NASH Hook Beads

Product benefits

The NASH Hook Beads are small conical beads specifically designed to hold rings and swivels in place on the hook shank. Essential for modern carp rig setups, they allow precise positioning of sliding hair rigs, D-rings or micro swivels to optimize the hooking angle and reinforce the anti-ejection effect of your presentations.

Thanks to their tapered Diffusion Camouflage design, these hook stopper beads blend discreetly with the lakebed and won't reveal your rig. Their soft material offers excellent grip on the shank without damaging it, while remaining elastic enough to be adjusted or repositioned depending on the fishing situation.

Whether you're fishing on hard, cluttered or marginal bottoms, the NASH Hook Beads help you achieve a more aggressive and stable rig. They are a simple yet essential accessory for any carp angler looking to refine their technical rigs without complicating the line.

Advantages and key features

The main advantage of the NASH Hook Beads lies in the fine adjustment they offer. By simply changing their position on the shank or the bend of the hook, you control the bait's freedom of movement, the hook's tipping speed and the targeted hooking zone. This micro-adjustability translates into more effective rigs and crisper hook holds.

Another major asset is their discretion. The chosen color reduces contrasts and contributes to the natural presentation of the bait, a crucial aspect on heavily fished waters or with wary fish. Robustness, camouflage and ease of use make them a technical yet accessible accessory, ideal for improving the effectiveness of any carp rig.

Usage tips

To get the most out of these NASH Hook Beads, gently pierce the bead with a fine boilie needle or the tip of your hook, then slide it to the desired position on the shank. Place it closer to the eye to limit the swing of the ring or hair, or nearer the bend to promote a more aggressive hook tipping action.

On a blow-back rig, position the Hook Bead to guide the movement of the bait-carrying ring, and adjust it at the edge of the ring to find the ideal compromise between freedom of movement and control. Check the condition of the beads regularly after fights and replace them if they show signs of wear to maintain reliable, consistent rigs.
