NASH Soft Taper Bore Bead

Product Benefits

Nash Soft Taper Bore Beads are rig beads for carp fishing specifically designed to offer great versatility across all your modern rigs. Thanks to their soft tapered bore, they slide easily along mainline, hooklinks, coated leaders or anti-tangle tubing, while providing excellent hold once positioned. This combination of controlled mobility and secure grip makes them an essential accessory for many technical rigs.

By protecting knots and swivels from repeated impacts against leads or harder beads, these soft beads help extend the life of your rigs. They act as a genuine buffer between the lead, the swivel and the hooklink, reducing the risk of weakness at critical connection points. This results in more reliable rigs capable of withstanding powerful fights with trophy carp.

These beads are also designed to make it easier to create sliding rigs and anti-eject rigs. They allow you to block or slow sliding elements such as swivels, rig rings or adjustable hair rigs, optimizing the mechanical function of your presentations. Whether fishing at short range on a pond or casting long distances on a lake, the Soft Taper Bore Bead integrates easily into your usual setups.

Advantages and Key Strengths

One of the main advantages of these beads is their versatility across a wide range of rigs. Whether you want to build a running rig, control the travel of a marker float or perfect an anti-eject setup, the tapered bore lets you adjust position and clamping force simply by choosing the support (mainline, leader, tubing) and calibrating tension. This gives you a single accessory for many configurations.

Their controlled softness is also a major asset. Unlike overly rigid beads that can mark or weaken knots, the Soft Taper Bore Bead acts as a protective buffer between critical rig elements. This ability to preserve line integrity while maintaining excellent hold improves the overall strength of your rigs and limits the risk of unexpected break-offs during the most violent runs.

Finally, their compact and discreet format helps make your presentations more natural. By combining these beads with your usual leaders and tubing, you achieve technical yet discreet carp rigs suited to the wariest fish. This discretion, combined with strong mechanical reliability, makes them a top choice for demanding carp anglers.

Usage Tips

To get the best from Nash Soft Taper Bore Bead, it is recommended to thread them onto your mainline, hooklink, coated leader or anti-tangle tubing before assembling the rest of the rig. Slide the bead to the position where it should act as a stop or protection, then complete your rig with the swivel, lead or corresponding float.

In a sliding carp rig, the bead can serve as a soft stop against a swivel to limit the travel of a lead or marker float. On an anti-eject rig, it can block the position of a rig ring or hook swivel to control how the hook pivots in the fish’s mouth. Check regularly that the bead maintains good grip on the chosen support, especially after repeated casts or fights.

To extend the life of your beads, avoid unnecessary exposure to excessive heat or aggressive chemicals. Store them preferably in a small box or dedicated compartment with your other carp rig accessories so they are easy to find during sessions.
