I prefer Beads over glo bugs. Pegged 2.5 to 3 inches above a # 4 octopuss. When your indicator goes down set the hook, no different than having a glo bug right on the hook. I have had more success on Beads then generic looking glo bugs. Yarnys are my second option. Have you ever tied your own Floats? I have been using Thingamabobbers alot and am finding I dont like them as much as hand tied yarn indicators. Just my 2 cents!
