I'm not sure what the "pegged bead" rig is.
If it's that unethical I'll have to figure it out and give
it a try.

There's another egg road to travel down that I tried out
this fall: soft plastic eggs, made from the same stuff
rubber worms are molded from.

These really are despicable. The trout give them
and tentative try, and then they keep on chewing.
I watched it happen in some crystal clear water, in
a channel between two lakes.

I'll have a package of those in my box every fall
now.

The other avenue has been discussed here previously - hot glue eggs.
My fishing buddy squirted out a bunch of those & showed me a couple. I
wouldn't use them. They definitely cross over whatever distinction I
draw for something to be called a fly.

There's a functional distinction between questionable flies &
questionable methods, however. I don't begrudge the molded flies so
much; but the intentional snagging in an abomination.
