It's funny, as soon as my wife hears the intro of Addicted Fishing on our tv, she hollers, " are you watching Addicted without me? Pause it so I can watch too". Gotta love her.
Thank you Jordan and Addicted crew. I just returned home from 5 solid days of bank fishing on the Clearwater in Idaho. My buddy was swinging and caught one steelhead on day 1. I was float fishing all manner of jigs and soft beads and having very little luck. I rewatched this video for inspiration the night before our last day, went with the red and white jig, and caught a monster! Appreciate y'all so much for everything you do for this community!
Thanks for this tutorial. I saw it when it came out but I was not living in Washington at the time. I am now here and getting ready. I have my sink it jigs and lured beads and I have addicted fixed floats.
I am used to fishing a dropper off the hook shank. Favorite Montana fly fishing set up in August is a hopper with a dropper. The hopper patter acts as your bobber for your nymph and a bait on its own
Dropper fishing is always a productive method if you can use 2 hooks. One of my favorite fly fishing set ups is a hopper fly with a bead head nymph dropper. I too just tie onto the bend in the hook.
Ive caught a lot of steelhead on beads, all different sizes and colors. I have yet to catch one on a jig. Ive got them just about everything else but a jig. Its low and clear here so ive been downsizing and using softer colors but nothing so far. I would love any advise you have to offer.
Off topic question. Anyone know where to get a replacement handle for an older spinner reel? Amazon was no luck. Really like my older reel and am not impressed with all these lookalike reels with no rear drag adjustment, so I'm trying to save this one from the garbage bin.
Guys, a 15 foot bumper is ridiculous ( sorry ) you can run a bobber stop up your braid as well as your float of choice, even the one in video. The more braid you have on the water verses monofilament is crucial, a better natural drift with very little mending, less drag, better hook sets.
I found this to be the case as well. But I prefer the bumper, so I apply line floatant to my bumper which seems to help with the mending and keeping my bumper from sinking and catching current.
@@Bk-dm4ov I found using a 3 to 4 foot leader max. And running all your gear up the braid , and out fish the guys that are with me, with all the garb going down the river ( stick your camera down there and watch) as long as your bait is connected to your favorite leader, the fish could careless about the braid above your 3 1/2 foot leader
@@tlpoutdoorsman good stuff. I definitely don't use a 15ft bumper. Something closer to 4ft as well But I still apply the floatant to the line as I always end up with at least some mono or flouro line on the water.

What would you rather fish? JIgs or Beads? Or BOTH?! 🤔
Addicted Fishing jigs definitely both!
What's ever catches more fish😁
A red n white one like Jordan is usin
Kinda hard to twitch a bead, but they are great
Beads
Thank you brother for not being greedy with your experience. Too many people just don’t want anyone to experience steelhead

Caught most my steel on jigs but really enjoyed the one fish I have caught on a bead behind a doggin set up .
Love the content guys! So helpful and entertaining!
You should try only rounded split shot the other shot catches current and makes it not a natural drift
Many thanx for the detailed information and awesome hitting...
I'm getting very interested in fishing beads. Would love to see more for just trout set ups

Ontario "CANADA" Allows 2 hooks.... where you getting the not allowed part?, i actually do this rig when fishing big waters like the Niagara
Are more addicted floats and worm 🐛 hooks coming out soon.
Jordan your in my spot bro!
Saw your bobber go down when you looked back at the camera, Hugh

You guys are so freaking awesome
Your allowed to fish 2 hooks in Canada I fly fish with double nymph rig and use a streamer and egg behind it
Curious why you chose a spinning reel set up vs casting reel.
Thanks for sharing
Good video. One question. Does anyone use the bungie cords on those Sims Jackets? I'm about ready to cut my bungies off.
1st comment! 😃 thank you for another video addicted crew!
Stay healthy fellas...wash them beaters 😁
What do you do with your leader if your fishing 3-4 foot holes
Nick Lawver Just shorten everything up.
On this set up. Do you see the bead or jig get hit more often?
Depends on the water level and color. Most of the time it is 75% the bead. Yesterday it was 50% for us.
Do salmon see UV
I know it varies, but I did not catch the jig weight fir your set up.

Did you say 50lbs braided line?
30-50 lb
Thank you. I am one of your avid subscribers now. I love watching your videos.
@addictive fishing, did u see that the people are really mad and are trying to tell the government to let us fish?
Leo Rimmereid Ya, I sure hope we get some sort of access to fish somewhere.
@@AddictedFishing even if it's just bank fishing
Literally flossing length :D
