This design feature ensures that the High Grip Hook Bead will not slip when using large hook baits at long range. The slick tapered shape of the bead allows it to remain as small as possible whilst maintaining its grip strength. The Medium size is designed to trap a Medium Micro Ring Swivel (or Medium) Bait Screw Swivel) on the hook shank for a variety of rig presentation. The Large High Grip Hook Bead is ideal for those who use heavier gauge hooks or bigger patterns such as size 1 and 2. The larger diameter core will slide over these bigger, heavier hooks with ease and trap a Large Micro Ring Swivel in place. Come in packs of 20 and in a subtle transparent green colour.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the High Grip Hook Bead?
The primary advantage is its increased surface area, which creates a very secure, non-slip grip on the hook shank, essential for preventing bait movement during long casts.
Which hook sizes is the Large High Grip Hook Bead designed for?
It is specifically designed for larger gauge hooks, typically size 1 and size 2.
What type of swivel should I use with the Large High Grip Hook Bead?
The bead is optimized for trapping a Large Micro Ring Swivel. Other large bait screw swivels may also work.
Can I use this bead on smaller hooks?
While it might be possible on some larger fine-wire hooks, it is primarily intended for heavier gauge hooks. For smaller hooks, the 'Medium' size variant is recommended.
How many hook beads are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 Korda High Grip Hook Beads.
What color is the hook bead?
The hook bead is a subtle, transparent green color.
Will this bead help with bait presentation at range?
Yes, by securely holding the swivel and preventing movement, it helps maintain consistent rig and bait presentation even after long casts.
Troubleshooting
Bead does not grip the swivel securely.
Ensure you are using a 'Large' Micro Ring Swivel or a compatible swivel of similar dimensions. The bead is specifically sized for these larger swivels.
Bead is difficult to slide onto the hook shank.
This bead is designed for larger gauge hooks (size 1 and 2). If using a smaller hook, consider the 'Medium' size variant. Ensure no debris is on the hook shank.
Bead slips after being trapped on the shank.
Ensure the bead is pushed firmly down the shank to create tension against the swivel. Check that the hook shank is clean and dry before assembly.
