Interesting that you should mention the barbs on hooks that you pulled from the water..I pulled two rigs in by hooking the indicator last week. Both rigs had two hooks which is fine, but none of the hooks were barbed. Also, I don't know why you'd ever need 1/0 to 2/0 hooks while fishing beads for steelhead...=)
I also noticed that the rigs had HUGE!! beads on them. Are those very popular? I'm used to using smaller beads on the upper salmon. I have noticed these magnum sized beads on the SFCR these past 2 years. Are they effective? They were easily 5-10 times bigger than anything I've ever used for steelhead. Just curious more than anything. My smaller beads have worked great either way.
