Product Information
Full details
The Evolve Tackle Hook Beads (EVO085) are essential components for anglers who specialize in sliding hook bait presentations, offering a secure yet unobtrusive way to manage micro swivels, bait screws, and rig rings. Designed for carp and specialist fishing, these beads provide maximum bait movement while maintaining a firm grip on the hook shank, though users should ensure they are positioned correctly to avoid impeding the hook's gape during a strike.

Can I reuse these hook beads?

Will these fit on small size 10 hooks?
Yes, they are compatible with all hook sizes due to their flexible and compact design.
Are these beads transparent or colored?
They are designed to be subtle and blend in with the environment, maintaining a discreet profile under water.
Are these suitable for braided hooklinks?

Troubleshooting
Bead sliding down the hook shank during a cast
Ensure the hook shank is completely dry and free from any residue before applying the bead. If the problem persists, the bead may be worn and require replacement.
Rig components getting stuck against the bead
Check that you are using the correct size swivel or rig ring. Ensure the bead is not pushed too close to the hook eye, which might restrict movement.
