Why these fit

For salmon in lakes, the strongest options in this set are the bead-style egg imitations. Hawken Fishing AERO-BEAD #2 - ROCKET RED and Hawken Fishing AERO-BEAD #5 - COSMIC PINK give you bright visibility when fish are responding to roe-like cues. Hawken Fishing AERO-BEAD #4M - PEACHY PINK MOTTLED and Hawken Fishing AERO-BEAD #CM1 - STEELHEAD PINK MOTTLED are good when you want a subtler mottled look in clear or low-light water. If you’re fishing around current, outlets, or spawning areas, Hawken Fishing AERO-BEAD #C3 - STEELHEAD ORANGE CLUSTER is the best cluster-style option here.

Technique notes

Fish these as finesse bead presentations on a leader. Keep the offering near bottom or at the depth salmon are holding, especially along drop-offs, inlet/outlet current, and spawning-run travel lanes. In clearer water, start with mottled pinks; in stained water or low light, try red or orange. A slow drift or controlled dead-drift is the most practical approach.

When to switch

If salmon are not keyed on eggs, switch away from beads and look for a more active presentation or a different bait profile. If fish are suspended well off bottom in open lake water, these bead options are usually less effective than a lure or presentation that reaches the holding depth more directly.
