Love this video...I fish double beads on the Niagara River. Letting the beads drag on the bottom results in a snag virtually every time on the rocks in that river, so I generally have to wait until I see my float tilted into the current, then shallow it a little or I'll be losing 2 beads at a time left and right.
What’s going on Addicts. Can’t express enough how much I love what you guys are doing, I’ll be completely honest tho.I have moments where I hate you all for being so damn smart and living out your dream and taking advantage of (Your,Our) passion for Steelhead & Salmon, hell fishing in general. Definitely get a little envious of what you guys are doing, and places your getting to go. Anyway like said I take my addicted hat off to you all. So I’m from Northern California been fishing since I could walk. Bobber fishing has started becoming super popular around here now. When I was a kid everyone just bounced the bottom. But last 7-10 years with lack of rain and water that Sneaky presentation is key to having a chance at fish. My question is about why you guys mostly fish Jigs, Worms, and of course (Marlins) favorite Beads. Ha ha ha, you guys mostly fish Artificial. Me personally I have caught fish off Jigs, but have yet to fish Worms or Beads. I use roe under my float, and depending on water clarity I use either a decent chunk of roe or a tiny piece in Clear water. My bad sorry to ramble. What I’m asking, is do you guys fish the artificial because of regulations on the rivers your fishing, or is it because you feel it’s harder and more challenging to catch fish on Jigs, Beads etc, Bait makes it too easy. Or is it simply because you guys think artificial stuff works better and you catch more fish. Super curious. Like said I’m just venturing into the float fishing, always did so good bouncing bottom transition took some time. So I’m just curious why you guys don’t drift roe under your floats more for Steelhead. Salmon is a given. Lol. Thank addicts, super sorry for the Novel. I get a little carried away and excited talking about chrome,, You guys can relate a little. Take care guys keep the episodes and good times coming. Thank you
Thankyou so much Jordan for this amazing tutorial... I just returned to Oregon after being out-of-state for 20yrs... Gearing up, and testing my new knowledge every week on the Clackamas & Sandy Rivers. Can't wait to try the 2-bead setup. Thankyou.
An old school way we used to use in the 60's & 70's to stop beads, or corkies, okie drifters etc. that you want to keep from moving up and down the leader is to use a toothpick. You simply position the bead/corkie where you want it on the leader and then jam the end of the toothpick into the top of the bead or corkie's hole and break the toothpick off flush with the top of the bead/corkie once the toothpick won't go any further into the hole. It's quick to set up especially with cold hands; and as the toothpick gets wet in the river it swells even tighter for a firmer non slip lure position.
I love the video here's two improvements to the set up, on your hooks use a snell knot (it's easy to tie and retains 100% line strength) and use a Uni-Loop on the dropper so you can pre-tie and change them out really quickly and (to continue my run on sentence) the dropper is reusable.
Awesome! Beads were the ticket when i was out this week. Went 2 for 6 because im still a noob at landing but atleast i get em to bite now!!! Got me nice hatchery:P
I have been watching your steelhead videos religiously. Heading to Tillamook soon, hoping to pick some big fish up on one of those rivers out there. Thanks for all you guys do!
Hey Jordan I just wanna let you know that I’ve caught at least 12 steelhead last year on bobber and beads and yet the way your float is supposed to lean I didn’t know about that and I think if I knew that I could’ve caught way more thank you so much for these tips and making it SO FREAKING EASY TO UNDERSTAND addicted squad y’all the best thxs Jordan
At this point brother, I am just downloading all of your videos and watching them while in the bush trout fishing with no service. That way I can go full learning mode, you should include links to your setups in your description, so I, and others, can simply amazon click or make a list and head out with the stuff and your videos, or at least I plan on doing that and that would help lol.
