in my head about how long the setup was so that it wouldn't constantly make me have to pull it out of the eye, but I found a nice trick btw, if you bring the stopper right to the eye, where it's stuck, you can lower your setup into the water from that and dip it in, and it will pull the stopper out and you won't have to backup and physically reach up to the eye (especially if you are running what you should have have a 9' plus rod). This saved my mental stability while trying out some floating haha.

[@mickeyvance5974]

I see zero advantage over plastic beads to much head ache and.takes more time than banding or pegging a hard bead

[@chris-heikesigurdson2449]

Thanks ! your make it easy to understand

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

awesome! easy to understand is what I'm going for.. sometimes there's just too much or someones going too fast or doesn't explain why something is done that way. I'm glad the video helps! Good luck out there

[@jkline999]

I catch fish with the bead on top of the hook. If fish will hit a yarnie or a corkie on top of the hook, where did this idea come from that a bead has to be inches above it? Great vids, thanks for taking the time to post them.

[@ChrisG9978]

Having the bead a couple inches above the hook helps prevent fatally hooking the fish when setting the hook. The fish goes for the bead...when the hook is set the bead gets pulled out of the fish's mouth and the hook typically ends up embedded the corner of the mouth or somewhere outside the mouth rather than deep into the fish's throat. Additionally, the hook gap remains exposed rather than partially blocked by the bead, so the overall hook-up ratio is higher.

[@greggorywilkinson9758]

For your first example, I recommend using a sequin between the bead and the bobber stop. The sequin, for the most part, will prevent the soft bead from pulling over the bobber stop.

[@felipeduenas2968]

thanks the tip ill try it next time i go fishing and a quick question does bead have a big or a small bead

[@stevedodge1195]

Thank you!

[@Podcofishing]

Great video, what was the name of that knot?

[@ellerysmith3144]

What lb test do you use

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

It really kinda depends on the conditions and where I’m fishing since I know some rivers will potentially have bigger fish, but 12-20lb is my range. I usually stick on the higher side unless the water is low and/or clear though.

[@tombaker2778]

Nick I thought I was watching Ethan Hawke! You could be his double for Hollywood! Great videos! Thanks

[@jasongreen9553]

How do you change colors in the stream? Seems like a pain to do line to line all the time. Would rather add them and tie hook after the bead is on. B&R this seems to be not possible.

[@allenquiambao7521]

What kind of accessory u use on the 2nd set up on the bead

[@Justin-zs1ql]

I like the no stop trick. Have you been out much yet this WS season?

[@lyndafinch1728]

What beads and color do you recommend? Manufacturer?

[@nicolelewis9812]

Which sizes of hook do you typically use? Do you pre-rig?

[@patknight-zb4nt]

Big question, do those beats Is float Or go right to the bottom.

[@brianjohnston4207]

The video on the bnr site says tie a rapala knot to attach your hook to your leader and rest the tstop against the knot. This is for under a float. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it reinforces the tstop.

[@geostrong3606]

What kind of line u prefer for this setups

[@Ricksboxoftricks]

Did you just color your Braided line?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

The high vis yellow braid? They sell it like that. There are actually a bunch of different colors available but the Moss Green and High-vis Yellow are most common

[@imaxfli]

Sooooo,,,the fish comes to look at the egg and the hook snags it?

[@chrismhoyt]

What are you running for leader length? I typically run around 2ft but sometimes wonder if I should go longer.

[@brettsuydam7457]

I run longer for smaller beads I run when clear water. Dirtier water I run closer and a bigger bead. Also I put a Split Shot about a foot from the bead if on a longer leader. Helps keep it down in the strike zone.

[@victoryang2094]

where can we order the beads?

[@jamesrey4275]

Hot Chow !

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

What’s the advantage to having the bead two fingers away from the hook? Why not just have your egg sack pattern on the hook itself?

[@itsJonnyJyo]

I've been told the fish will swallow the hook if the bead is too close and get guthooked.

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

The beads used are about the diamter of the book gap this the bead must be above the hook so the hook gap can hook the fish

[@JJ-gm4ck]

i catch more when i place the bead right on top of the hook..no spacer.

[@berthelman1504]

is this also a good technique for chinook? keep up the great content

[@patrickwisniewski8652]

Size of the hooks?

[@georgeharrison9217]

Steelhead line setup

[@larrykimmonsjr8041]

Last step was a little fast my guy

[@stevenwoodward4974]

Smoking beads SALMON

[@Flytyinguntilimdyin]

Damn dude you’re really not ripping off any other channels are you…

[@chasenswisher992]

Whatever channel you’re referring to didnt design the knot either so who gives a fuck

[@chromecandy9703]

Put it straight on the hook, you’ll lose less fish

[@Thinkingaboutfishing]

All three wrong ways and ways you will lose more fish!

[@dakotamcmahon7597]
