Would these only work with baitcasting rods (eyes up) or spinning (eyes down) as well?
Help a feller out y'all, I am from Florida after all.....
Thanks

They work either way. Like Speck said once you get dialed into them you will wonder why you didn’t have them a long time ago.

Would the beads work using them in a casting situation? If the hole was large enough? I need all the help I can get. LOL

I'll give it a shot with the separate set and run the main line thru them.
Thanks for the info all!

I'm planning to put the beads out on the rod tips and wanted to get a little more info! Do you put the bead between the last two eyes or between the 2nd and 3rd from the tip? Do you use bigger beads or smaller?

You’ll really love that click, click, click when the wind is blowing and the lake is bouncy.

I was pretty convinced myself but this in one big downside to it. But I think there are more positives than negatives to it. Cant hurt to try it though! And thanks to everyone for the replies!
