Happy where did you buy green gloving beeds that you have on black WW?
They are different than ones from Michaels ( I believe)

Those look amazing, I am looking forward to using my home made styles to see how they do. Just figuring out whether we going to Gull or sylvan to start the white fishing season. What a conundrum to have right???:angry3:

I made Rickys orange yellow candy canes and kim pink and green WW

Happy put one soft glow green bead on red WW.
Zip gave me one couple years ago on Gull , and white fish showed right away ( as soon as I dropped it down)

happyfisher 12-07-2018 05:51 PM

Bead on head or tail do you guys think it makes a difference ?

Red Bullets 12-08-2018 12:22 AM

The bead to the head. A wary whitefish will usually circle the head of a hook and take the wire worm from the unbeaded tail end with the hook. And sometimes feeding whitefish just come in fast and hard from any angle. A beaded tail might be hard to have the hook stay horizontal on light line.
In February when lingcod are laying eggs, a copper colored bead on the tail end might be good. Lincod have copper colored eggs and the whitefish gobble them up. A few years a go someone on the the forum posted a good video of several whitefish following a spawning burbot in Sylvan lake.

Aside from wireworms, try some tiny yellow rubbertail jigs too.
