I've used the trout beads as well. A couple of other ways to rig them is to 1. put the bead in a vise, heat the hook with a lighter and press it into the bead, or 2. thread the hook through the hole in the bead and melt the bead around the hook. I use nailpolish as well. I'm not sure why the opaque color works better in hooking fish...but it seems to.
