Mercurial Beads

The Mercurial Beads have a new design as of September 2024 and no longer require to be pegged on the line.  The new Mercurial Beads will reliably free-slide on your line without falling off.  You are still able to quickly change beads without cutting your line.  No special tools required.  If you do want to peg the bead, you can still use the included pegs or a number of other pegging methods such as a rubber toothpick, t-stops, etc…

Be Sure To Watch These Short Videos

The Mercurial Bead has been updated since this video, but the content is still relevant.

Buoyancy

Choose the buoyancy to match your style or preference.

Float

When drift fishing, a floating bead is used to keep your presentation up in the strike zone. Can also be useful when bobber dogging to reduce snagging the bottom.

Neutral

Neutrally buoyant beads are usually preferred when bobber dogging. The bobber will drag your weight along the bottom while your bead is free to naturally drift along in the current.

Sink

Use a sinking bead suspended under a bobber like a jig. With this method, nothing is dragging along the bottom. This technique works well in low and clear water conditions.
