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.
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!
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
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!
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.
Having some trouble with getting the bead into the center of the knot. It’s difficult to move when the tag end is looped back over to do the wraps. I haven’t been able to figure out. I end up with most of the knot above the bead
i have fought many steelhead with the 12 and 15# floro and i have not had any problems. however, i can not speak for 6# . you may just have to test it out!
@@FishingTheOdds Copy that brother. Using the method on big trout in crystal clear rivers. Keep on keepin on!! May bounce some questions off’n you once I blow up my 13’ Aire Trib🤙
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 ??
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!
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
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.
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
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?
Good info. Thanks gonna give it a shot as the current bead over the bobber stop method seems to have the same result as a t stop. Also where the hell was the soup lol
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
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
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. :)
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
@@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. :)
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
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 another method that Todd at never quit fishing taught me was to put a uniknot in but instead of a bead, put some wool in there. looks super deadly.

Glad I found this video. Definitely will be using this method. Best rig I’ve seen for drifting beads! I will be subscribing.
Just seen this, thanks man!
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?
No issues my man
It was great seeing you the other day! Dang Oregon rivers drop fast!
Right haha
I like the set up. Will definitely have to try it out.
Just wanted to thank you again for this video great how to😊 tightlines sir

Great tip.will try that way.thanks for sharing!
Nice tip, I do something similar with the small bead. But the sequin is a great idea 😀

Having some trouble with getting the bead into the center of the knot. It’s difficult to move when the tag end is looped back over to do the wraps. I haven’t been able to figure out. I end up with most of the knot above the bead
Sinch it down to where you have about 1/8 " of the knot on each end of the bead then move the bead to center of the two ends. then sinch tight
Oh yeah I'm definitely doin that! Thanks for the pro tip 👍🎣🤙
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🤙

lol agreeed

I got some of those too. 🤘
Good class thanks Oregon
What size sequins are you using ? I wanna give this a try
not entirely sure, if you were holding a 4 mil bead they would be the same big around haha
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?
just reel and give a lift, not a set!! dont take much. sometimes just a reel down does the trick

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.
What do you tie on the end of that Snap swivel
i tie directly to the swivel with my lead
Great video and great idea....it's just hard to see what exactly you're doing when you wrap and knot the bead
Sorry! It’s hard to film so close like that
Awesome idea! Problem solved!
Yessir!🤙
this was really good. thanks
liked and saved to view it again for later
good deal!
I like it👍
Thank you sir

Agreed! Get tired of blowing out expensive beads
Do the beads ever travel up the line?
No sir water keeps the bead against the stop
Do you ever have a problem with your line breaking where you peg the bead? Wondering if that knot you tie weakens the leader
My buddy had the same concern. Until the other day I hooked 7 steelhead on 1 leader

I don’t want the bead to slide basicslly
