Floating Beads

[Greenheart]

A certain person who looks very similar to myself used this technique to get some shiney bits for his Harley (Also remarkably similar to mine) Have it from a reliable source that the parts arrived OK Duty free Can,t remember his name though. Might drop you a PM when I need a couple of new Orvis fly lines for one of my Birthdays!!!!

I'm your man, let me know.
I've got a line on a job at a Big sporting goods retailer here in town, as the fishing mgr. Keep your fingers crossed. We'll both be happy.
We've got a number of Harley shops in town too.

Good luck with the job mate.

I don't use beads,i just use the small polystyrene bits out of packing cases dipped in lumi paint(if you want them shiny).Keeps the crabs off,no probs.
You can either use a bait needle and thread it on,or tie it on with bait elastic,and it does stick with beachcasting tactics.Never tried this one but it could also be used like a hair rig pop up.

Sounds like a good northern common sense Idea Tat. How do they stand up to casting?

Check the edit greenheart,mind you I'm not the worlds best power caster,not even power caster.Seriously they are ok for a good 100-120 yds,my m8 hit that regular and he put me on to them

There made from an ultra buoyant material that has to be mined in deepest Peru by pygmi tribes.
This may not be true,when you look at them there far from being a bog standard bead ,some of them have fancy paint jobs etc all this will bump the price up.

Yep, I know what you mean Gullyworm. Some of the paintjobs on floating beads would put Clarice Cliff to shame. Mind you I,m not sure that flounders appreciate art. I’ve never had one admire my contempary kitchen design or my faux Art deco frying pan!!!