Fun fact.❤ (love you J) if you just tie a glass bead with 5 wraps your good. Two wraps above the glass bead and two below the glass bead. Recommend doing this with 8lbs test or higher.
Thank you for this video! I am going steelhead fishing for the first time next Saturday so I'm soaking up as much of your knowledge as possible! Always great videos 👍
So totally new to bead fishing..do you not need to snell the straight eyed hooks ? This would definitely save time..thanks for all the great videos.. keep them coming.
I'd would have loved to have caught a steelhead and some day I will (now 70). I did hook, but never landed 28 fish on , but the last one on to the beach/shore (10 feet off the water and by me got off and went back into the water) as I dove for it) I've never still landed a steelhead, but still want to someday.
My guess is go north. I'm not sure but I'd say the Sierras and above. Plan a trip. Go to the Redwoods state park beautiful coastal river in there. Also the jetty's in crescent city have some good ling cod fishing. Hope the fishing is good down your way. I use to fish canyon lake.
Awesome video addicted! Just starting to get into this type of fishing and wondering if you guys can guide me on some good braided line,a good okuma spinning reel combo, and size of hook 👍🏻 if you can it will be highly appreciated 🤘🏻
Ok I have to ask where do you get your rubber eggs at ok.on rubber bead?? Since your shop is sold out and the other referenced manufacturer is sold out on most
Excellent tutorial! I’ve fished beads and cookies years ago when I was a teacher in Salmon Idaho. I have been traveling the last ten years from Iowa to Riggins, Idaho. I have a guide and can only fish for 3 days. He fishes with two hot shots out the front of our drift boat. I always feel he’s fishing and I’m watching. He allows me my second rod to throw a bead or cookie. I have done very well doing this. I have never used a float and perhaps this trip I will. I recently have been tying my leader to the mid section of my #2 owner hook with a fisherman’s knot. Then I take a # 12 cheater thread it on my leader and then thread my leader through the top of the eye and pull the cheater on. This way there is no gap issue. The cheater will stay on top and not rotate into the cap. Should I place a #12 bead above the hook? Will it be as effective? Water temp. Will be cold since Riggins has been 30 degrees in the morning with a high of 40. Does that change the equation as to beads vs cookies and the size of the presentation. I’m going next week with low pressure systems over and over. Any advice will be appreciated! Keep the videos coming. Thanks!
If we use a bead on the leader and a jig above it, would the bobber rule still apply while in the water? I was taught that the bobber needs to be sticking straight up, but I also use a both jig and bead.
Keep your plastic tag ends and dispose of them properly next time, not just leaving it on the ground or a park bench. Microplastics from fishing line abrasion, tag ends and lost floats/lures are one of the main pollutants found in fish bodies. Lead by example, you guys make great vids and have a huge audience.
Hey guy's I've been using those rubber bead stops for a couple years now, and I'm finding that they are pulling out the ceramic rings of my eye guides. Is anyone else having this issue?
I guess if you're guiding and need to figure out what size and color to use its understandable to use a two bead rig,but its really not that hard to match the beads to conditions and find the right depth with a single bead rig. I've seen plenty of fish foul hooked on a double bead rig and the second leader is just more junk for guys to lose in the river.
What would you guys say the most consistent way to catch a steelhead while float fishing is. I’ve been skunked one to many times and haven’t landed one yet
Never tie to the shank of the first hook tie to the hook eyelet stronger knot point and ya won’t bed your hook out. ;) also it’s better to run a single bead rig bc steel love to tool hence the other hook can snag the fish and they can break ya off.
It’s seems like the line would break at the bead with it being ran through the bead a couple of times when fighting a fish could you explain why it doesn’t because I know Jordan wouldn’t use the method if it did..🤷♂️
Another tutorial! Love you addicted!
We love all our fans fir watching!! 🙌

