The addition off a colored glow bead over a favorite presentation can turn a good day into a great of catching

Tom  great tip there!  One of the things I Do is replace a lot of my treble hooks on my spoons for walleyes with red Mustad Triple grip hooks.  I feel it ups my odds of getting more and better hook sets.  Another was discussed in a earlier thread is I like to make up my own home made scents to up my odds on the ice.

I like taking the Power Bait maggots and threading onto my pan fish jigs the same way. gives a soft tasty body.

The addition of beads really adds something,  I go to the fabric store in St Cloud and buy glass beads, and use them above hooks on my deadsticks. I believe glass is better, they are brighter in color, more reflective, you can find more colors and sizes. Plus they click clack a little bit when you jig.
