whteglve Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 This may sound like a dumb question to most of you but here goes. Can you use glass beads in place of the metal ones on Spinnerbaits? Any reasons why the wouldn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-D Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 You can, but... -glass beads weigh more and throw off the balance of the bait (rolling at lower speeds) -glass beads shatter when they contact rip-rap (hollow metal or plastic ones don't) JMHO Big-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Plastic would probably be a better option. Problem with glass is – rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGary Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 For the bead next to the clevis you need metal. Lets the clevis spin easier and won't wear out. The rest of the beads doesn't matter what type they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
