Usage tips and recommended setups: To maximize performance, carefully thread a Devaux polystyrene bead onto a suitable hook, then secure it firmly using strong tying thread. Prefer a light or unweighted head to maintain effective balance and emphasize the booby effect. The beads are ideal for reservoir rigs where flotation and visibility are crucial; they are also suitable for creating flies suspended above the surface to trigger strikes from active trout. Try the "booby" rig to probe different water columns and provoke takes from educated fish. Finally, vary leader lengths according to current strength.
