Full details
The MAP Side Puller Beads (Large) are essential components for anglers utilizing pole top kits with side puller elastic systems. Designed to facilitate a smooth, secure connection between the elastic and your rig, these beads ensure that your puller system functions reliably during intense fishing sessions. While they offer excellent durability and ease of use, please note that they are specifically engineered for compatibility with MAP Side Puller Bushes and Puller Bungs, which may limit their utility in non-MAP specific systems.

FAQs
How many beads come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 large side puller beads.
Can I use these with other brands of puller bushes?
While they may fit others, they are specifically designed for MAP Side Puller Bushes and Puller Bungs for the best fit.
Are these beads reusable?
Yes, they are durable enough to be reused; however, check for signs of wear each time you change your elastic.
What is the primary function of the pre-drilled hole?
The pre-drilled hole is designed to allow the elastic to pass through while keeping the terminal knot secure within the bead.
Do I need any special tools to install them?
No special tools are required, though a standard elastic puller tool can make the process easier.
Troubleshooting
Elastic knot slipping through the bead
Ensure you are using a slightly larger stop knot or that the knot is pushed firmly into the recess of the bead.
Bead does not sit flush in the puller bush
Verify that you are using an official MAP Side Puller Bush, as generic bushes may have different diameters.
Difficulty threading elastic through the bead
Use a thin wire threader or a specialized elastic puller tool to guide the elastic through the center hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these beads, simply thread your chosen pole elastic through the center of the bead before securing it to your puller bung knot. Ensure the knot is fully seated inside the concave portion of the bead to maintain a low profile. These beads are explicitly compatible with MAP Side Puller Bushes and Puller Bungs. To care for these components, rinse them with fresh water after each session to remove groundbait or silt, and inspect the bead for any signs of wear or hairline cracks before every outing to ensure the integrity of your elastic system.
