    While out looking for a cheaper source for bead heads last weekend (no luck), I stopped in at Michael’s craft store and found these:

    I had a small hook with me to test the beads if I found them, so I put one of the Pom Poms on the hook, and seriously couldn’t get it off.

    They’ve got yellow, pink, green, red, black, white, orange- I think that’s it.

    In my opinion the orange and maybe even the red are going to be your best bet.

    I have been using those things to tie

    I was in Michaels yesterday and bought some of these ! The 5mm are smaller than I usually tie, so I ran a Kevlar thread through 3 of them ( red ones) and tied a cluster on a#10 hook. I also got the 10 mm and put them on a #8 egg hook. Very easy, just put a few thread wraps in the center of the shank and add a drop of super glue and slide the egg (pompom) on top of it. If it crowds the gape just trim it a little with scissors. On the Green river, we used the orange or cerise ones as an attractor and ran a dropper from the hook bend with a prince, copper john, BHFT, GRHE etc about 18″ from the egg. Works great! 😮
    Tap her light and she’ll always be fresh !
