I too have had mixed results with these set ups, um I had played with the beads myself and the results were still mixed. I think your set up with line and hooks is alot better then mine were. What lb. line, and what crimp size did you use. I was using 15lb fluro. and just tying the hooks like a normal harness.(trilene knot on last hook and a standard snell on upper hook). Also what brand spoons are those I had some Warriors and a few Dreamweavers that I converted.

capt. jay was using these directly behind his 1oz inline weights the last 2 seasons and he has several charter capt. sold on them. He told me at the monroe show that he was having a better catch ratio with these then any other RIG he has come up with to date.
