Awesome .Thanks for sharing .

You and Mike are awesome,Bill. Seems like I learn something new from each video you post! Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to help us rookies lol.

Great video. Thanks for taking us along.

Of all the "trout" videos out there, yours are the best! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for a very informative and very well made video!

Awesome as always! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the valuable information. Can't wait to try this rig out!

I've landed 8 at mineral springs railroad bridge. 2 at man made dam. good video mike.

The best bead how to video. Thanks for info gonna give 18 mile creek a try this year a few times because of you. Thanks again.

great video. Thank you.

Very informative and answered many of my questions..thank you!

cant wait to try out this set up. thanks dude

Good videos. Its nice to see guys getting after it without the attitude. keep up the good work.

thanks for the info bill and mike,I will be in olcott at burt dam this sat Oct 15th,hope to see you both there guys.

Thank you, thank you and thank you again , this will be my first time using beads and it will be my first trout, pretty much the only fish left to catch for me, i cought samon with roe, but i like this better easy quick and no harm to the fish...

Great video, guys, and nice fish! I just tied a handful of these last night. I use them here in Oregon to go after winter steelhead on a fly line. I tie them behind my main fly, which is a sinker in these cold winter conditions. I loop thru the bead 4 times rather than peg them.

nice fishing!

Thanks for showing this setup

wny angler - it seems the fish run later in the streams in the Buffalo river system , i usually dont see many fish until mid november there

Excellent video for beginners! Haven't tried this in Ohio waters yet, but will definitely try!!!

Thanks bro nice job

Good fishing tips

Thanks bud!!!!!!!

Beautiful fish and great fight on the light line

just subscribed great info thanks

Awesome video-plan on using this and wax worms today-might do that tandem line/bait thing I told you about-it's beautiful here today man- hope you got to get out fishing after work! I'm stuck at work till 5 then fishin asap- have a great one Bill-Greg

This is the best presentation for beginner like me....hope you can make more videos on other type of fish.....thanks a lot

Awesome vid man. Do those pegs work better than a toothpick and what size do you typically use 8mm 10mm or bigger smaller? I want to try and start using these.

I definitely have to try that knot ,I have issues with Albright knots ehh

Think the fish will be in cayuga after next big rain?

A pegged blood dot bead doesn't "spin or roll" naturally under the water as its fixed to your mono. Snell your hook too then the hooks shank will stay in line with your mono leader/tippet and not form an obtuse angle which can cause you to miss 20% of your takes. I like your choice of small hooks. They stick like a staple in the mandibles and don't wiggle out. If you finish off your leader with a loop, then you can easily attach pre tied rigs containing 2 to 3 feet of tippet with a hook already attached and a nail knot of 20 lb mono clipped tight 2-3 inches above the hook. The bead won't slide past the nail knot and will allow the dotted head to spin naturally in the water. Changing bead color and size is critical day to day and hour to hour. Just nip the tippet knot which is attached to your leader loop, slide the bead off and attach different one. Re-tie back to the loop and your back fishing in under a minute. No need to pull tooth pics out from used beads and you don't have to re-tie on the hook each time. Boom! 30 years of bead fishing experience you just gained in two minutes of reading. I enjoy watching your vids. Thanks

Nice video.

Damn man sorry to hear that, well keep making awesome videos.

lol....the waters kinda clear he says. it's fishing the slush!!!! nice catch.

Bill and Mike if you ever come to erie,pa. for steelies let's hook up. season should be starting soon. I don't live that far from walnut Creek lol.,or maybe we can meet at burt dam.in m hoping to make a few trips there in newfane this year.

1:33 I've seen that knot in instructional videos half a dozen times and I never understood it (this is the first video of yours I've watched). Barrel knot? The way you did it just seared it into my brain, thanks man. Subbed.

Great video. Quick question: would this work in stillwater as well, I fish mainly in lakes. Thanks for the vid!

Thanks for the video. I just tried fishing beads for the first time last weekend and your video was very helpful. Was the hook you tied also bigger for demo purposes? Hard to tell in the video but it looks larger than a number 14.

interesting setup. I wonder why so much space between the bead and the hook? wouldn't it work having the bead very close to the hook?

