Faceted Glass Beads

These light reflecting Faceted Glass Beads have many sides to them and are extremely popular with bass and walleye fisherman. Proven fish-attractors that will not cut your line and are virtually unbreakable, these Faceted Glass Beads are critical components for Carolina rigging. When paired with another Faceted Glass Bead or a weight, these flashy glass beads create a loud clanking noise.

Simple and Helpful

"I'm a big fan of fishing worms/lizards/creatures on a hook with a bullet weight...it gets me fish, its simple and I can use it with a huge variety of soft baits in a lot of different situations.
I found that adding a glass bead makes it a bit better. Why? Well the bead adds obvious flash. It glints and reflects light (thats why I prefer faceted) which catches the eyes of hungry fish. Also every time I jerk the bait or sweep the tip up to make my bait fall back down the bullet weight hits the bead and makes a click. This helps draw in fish to investigate, especially since I fish mostly stained waters and the fish dont visual feed as well.
A bonus is that I've noticed my knots dont get worn out as much with the bead protecting the knot from the tough lead/tungsten weight crashing on it repeatedly. Get it, it helps!
I wish they had more colors for the beads, a light green and a dark blue would be great to match with my watermelon and junebug baits, i tend to use those colors most."

"Sometimes old school is best. Put a red bead between a bullet weight and your hook. It adds a little flash as well as a clicking sound. Has improved my bite numbers by 50%"

"I have been using rubber worms to bass fish for the last 4 years. I have found that the extra "flash" that the glass beads give you attract more fish. By catching the sun and reflecting it....it gives you a better presentation which should yield you more bass. Enjoy."

"Long forgotten must have for your tackle box. Put a red glass beed between your bullet weight and hook on a Texas rigged worm and your hookups will double. The flash of red and the added click will have bass finding your lure in any kind of water."

Super with soft baits!

By UncleTed
from Hilton Head Island,SC
"I have been using these faceted glass beads for two years here in my SC lake and they are really effective...a combination of 8mm and 10mm in red and clear is my favorite rig...paired w Gamakatsu 4.0 EWG hooks they produce a nice slow fall and great sound when jigged .With the 8mm on top, snags in cover are minimized and they can be paired w bullet weights for heavy 8 an 10 inch worms if needed."

A must have!

June 23, 2008
By MoFish
from Jacksonville, AR
"These beads are a must have for Carolina-rigging. My favorite thing about these beads is the fact that they don' t damage your line like a lot of the glass beads that I have used in the past. In addition, they really take a pounding. I am a C-rig nut and I have at times thrown the same bead all day without any line fray from the bead or the bead itself cracking."
