[@shaunlehman664]

Addicted Fishing 10mm and 12 mm are my go to for sure

[@585fishing5]

8 & 10

[@AddictedFishing]

Lucas Hoffman 😂

[@jameskramer5614]

My size favorite bead is size 6mm

[@mtnsavagenorthwest7409]

TEN 🤘

[@elvisbautista9604]

Love your guys content, I caught my first fish ever thanks to you guys, 30 years old and never fished, started watching you guys and got my first rainbow trout, 23 in. 5 lb. I couldn't be happier. Keep up the good work.

[@wyattperkins754]

Thanks to you guys I have a solid steel head salmon tackle box and have been so excited to get in the water. Trying to know where to go has always been a challenge. I’ll try a new road or river system each weekend and just go up a little further or go a little deeper and I think now I have a few places I know will bring me some fish this year is when I get to put all the tips tricks and time spent out and about to use. I have never caught a steel head or salmon but I know this year is the year. I will post my first fish when the day comes thanks for all the time and detailed effort you are willing to share with a new resident of the north west.

[@chakadog100]

I'm 34 years old and have been fishing my whole life in PNW and i had only caught maybe 10 steelhead before. I finally tried bead fishing last weekend for the first time after watching your tutorials and i caught 4 in a few hours including my biggest to date! 17lbs 8oz! I was running a double bead setup with a 10mm and 6mm under a bobber dog. I cant wait to get back out there! You guys freakin Rock!!!

[@Euronymphflyfishing]

Good as always. Keep them coming

[@joehills3689]

Jig-Bead and Roy.....that's gold!

[@dustinwake3765]

Great information! Future video suggestion, favorite and least favorite Simms gear? Why you like each, under certain conditions, etc.... Thanks guy's for all you're doing to help the fishing community!

[@rcknrol7258]

I don't fish em much , but 12mm soft bead all the way when I do . Drift fished pegged above a size 2 hook. Back in the day my dad fished mainly size 8 corkies yarn and a 2/0 hook. Many were caught on that rig.I think a larger profile is good.

[@mtnsavagenorthwest7409]

These sizes work dandy!! I’ve drifted my setup right behind other guys and picked up many fish that wouldn’t touch anything they were throwing! I usually peg a ten mm hard bead onto my leader then just let one of these small Addicted Soft beads rest on the top of my hook and kind of free slide inbetween the pegged bead and hook works killer! 🤘 where can we post a picture of a steelhead caught on your beads? If we don’t have social media? 🎣

[@shaunlehman664]

I have the same rig set up on one of my rods right now just got home from the river stopped and made a few casts after work. Nightmare jig bead trailer! River is dropping gots good color I might have to go for a float tomorrow

[@kevinjohnson1146]

I’m going to have to go with the 7 or 8 because that is what I just watched. I have only ever fished for steelhead 2 times both guided trips on the same river. So now I’m trying to figure it out on my own and find something closer.

[@dutchcarson6125]

Man! Really dig all your videos. Totally addicted. I didn’t grow up with a fishing father so it’s always a steep learning curve and just takes a lot of self learning and a lot of trial and error. Thanks for helping level things out a bit. Do you guys still guide?

[@anthny6912]

Another great video!

[@IfearGod.]

2 of my fav fisherman

[@devanpipke]

my river PB was caught from a 6 mm modelled hard bead.... this is very interesting!

[@johnwoods1688]

Same with me. It was an old orange bead out of my dads tackle box. I used a pink pearl nail polish to change the color to what I wanted. Nailed a 15.2 # hen the first cast. I don’t use beads that often. I do keep a few in my head so it is always available. The soft beads look great

[@KrankyKrampus4806]

6-8mm glass beads from the local yarn dime store. All we had as kids in Michigan, Hard to beat that habit from the last 20 years.

[@thelordofthestreams210]

I heard from a dude in GrassPants that a dude from Roseburg invented this technique a hundred years ago, and he used a 50 foot leader and called it “flossing the rogue”.

[@acntrl_]

Guys, please do an instructional on twitching worms for steelhead! I’m sure it’d be deadly on a 1/4 or 1/8 jighead🤔

[@born2fish4lifeadventures53]

8mm-10mm in the fall after the kings run, 6-7mm mid winter too spring in New York!

