I use the pink/red beads. The color looks like pregnant sand fleas to the pompano (also help in keeping your rig from fouling). Gonna also fish Western Lake northern end for some redfish, trout, and even largemouth. Will let you know how we do.

One knows this because his father taught him. If I knew how to attach an image on the MB, I would show the difference between the ones that are pregnant and not. Hook up ratios on the ones that are pregnant are like 3 to 1. :roll:

Tying a pompano rig is extremely simple if you have ever seen someone tie just one.

There are some image posting instructions somewhere on the boards. It's really pretty easy. I can help if you need.

Re: Blooms and Fising

Well, I did a google search for "pompano rig," and there are several companies, including Eagle Claw and eangler, that offer pre-tied pomp rigs. So if they are available online, I think it's a safe bet that a good tackle shop will sell them. Sure, you can tie them yourself, and I'm sure experienced pompano fishermen can do it with their eyes closed. But I can't think of anything worse than hooking a five-pounder, only to lose him due to an improperly-tied rig.

Just FYI.
