Product Information
Full details
The Korum Smokescreen Turbo Beads are designed for anglers seeking advanced camouflage and efficient terminal tackle changes. They offer maximum concealment with a unique camouflage finish, and the Turbo Bead system allows for quick hooklink swaps. A potential consideration is the specialized nature of the quick-change clip, which may require a brief adjustment period for some users.

FAQs
How many Turbo Beads are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 Korum Smokescreen Turbo Beads.
Can I use these with braided hooklinks?
Yes, the quick-change clip is designed to accommodate most standard hooklink materials, including braid, fluorocarbon, and mono.
What is the main benefit of the Smokescreen finish?
The Smokescreen finish is a unique camouflage pattern designed to provide maximum concealment on the lake or river bed, making your tackle less visible to fish.
How does the Turbo Bead system work?
The Turbo Bead houses a metal quick-change clip. You attach your hooklink to this clip, allowing for very fast swaps of hooklinks without re-tying your rig.
Are these suitable for saltwater fishing?
These beads are primarily designed for freshwater coarse and carp fishing. While they might function in saltwater, prolonged exposure could affect the materials and finish. It's recommended to rinse thoroughly with freshwater after any saltwater use.
What size hooklinks are best suited for the clip?
The clip is designed to securely hold loops from standard hooklink materials. It's best to use loops that fit snugly within the clip when it is closed to ensure maximum security.
Troubleshooting
Hooklink detaches from the clip
Ensure the metal quick-change clip is fully closed after inserting the hooklink loop. Double-check that the hooklink loop is the correct size for the clip.
Difficulty changing hooklinks quickly
Practice the detachment and reattachment process a few times away from the water. Ensure your fingernails or a suitable tool are available to help open the clip if needed.
Bead does not sit correctly on the line
Verify that the correct diameter of main line is being used and that the Turbo Bead's internal diameter is suitable. Ensure no debris is obstructing the passage through the bead.
Camouflage finish is fading
This is normal wear and tear over time. Ensure the beads are dried properly after each use and stored out of direct sunlight to maximize the lifespan of the finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent camouflage for stealth fishing.
- Facilitates very quick hooklink changes.
- Secure and reliable connection once set up.
- Durable build quality for long-term use.
- Saves time during fishing sessions.
Cons
- May require a short learning curve for the quick-change mechanism.
- Specialized design might not be compatible with all existing terminal tackle setups.
- Limited to 10 beads per pack, potentially insufficient for extended trips.
- Camouflage pattern is specific and might be less effective in certain unusual environments.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Thread the main line through the Turbo Bead.
- Attach your desired hooklink to the integrated quick-change clip located inside the bead. Ensure the clip is fully closed to secure the loop of your hooklink.
- The bead will then sit neutrally on your main line, allowing for easy adjustment and quick changes.
Compatibility:
The Korum Smokescreen Turbo Beads are designed to work with most standard carp and coarse fishing setups. The quick-change clip is sized for common hooklink materials. While generally compatible, always check that your hooklink eye or loop fits securely within the clip before casting.
Care:
- After use, rinse the Turbo Beads under clean water to remove any mud, silt, or debris.
- Dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the camouflage finish and material integrity.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the finish and mechanism.
