Questions and Answers
Unlike hard beads, our soft beads...
Look, feel and smell like natural bait
Are super soft. Salmon, Steelhead and Trout hold onto these allowing you to get a solid hookset
LOADED with our secret blend of scents. Salmon, Steelhead and Trout think they're real
From the fish' perspective, the end result is a soft bead that looks like food, smells like food, feels soft like food and tastes like food. Can you say "Fish On!?"
soft eggs
I absolutely love these soft eggs i've tried them all and the steelhead not only take them but they seem to hold onto them compared to hard beads. The colors are great I really love the mottled color's for clear low water. I've given some to my fly fishing fanatics and they love the neutral buoyancy and how they can get a prefect swing with them they also said they can cast them much easier then the hard beads. I've used X-factor products for a couple years and have really enjoyed the facts that they are quality products If you haven't tried the miracle worm especially the scrimp pink on steelhead your missing out, I and most of the guys I've given these too use nothing but this worm anymore the steelhead even when they have lock jaw cant leave it alone. The people at x-factor are the nicest most professional group I've dealt with in a long time and I've been steel heading for over 50 years. compare the prices and you will find you get more bang for your buck with X-factor then all the other companies that are getting into soft baits. The complete soft egg kits they sell are well thought out and I love the way they made the egg pin applicator its so much easier to get the stops when you have cold wet old fingers that have problems picking up small objects. You cant go wrong buying their products and if you're not using them you're missing the best opportunity to come along in a very long time.

Soft Bead 12mm Orange
I've fished multiple soft beads, but the XFactor Tackle soft beads are my favorite! They are durable, made in the USA, and available in great colors/sizes/scents. The rigging method is nice, with the rubber stops and sequins, included with purchase. If you like fishing beads, you can't go wrong with the XFactor Tackle soft beads!

Soft Beads
I live near Fredonia in western NY and have landed over 73 steel head on x-factor soft beads since February. My fishing buddy turned me on to them and that is all i have used since.. They grab them and hang on to them which makes for good hook sets and lots of reel screaming fights!! Thank you for an affordable product that holds up and most of all works great!! Ross L

Hookthem
Purchased 5 colors Hot Red, Steelhead Orange, Shrimp Pink, Bubblegum and Hot Pink. About 95% of the time I fish for Salmon and Steelhead are at the Cowlitz River in Washington State. I had so much success with jigs, cookies and yarn but I had to work for it. When I received my soft beads from X-Factor, I went and tried them out that weekend, the first color I used was Hot Red 12mm under a bobber with a 7ft, 15lb leader, it took me 1 hour at the Cowlitz and I caught two steelheads, a 10lb and a 12lb. It was so effective and easy to use, the package comes complete with bobber stopper and everything you need for your set up. The price was very good and I received mine on time and X-Factor did an outstanding job packing them up. That is all I'm using now are my X-Factor soft beads and I'm using them again this coming Easter Weekend. I am going to try other colors and see if they do the same thing as the Hot Red. Very satisfied with the X-Factor soft beads and I recommend them to all other anglers out there to try them out.

Sockeye Success
I purchased these eggs in red, orange, pink and atomic yellow. The sockeye preferred the orange...then the pink...then 2 pink eggs with a yellow in the middle. I rigged them as shown in the video (about 1” above the hook). On day 2 I just started threading them onto the hook itself. We caught dozens of sockeye (in the mouth). Once I got used to the subtle take it was really fun setting the hook and feeling the weight on the other end start shaking it’s head. Convenient little packages just be sure to remove the staple holding the separate bag with the beads and sequins or you might get pricked. I found out the hard way- twice. Will purchase again for my next trip.

I bought the soft beads for steelhead fishing. First time out hooked into 2 steelheads. The soft beads are easy to use and are very durable. I'm very pleased with this product and at it's low price highly recommend them. They are now my go to lure for steelheading.

Soft bead kits
I normally fish egg sacks that I've cured and tied by myself. But I saw these and thought why not give them a shot. I purchased a variety of sizes and colors not knowing what they would like best. The day came to try them out in North western New York in one of the lake Ontario tribs. I rigged them exactly how the video showed, added a small wieght 1/8 once I believe, about 2 ft above the soft bead. On my 3rd drift at daylight I hooked the first king salmon of the day. After releasing him it only took 3 or 4 more drifts before I hooked the first brown trout of the day. Even though water conditions were not the greatest, these things worked over and over all day. I caught 3 fish on the same bead before it got ripped. I had my best night of the day on 10mm brown trout roe color in shrimp sent. Will be buying more in the future. Great product

I used a single egg below a corky on a treble hook and the fish just slammed the soft bead. They work so well I ordered a bulk package.

Mr.
I had the opportunity to use your product for the first time this year and even though I did not catch any fish with it I liked the way it performed. I plan to use it again when I get out fishing for salmon again.

Hey Tyler,
They're called sequins, you should be able to find them at a local craft store like Joann's or Michael's. Let us know if you have trouble locating them, we do have them in bulk and we're happy to figure out a fair price to help you out, if needed.

Q:
Recommended bead size for #4, #2 hooks?
Asked by:
Brad
- 12/6/2016
A:
Hey Brad,
I use 10mm with a #4 hook, 12mm work fine with a #2 hook. These however are general recommendations that could change based on where and how your fishing as well as what your looking to achieve; ie best flotation, neutral buoyancy, etc. Feel free to post a follow-up question here if you need more info.

Q:
Is this link for beads or clusters? Which do you recommend for steelhead and which size and color? Thanks
Asked by:
rob
- 10/19/2017
A:
Hi Rob! This link is for soft beads, the egg clusters are there for color reference only. Size and color depends more on where your fishing than what you're fishing for. Both summer and winter steelhead have been caught on all sizes of soft beads and egg clusters. As a general rule we recommend: low and clear = small and light (orange, peach, shrimp pink, etc.) , high flow / lower visibility = bigger and brighter (12 or 14mm in hot pink is best here). I'm always hesitant to make a rule here because there are many factors that contribute to choosing size and color. When in doubt, just call us at 541-508-3474 , we're happy to research the river you're fishing and give our recommendation based on water flow, water temp, time of year and in many cases personnel experience. Thanks for the question, hopefully this is helpful to you.