[@russellhiggins1300]

Was hoping you could do some more ice fishing videos on local lakes

[@cacotwofive6035]

When are you going to have those floats back in stock again?Thanks

[@danabowen5491]

Great video Gents! What’s the discount code?

[@bwcok7947]

Polecat scented eggs for your favorite fisherman! Guarantee!

[@jconsolini6286]

Is there are better time of the year to fish with beads such as summer VS Winter? Tight Line

[@560with112xs]

So, when you tie your bead in with those 3 knots, your line won't break at that knot when fighting a fish? I usually us 8# leader.

[@bigblackmonkeyballs5273]

I want to fish that river sooo bad, looks so beautiful. Tight lines and stay addicted!!!🤘🎣🤘 Edit: do you guys still have those ball head Jigs that you can tie?

[@AddictedFishing]

Bryce Carreto Jigheads are on our site. www.addicted.fishing

[@johnwoods1688]

People think I’m nuts but I’ve never used over a size 2 hook when using beads for steelhead. I’ve just found that they like small presentations on the system I fish. I do fish larger hooks when running eggs. I’ve also moved to pre tying my leaders and hooks when running soft beads. I started glueing the soft beads onto the hook the day before I head out. That way I’m not popping and flossing. They are swallowing the bead and hook

[@BL-dl7dg]

I have a 9ft lamiglas x11 10-20lb line what is thos kind of rod good for?

[@jongarrigus4600]

Do you guys do a guide I would love to fish with you guys

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

P-line makes a great bead kit that contains many of the sizes people use

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Also I use the rubber bead stoppers they are great and don’t have to use a knot. I used to use toothpicks but the clear rubber is better imo.

[@williamcooke6056]

I used to use a Jensen egg with a tiny tuft of white yarn back in the day. It worked well.

[@michaelcoleman4700]

Whats better for high dirty water... big bright steelhead worm or a bright small (8mil) or big (12-14mil) bead? If that makes sense

[@AddictedFishing]

Michael Coleman WORM!

[@timher6514]

i like a 8mm -10mm but have my best luck with yarneggs tbh

[@nathanbixler1695]

Can u use bead setup on trout

[@wilsonflanders878]

How long of a dropper leader do you run off the jig?

[@AddictedFishing]

wilson flanders I usually run around 8-12”

[@intrisik]

Anyone know what rivers have steelhead in them right now.. Satsop or wynoochee ?

[@donaldstephensen8654]

BRO I WANNA COME FISHING WHERE ARE YOU GUYS AT??

[@guyh.4553]

Hey guys, good educational video! Quick question. You talk about using these beads for trout, but you really don't talk or show how to do it. Could you please talk about it &/or do a video specifically for trout? Thanks lots!

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Hardest part about bead fishing Alaska is the fish are picky and beads have to be perfect for the “hatch” meaning they gotta match species that is spawning the right size and color is key.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

When beads fail we use flesh flies, leaches and mice.

[@evanegan6843]

Wow I’m early😁

[@danielleininger5422]

How can I apprentice under Jordan?

[@colbybyrne4080]

Can I use those soft eggs in bait free zones?

[@AddictedFishing]

Colby Byrne Depends on the State. Check your local regulations.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

In Alaska scent is considered bait. They will check for oil if they are being hard asses. Guides on Kenai still soak their plugs in scent when bait is banned. 🤷‍♂️

[@eddieb6845]

I wish I had a deck like that with river front access

[@shaunlehman664]

They are at a park...

[@eddieb6845]

@@shaunlehman664 yeah but still

[@shaunlehman664]

Eddie B I hear ya for sure!!

[@michaelcoleman4700]

shaun lehman yah theyre at notellem park

[@Deaddriftbum]

Forgot to discuss the trout setup?

[@AddictedFishing]

Justin Meyer More on that too come! We missed that in this one.

[@davidfarrens3572]

The space between the hook and bead is the difference between snagging and a real bite. It called taking your fish to the dentist. For a Flossing.

[@tiedbyblake]

10mm

[@tylerpeacock1027]

[@BilboSandbaggins]

Why do salmon not like floating jigs but everything else

[@colefishing3514]
