I used to be so skeptical of beads as a legit bait option. Bead fishing for steelhead seems stupid when you first try but you will find in many cases a steelhead bead will out produce spawn bags and lures! Lots of people I know and respect have sworn by bead. fishing for steelhead and they have these massive selections of steelhead beads and trout beads and salmon beads in every size and color imaginable. In the beginning I was as overwhelmed by bead selection as I am overwhelmed trying to pick a fly when fly fishing. Most of the guys I knew who were good at bead fishing all had different things to tell me about bead fishing for steelhead and most of them were making their own beads. Many fisherman recommended Slay n Steel Beads and Dirks Beads or Great Lakes Steelhead Company beads and with all the sizes colors and variety of materials the whole thing just seemed silly to a spawn bag guy who was new to float fishing anyway.

I have had the pleasure of bead fishing for steelhead with several different steelhead guides over the last few years and they all run different float fishing rigs and use different float rods from spinning rods and baitcasters to centerpins but the one thing they all seem to agree about is that the steelhead bead is the go to bait and it out produces everything else.

So I assume this means the subtle nature of a plastic or glass steelhead bead is more enticing than a smelly spawn bag.
