Beyond Fish Carp Beads

In carp fishing, beads are used in various rig setups for multiple purposes, such as protecting knots, buffering lead setups, or functioning as stoppers on rigs. Here are some of the main types of beads commonly used in carp fishing:

Shock Beads:In carp fishing, shock beads are small but crucial components used in various rig setups to protect the knots and rig components from the stress and shock of casting, and from the powerful runs of carp. Shock beads cushion the impact between the swivel and the lead, or between any two rig components that might collide during casting or when a fish takes the bait. This protects the knots and rig integrity, preventing damage that could lead to line breakage or loss of a fish

Buffer Beads: Buffer beads are primarily used to protect the knot connecting the main line or leader to the swivel or lead clip in various carp rig setups, such as safety lead clips and helicopter rigs.

Heli Beads: Heli beads, short for "helicopter beads," are a specific type of bead used in carp fishing, particularly in helicopter rig setups. The helicopter rig is a popular choice for fishing in weedy or silty lake beds, where it helps to prevent tangles and ensures the bait presents well above the debris.

Tungsten Beads: Heavier than standard rubber or plastic beads, tungsten beads are used to add extra weight to rigs, ensuring they stay pinned down on the bottom.
