When it comes to fishing, the right lure can make all the difference between a slow day and a trophy catch. If you’re looking for a versatile, high-performance soft bait, the **Lick-Em-Lures 8mm Scented Candy Chain Soft Fishing Beads in Optic Glo Purple Haze** is an excellent choice. Designed for durability, scent dispersion, and visual appeal, this lure is a must-have for anglers targeting a variety of species.
In this guide, we’ll break down why this lure stands out, how to choose the best version for your needs, and tips for maximizing its effectiveness on the water.
## **Why Choose Lick-Em-Lures 8mm Scented Candy Chain Beads?**
### **1. Superior Scent Technology**
One of the biggest advantages of these beads is their **scented formula**. Fish rely heavily on their sense of smell to locate prey, and the **Lick-Em-Lures Candy Chain Beads** are infused with an irresistible attractant that mimics natural bait. Whether you’re targeting bass, trout, walleye, or panfish, the scent helps trigger aggressive strikes even in low-visibility conditions.
### **2. High-Visibility Optic Glo Purple Haze**
The **Optic Glo Purple Haze** color is designed to excel in various water conditions. In clear water, the purple hue mimics natural forage, while in murky or stained water, the **glow effect** enhances visibility. This makes it an excellent choice for dawn, dusk, or deep-water fishing where light penetration is limited.
### **3. Soft, Durable Construction**
Unlike hard plastic beads, these **soft fishing beads** have a lifelike texture that fish find more convincing. The 8mm size is ideal for threading onto hooks, spinner rigs, or Carolina rigs, providing a subtle yet enticing action in the water. Additionally, the material is tough enough to withstand multiple strikes without tearing.
### **4. Versatile Applications**
These beads can be used in multiple setups:
– **Drop shot rigs** – Adds scent and flash to finesse presentations.
– **Crankbait trailers** – Enhances attraction with extra movement.
– **Jig trailers** – Provides a subtle tail action that triggers reaction bites.
– **Spinner and harness rigs** – Complements blades for a full sensory experience.
## **How to Choose the Right Setup for Your Fishing Style**
### **1. Match the Water Conditions**
– **Clear Water**: The **Purple Haze** works well as it mimics natural baitfish shades.
– **Stained/Murky Water**: The **Optic Glo** feature ensures visibility in low-light scenarios.
### **2. Consider Your Target Species**
– **Bass & Walleye**: Use these beads as a trailer on jigs or spinnerbaits.
– **Trout & Panfish**: Thread them onto small hooks with a lightweight setup.
### **3. Pair with the Right Rig**
For maximum effectiveness:
– **Carolina Rig**: The beads slide smoothly, adding scent and flash.
– **Texas Rig**: Insert the bead near the hook for a subtle attractor.
## **Pro Tips for Using Lick-Em-Lures Beads**
– **Refresh the Scent**: If fishing for extended periods, reapply scent gel to maintain effectiveness.
– **Experiment with Colors**: While **Purple Haze** is highly effective, try other colors if fish seem hesitant.
– **Adjust Retrieval Speed**: A slow, steady retrieve works best for scent dispersion.
## **Final Thoughts**
The **Lick-Em-Lures 8mm Scented Candy Chain Soft Fishing Beads in Optic Glo Purple Haze** are a game-changer for anglers who want a lure that combines **scent, visibility, and durability**. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, incorporating these beads into your setup can significantly increase your catch rates.
