Seems like yesterday you were asking me for advice on steelhead, and now you are giving advanced tutorials and thinking outside the box 😂 Nicely done my friend. Keep up the good work, you are obviously killin it out there.

Thanks my man! Haha true story too

Good stuff! I was just cussing my t stop out yesterday lol. Not big on beads but the beads tearing thru is probably why i dont use them to much. Thanks for sharing

[@williamb1791]

Great stuff, always enjoy learning new ways to rig gear. Keep it up.

Oh yeah I'm definitely doin that! Thanks for the pro tip 👍🎣🤙

I like the set up. Will definitely have to try it out.

Glad I found this video. Definitely will be using this method. Best rig I’ve seen for drifting beads! I will be subscribing.

Nice tip, I do something similar with the small bead. But the sequin is a great idea 😀

It was great seeing you the other day! Dang Oregon rivers drop fast!

Love this method, just started using it this year. The sequence is a great idea for soft beads. I can’t believe I used rubber bobber stops/rubber pegs/etc. before and adjusted the bead after almost every cast. With this method in the video you get more fishing time!

100% my man! its super convenient and easy to do as well

Sweet Method for beads. Was wondering how you like your raft ? I'm looking at getting the Outlaw 140 with NRS frame shipped to me but haven't been able to see any rafts in person near me in Canada

[@FishingTheOdds]

I love rafts , less room than drift boats but way safer. Stability is amazing and unparalleled. They don’t sink. The material is exctremely durable. I’m constantly hitting the bottom of the river and hardly any wear on the raft . They are light and can launch anywhere

[@timquinton5530]

Hey man, great video and a super technique for soft eggs! What size beads and sequins do you use for this setup? It seems like the sizes would be pretty important so you don't have the bead slip thru the sequin and then the egg. Thanx for taking the time to do this!

[@FishingTheOdds]

idk the size exactly but they are the same size as the ones elevated tackle sells on their website. they sell a red small glass bead. you can also use my discount code "FISHINGTHEODDS" at checkout on their website for 15% off. not trying to sell shit to ya i just know there small glass beads are the same size and used for the same thing. sequens are about the diameter of an 8 mm bead.

[@timquinton5530]

Thanx, I was able to find some from my fly tying stuff that should work. Have a great winter season!

You are the man!! Got my sequins and my mini beads but I’m wondering…am I good to tie a knot in my 4 and 6# flouro?? Thanks for your help sir🤙

[@shawnbowen6833]

T stops suck. For soft beads I now use 20lb mono uni knot. Works great. I use 8-12 lb leader but for the bead stop uni knot you need stiff line so 20lb works. Just tie a loop of 20lb test over your leader a couple inches above your hook. Trim the lower tag short but leave about 1/4" of tag on the top of the knot. The tag keep the bead from sliding down over the knot cause the tag and your leader create a V shape your bead sits in. Up side to this is if you need to you can force your bead down over the knot and off your hook if you want to change. Just slide a new bead, different color or size back over your hook and over the knot and your good to go without re-tying anything or needing to cut your leader off.

[@FishingTheOdds]

its funny you do that! i did exactly the same thing before using the method in this video. it works well!

[@deanazarnush884]

ive tried this, i used 6lb leader and if i tighten the bobber stop knot too much it damaged my leader, if i dont, it slides down after a while. i even tried a dab of uv resin on the bobber stop knot but still no good. i now am experimenting with a simple figure 8 knot to act as the stopper. and using with and without t stops, adding a dab of uv resin to the figure 8 knot to make it larger but still clear, so far im breaking off at my swivel. i would break off on the death roe micro beads before even though i tie the same knot every time it breaks sometimes. so im on the quest for the best rigging technique for soft beads and id suggest trying the figure 8 knot method, with a t stop you almost need all your force by hand to slide it over

[@robertmcgaughey1734]

That is genius !!! I got so frustrated with the T stops … I tried supergluing them bead to the T stop and it would still blow out … this year I was trying banding the beads but now I’m going with your set up truly genius bro!! Have you ever tried banding ??

[@FishingTheOdds]

Banding? what do you mean? believe me man this setup is killer and the knot does not weaken your line . i just recently fought 4 steelhead on the same bead and same leader!

[@robertmcgaughey1734]

A bead company called creek candy makes a banding tool and it is a a needle with a tiny little hook at the end and you attach your bead to the line with a rubber band … the line is never actually threaded through the bead … and when you want to switch out your bead you just cut the rubber band and band another bead … it works really well too unless you lose the tool

[@robertmcgaughey1734]

You gotta check out mark ehlberg he has a you tube video about pegging versus banding it’s a great method

[@FishStalker777]

Nice video. How do you set the hook when your bobber drops? I seem to not get good hookups when I try to set hard and fast straight up and right away. Do you feel down, sweep to side or anything?

[@FishingTheOdds]

just reel and give a lift, not a set!! dont take much. sometimes just a reel down does the trick

[@seanvan6377]

what size is the black bead ?

[@deanazarnush884]

nice, i tried this but it still slides over the glass micro bead, perhaps its because i went through the soft bead with the hook and slid it over the bead, and somehow it breaks at the micro bead i do the same knot every time. so i now do a figure 8 to act as a stopper, and a dab of uv resin, then either t stop or no t stop. i find the the figure 8 works and my line breaks at my other knots and not the figure 8 knot

[@FishingTheOdds]

Yeah with this rig I always slide the bead down the line. It lasts wayyyyy longer . Of course you can still blow out the bead over time.

[@beaureid8716]

Hey man, do you have any issues with your bead staying in place, moving up the line, without something like a t-stop holding it in place?

[@FishingTheOdds]

No issues my man

[@jeremyski6654]

What do you tie on the end of that Snap swivel

[@FishingTheOdds]

i tie directly to the swivel with my lead

[@twistedjigco.548]

I’ve fished all sizes of beads and even bigger T stops on smaller beads ( 10-12mm bead with large t stop) and still blow over them. This is the way! T stops suck big cod.

[@FishingTheOdds]

Agreed! Get tired of blowing out expensive beads

[@snaxx117]

What size sequins are you using ? I wanna give this a try

[@FishingTheOdds]

not entirely sure, if you were holding a 4 mil bead they would be the same big around haha

[@allancrow134]

Cool, I have a serious question. How is the knot strength at the small bead? When you are down to 10 lb or 12 lb leader knot strength matters. The egg loop is a very strong and reliable knot, does the bead knot weaken your leader? If so buy how much? Thanks. :)

[@FishingTheOdds]

I was nervous about that as well honestly, however if you go back and watch some of my videos i have caught some BIG steelhead with this knot. also Pull on the leader super hard and you wont break it. after fishing this way a couple of years i stand by it and never get nervous about the knot. i do however get nervous about the fish coming off cause bead fishing has such a small hook haha. this is why i run size 2s for everything as oppose to size 4 hooks

[@allancrow134]

@@FishingTheOdds Know what you mean about hook size, I run size 1 to 2/0, size 2 is two small for me, mind you my local river(on Vancouver Island) is a pretty decent size with lots of colour so often a bigger presentation is better. I don't really get a chance to fish any clear or low water so I'm not having to dial it down much. Cheers. :)
