Born on the shores of Henderson Harbor, New York, alongside charter captains Dave Zangari of Just One More Sportfishing and Mike McCarthy of Irish Rover Sportfishing, we introduce the Blinky Bead.
Many have long recognized the fish-attracting qualities of blinking lights, which create added visual interest in your presentation. By generating a tiny electric pulse that emulates the signals produced by large schools of baitfish, Blinky Beads elicit both a visual and lateral line response in salmon and trout.
This patent-pending redesigned LED light is strung like a bead and requires no additional attachment hardware, such as metal brackets or swivels. At less than ½ inch in size and weighing only 1/8 ounce, allowing your presentation to be as lightweight and streamlined as possible.
During our tests, the Blinky Bead lasted for over 100 hours underwater!
The applications are numerous:
- Add a Blinky Bead to your own tournament rig or leader as a head to a fly of your choice, placing it first for extra flash from the fly's tinsel. - Use one of our pre-tied Blinky Bead rigs for a no-muss, no-fuss presentation. - Add a Blinky Bead before your meat head for extra attraction. - Incorporate a Blinky Bead into your Spin & Glow or Peanut rigs to drive lake trout crazy.
