[cool][#0000ff]You evidently missed a similar discussion from a week or two ago. Those are plain old solid plastic chartreuse walleye rig beads. I started adding a couple of those ahead of crawlers or minnows sometime last year to try to improve the walleye bite. Only a couple of wallies on them so far but lots of additional cats and wipers.

[#0000ff]When I fish two bait rods...one with beads and one without...I seem to get more bites on the beads...especially on days when the fish are a bit more finicky. Cats have a lot better eyesight than most folks think and are sometimes very visually oriented in their dining habits. They do smack lures, ya know. The added bling adds a few extra fish on most trips. Only two of my six cats yesterday came on beadless bait.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have a variety of colors, but chartreuse and hot orange...sometimes in combination...seem to work the best. I also have some "glow" beads but don't fish at night that much anymore so have not really tried them.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am betting they would work for trout or perch too but have not rigged them for those species.[/#0000ff]
