Yes, they are designed to be removed and reused throughout your session.
They are designed to fit most standard hook patterns, though they may have a tighter fit on very thick-gauge, extra-large hooks.
Only if left on during the cast. When removed prior to fishing, they have zero impact on your rig mechanics.
They are made from a soft, durable rubber designed to grip the metal point without causing damage.
Ensure the hook point is clean of any bait residue or oil which can act as a lubricant.
Apply a tiny amount of water or saliva to the bead to reduce friction during installation.
To install, simply hold the hook shank and gently slide the 3mm rubber bead over the hook point until it rests snugly. No glue or additives are required.
Compatibility: These beads work with a wide range of standard carp hooks used for bottom baits and pop-ups. Because they are constructed from high-quality rubber, they resist degrading under prolonged exposure to water and UV light.
Care Instructions: To ensure longevity, rinse the beads with fresh water after each session to remove silt or lake debris. Store them in a small rig box or tackle pouch to prevent losing the small units during transit.
