    Default Glow jigs


    Tied a few 1/32 oz x Matzou #8's with some 1/4" brass beads that I coated with glow powder. Tails also have some glow material in them. They hang perfectly horizontal when fished under a float. Tied them this afternoon. Name:  20200223_150839.jpg

    The bead is placed on a pin and the pinhead inside and holding the bead in place. The pin shaft is then wrapped onto the hook. It really doesn't take long to do. Here is a pic of one lying on the coin. This allows it to hang horizontal. Name:  20180218_144517.jpg

    Where do you get the bead pin? Or is it just a sewing pin?
    Thanks

    I have played around with beads for many years now and still have a lot of them with many Tungsten for added weight. I would bet these Brass beads are pretty light huh?

    They look good though too!

    Total weight with a 1/4" diameter brass bead is 1/32 oz Skip. That's about max for brass bead heads. They are best for vertical presentations as they hang perfectly horizontal in the water column like a minnow or baitfish would.