Great video! However, I am trying to locate the bobber sleeves you used. Can't find them.

Hello, thank you for your nice video. Yet I have a question, you have put the hook few inches below the egg on the string instead of directly clinging the egg on the hook, but if you do won't the fish notice the hook? I am afraid if I have misunderstood your video so if you have attached the hook few inches below the egg for some specific reason, could you please explain it for me? Again, thank you for your informative video!

Another great video ! Thanks for the info . Do you ever take home any of the large Steelies or Brownies for fillets.

What color name and what mm bead is that

Great vid! Would this rig work with salmon like coho if not what do i do different to make it work with salmon

So you prefer the triple surgeon's knot to the blood knot? I do think the surgeon's knot is much easier to tie if your hands are cold.

Thanks for video . I use similar setup. Worked great in bad days . If you would like - try it. Double bead. Chartreuse on top pink on bottom. Two hooks of course. Also sometimes I put a bead with hook on top and pink work on bottom . Distance between them like 8-10 inches. Sometimes I tip the empty hook with wax worms for the smell . That's in Wisconsin . And also wanted to ask you would you try to get them on spinners ? And if yes can you make. Video ? Thank you

If I ever caught anything that big here in Arizona, I would have it mounted and put it up on my roof for everyone to see !!! LOL

Do you like the sniel not or eggloop Knot for bead fishing

I have always been using swivels to connect the two lines. Does that work just as well when steelhead, and salmon fishing?

You guys rock! Quick question. How long is the rod you're using with this setup?

What size should be good for Burt dam

I've never tried this technique before. I will as soon as I can get away to fish though. Where was this place, if you don't mind me asking? I'm dying to go out fishing but I'm currently without a car and it's hard to get to those Go To fishing spots. I also watched your other video when you were killing it on Garlic Eggs. You were slaying them on the eggs. ;)

How big a bead is considered a trout bead? I just bought a bunch of 10mm soft beads (UV) to try my hand at steelhead. I saw a video where they use xtra sm transparent bobber stops instead of bead pegs & push it up into the egg, so I want to give it a try. Lastly do you use scent? Is there an "egg scent"? I was going to use shrimp or krill if not. Any thoughts? Thx.

What is your opinion on fish consumption in 18 mile creek/Oak orchard?

What size hook were you using?

Does rod length matter a whole lot? Would a 7 footer work or should I use a longer rod?

I have no luck with beads I stick with real eggs be nice though i could get em to work for me it would save a lot of time mess and trouble

mono for main line or braid ?????????????????????????????????

Hello, I am still confuse about bead fishing. Do you rig your setup like float fishing with jig where the jig is about 1-2 foot above the bottom or do you drift where the sinker is bouncing along the bottom. And is drifting with a bobber called "bobber dogging?"

does it snag a lot if we drift like this?

What rod are you using name and length of it

I can’t hook up using beads tried for a long time just doesn’t happen

just for a tip use a Snell note. you don't miss as much fish and it is a stronger note then most hook note. And it is god for eff sacs and single caned eggs.here is a good Snell note video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wmghlq8gQZk.html

A video of some one that actually goes fishing, shelf ice, you don't see this in other videos. Thanks

I don’t understand how this works I’ve always wanted to try this technique but it seems a little counter intuitive to not have the hook where the bead sits. Seems like there would be a lot of missed hook sets.

Do u retain steelhead or are they catch and release only ?

Do you guys ever fly fish for salmon and trout? Or strictly use spinning gear? I am looking for some tips on rigging a fly rod for an upcoming brown trout trip.

What size (gram) float are you using for low clear water and what size for higher water? thanks!

Wrong knot on hook snell knot with bead

One cast..one fish...go home...that's how I used to do it....believe it or not.

Beginner here: Can some one please tell me why not hook a bead directly on to a hook. Why the fuss about putting it a couple of inched from where the strikes happen. I'm not doubting this conventional set up and wisdom ... just a question. Thanks.

Do you get paid by TroutBeads? It's of course OK that you do but just wondering.
