I've used them on occasion with mixed results. For salmon and steel I found them similar to eggs and estaz. However, 1 time I took a guided trip in idaho and landed over 50 trout in 8'hours mostly using beads. That is about 3 times my previous best day ever! All but 2 fish were hooked right in the front of the mouth/jaw but it was usually on the outside as stated previously. I've accidentally foul hooked a fish by nymphing before so I didn't notice an increase in true foul hooking of fish. I personally don't see a difference in hooking the outside jaw or inside jaw with a sharp hook and dragging a fish away from its home. But to each their own. Many of these fish are purposely stocked for the purpose of catching, generating tourism income, gear purchases, etc. I realize this truth even though I have never kept a fish in my life.
