Product Information

Full details

The Korda High Grip Hook Bead (Large) is designed for anglers using heavier gauge or larger hook patterns (size 1 and 2) who need a secure way to attach larger hook baits at long range. Its key benefit is its superior grip on the hook shank, preventing slippage. A minor caveat is that its larger core may not be suitable for very fine wire hooks.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on hook shank prevents bait slippage, especially at long range.
  • Generous core size fits larger, heavier gauge hooks effectively.
  • Tapered design minimizes bulk while maximizing security.
  • Suitable for a range of rig presentations with large swivels.
  • Subtle color enhances camouflage.
  • Comes in a pack of 20, offering good value.

Cons

  • Not ideal for very fine wire or small hook patterns.
  • The 'Large' size might be too big for certain rig constructions.
  • Requires a specific swivel size (Large Micro Ring Swivel) for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate size hook (e.g., size 1 or 2).
  2. Slide the Korda High Grip Hook Bead (Large) onto the hook shank.
  3. Position a Large Micro Ring Swivel or a suitable bait screw swivel against the bead.
  4. Gently push the bead down the hook shank until it firmly traps the swivel.

Compatibility:

  • Hooks: Best suited for heavier gauge hooks in sizes 1 and 2. The larger core diameter allows it to slide over these hooks with ease.
  • Swivels: Designed to trap a Large Micro Ring Swivel or a comparable large bait screw swivel.
  • Baits: Ideal for use with larger hook baits that may require a more robust mounting system.

Care:

  • Store the beads in their original packaging or a small rig component box.
  • Keep away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
  • Clean with a soft, dry cloth if any dirt accumulates.