The T stops for soft beads from BNR are a game changer. No line damage, no slipping down closer to or onto the hook.
Love this video...I fish double beads on the Niagara River. Letting the beads drag on the bottom results in a snag virtually every time on the rocks in that river, so I generally have to wait until I see my float tilted into the current, then shallow it a little or I'll be losing 2 beads at a time left and right.
Try using lighter pound test on the bottom bead that will break then you only loos one bead
Popov is the master bead fisher...I learned alot from him at the winter bash from a few years back.
That candy cane advice on the line is a game-changer!!

The stop the cast tip is so simple....I feel stupid I never thought Of it. Similar to a parachute cast on the fly. I appreciate you.
Quality, Quality, QUALITY video!! Great job of instruction, clear, I can actually see your rigging techniques!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Jordan taught me how to fish. Would love to have these guys come fish my river.
Every time I watch Addicted videos I learn more and more! Thanks guys from this steelhead noob!

Great info! Even someone like me that has fished the PNW for decades can learn some great pointers to help dial in. Hope to see you out on the water!!
Great info, thanks. I like to pull a piece of rubber band up into the bead to help secure it. Tight lines
Well explained Jordan. It’s a great fish catching method.
You sir are a great teacher thank you very much for these great videos keep them coming
I have been watching your steelhead videos religiously. Heading to Tillamook soon, hoping to pick some big fish up on one of those rivers out there. Thanks for all you guys do!
Have you tried tandem snell knots on hooks ? Both on one continuos leader?
Yup 6-8 wraps on the top and 4-6 on the bottom. Way better in my opinion. Or I snell the top and egg loop the bottom.
Hey Jordan I just wanna let you know that I’ve caught at least 12 steelhead last year on bobber and beads and yet the way your float is supposed to lean I didn’t know about that and I think if I knew that I could’ve caught way more thank you so much for these tips and making it SO FREAKING EASY TO UNDERSTAND addicted squad y’all the best thxs Jordan
Going to be trying beads for the first time today!

The most brilliant 👏 teacher since Ghandi
love you guys..great tutorials..cheers from Slocan lake in Silverton BC

This method above works with BNR soft beads. Yes i reuse my soft beads. This method works when you run out of the T stops provided by bnr.
Always love watching and learning from you, thank you
Great presentation! Congrats!
Thank you for this video! I am going steelhead fishing for the first time next Saturday so I'm soaking up as much of your knowledge as possible! Always great videos 👍
@addictedfishing do a video of you guys learning centerpin for the first time!
Can you guys show more fishing on the Clackamas River for steelhead
I literally was searching this up yesterday
No way are you serious 😳
@@westcoastfishing5016 yeah beads are the best for notellin river
Good counsel, Jordan. Looking forward to putting into practice.
Great presentation thanks!
When are we gonna see more bobber downs !?!?
I’ve been recently bead fishing for trout so this will definitely help!
You should fish with born and raised. Love the videos
That would be a cool collab
These guys could teach born and raised a ton about steelhead fishing...
Love to fish with them! Tell them to hit us up!!
Really good info as usual Jordan!
I will try this setup tomorrow
So totally new to bead fishing..do you not need to snell the straight eyed hooks ? This would definitely save time..thanks for all the great videos.. keep them coming.
Cool I try it tomorrow 🙂
Awesome Video well done!
Thank you so much for making videos!
You're a great teacher!
Do you know what power/action that rod is?
Very informative Thank you for sharing
Thanks for all you guys do!
Great info Jordan!!
Jordan is the best one I swear I wanna met him so bad
I agree! I wanna meet him too!
Facts
Lol fanboys thats so cute
Excellent job !
Great job..I fish Mich very similar way manistee rvr...excellent tips...FISHON
So much wisdom!
Are you dragging the lead on the bottom like bobber doggin or just dragging your beads?
I would think just beads. If the weight was contacting bottom the bobber would move and jump aggressively from the rock contact.
Great video....Do you guys have a preferred bead company that you fish or recommend?
BnR tackle for soft beads
Steelyrons steelhead beads for hard beads
@@SteelHeadSlayer thanks
I'd would have loved to have caught a steelhead and some day I will (now 70). I did hook, but never landed 28 fish on , but the last one on to the beach/shore (10 feet off the water and by me got off and went back into the water) as I dove for it) I've never still landed a steelhead, but still want to someday.
Do you have someone to help you net the fish? It could be a big help.
When you bobber dog beads, wouldn't they sit downstream bc the weight tapping the bottom would slow it down?
Thanks Jordan I'm from temecula cal and would love to get some steel head any infi on where i can go. Thanks for the info
My guess is go north. I'm not sure but I'd say the Sierras and above. Plan a trip. Go to the Redwoods state park beautiful coastal river in there. Also the jetty's in crescent city have some good ling cod fishing. Hope the fishing is good down your way. I use to fish canyon lake.
@@charlescarver2623 thanks boss
o hey man you found my favorite spot on the river u can still fish it obviously XD i caught a few steel there
Awesome video addicted! Just starting to get into this type of fishing and wondering if you guys can guide me on some good braided line,a good okuma spinning reel combo, and size of hook 👍🏻 if you can it will be highly appreciated 🤘🏻
Goin to try the 2 bead in neah bay
So you use the beads instead of roe ? That’s the only purpose of using beads?
do you ever have your line break at the bead since its been wrapped around?
@addictedfishing i have 3 extra Colville centerpins, say the word and we're on
As always this is some great stuff!!! My question is can you also use this for King Salmon? Or any salmon for that matter?
Love your videos.. love your advice..
Snell knot is the goat for beads
Ok I have to ask where do you get your rubber eggs at ok.on rubber bead?? Since your shop is sold out and the other referenced manufacturer is sold out on most
What’s the easiest way to maintain the candy cane in the line? Open bail, lift rod tip and kind of flip the line out in front of the float?
Dope stuff !
Excellent tutorial! I’ve fished beads and cookies years ago when I was a teacher in Salmon Idaho. I have been traveling the last ten years from Iowa to Riggins, Idaho.

Can you normal drift fish this without a bobber?
Is it bad to have your bobber to hook area set extra long if it still bounces and moves along the bottom properly?
If we use a bead on the leader and a jig above it, would the bobber rule still apply while in the water? I was taught that the bobber needs to be sticking straight up, but I also use a both jig and bead.
That’s what’s called a “Jig and Roy”. They have a tutorial on that setup too. 😎
They were fishing two beads on an Angler West Episode and were wrapping up and foul hooking fish.
One bead is enough after seeing that.
So what if you wanted to fish a jig, but with a dropper bead?
Not even allowed to fish beads like that where I'm at. They say it's snagging.
By the time steely gets close enough to check out the lure ...the hooks already in his mouth
Can you use this on a fly rod? Only 9’ rod I have is a fly rod
So the second beed and hook is acting like a stinger hook more less right
Why not use a 50 or 5000 size series reel? Is too over kill?
Fish on!!!!!!!!!
I've never bead fished, why the gap from bead to hook?
If you have your bead to close to the hook when you go to set the hook it will just pull through along with the bead.
Keep your plastic tag ends and dispose of them properly next time, not just leaving it on the ground or a park bench. Microplastics from fishing line abrasion, tag ends and lost floats/lures are one of the main pollutants found in fish bodies. Lead by example, you guys make great vids and have a huge audience.
How is this not considered snagging? just curious cause I know in some states its legal and some its not.
Hey guy's I've been using those rubber bead stops for a couple years now, and I'm finding that they are pulling out the ceramic rings of my eye guides. Is anyone else having this issue?
Dude you spelled it out for us, thank you!

Golf
@@blakemusiccarter3102 I was thinking hockey
Keep casting
How does this not get constantly snagged up and broken off?
Why not 3 way swivel for the weight

Why floro leader??
Now it’s Marlin’s turn lol. Ps what’s up with his hate of bead
