NASH Tungsten Oval Bead

Product benefits

The NASH Tungsten Oval Bead is a oval tungsten bead specially designed for modern carp fishing rig setups. Thanks to its high density and highly grippy design, it stays securely in place on the line while allowing precise position adjustment. Ideal for demanding anglers, it provides a clean and discreet solution to control the presentation of your rigs without relying on bulky weighting.

These tungsten beads for carp fishing are mounted on a rigid support to facilitate installation and ensure excellent grip around the mainline or leader. They are particularly suitable for technical rigs such as chod rigs, pop-up presentations or sliding rigs, where every detail counts to fool the wariest fish.

• Precise positioning of the weight on the line.
• High density to effectively pin the rig to the lakebed.
• Excellent grip to prevent unintended movement.
• Quick and tidy setup, without adding paste or unnecessary tubing.
• Discreet solution to optimize presentation in carp fishing.

Technical specifications

Designed for heavy use, the NASH tungsten beads feature a structure developed to meet the needs of modern carp anglers. Their oval shape allows optimal contact with the line, while the tungsten material adds weight without increasing rig bulk.

• Material: high-density tungsten for effective and discreet weighting.
• Oval shape engineered for stable hold on the line.
• Beads pre-mounted on wire for simple and fast installation.
• High-friction surface to stay in place on nylon or fluorocarbon.
• Suitable for naked chod rigs, pop-up presentations and sliding rigs.
• Available variations to adjust weight and configuration according to conditions.

Advantages and highlights

Using tungsten beads for carp rigs offers many advantages over traditional stops. Concentrated weight close to the rig helps pin the line to the bottom, reduce the risk of detection by fish and stabilize buoyant presentations.

On a chod or pop-up rig, a judiciously positioned oval tungsten bead can counteract bait buoyancy, improve the hooklink angle and encourage a cleaner hook hold. Used as a stopper or buffer on a sliding or running rig, it effectively protects knots from repeated impacts against the clip or lead, extending the service life of your rigs.

Versatile, these beads can be integrated into most carp fishing setups whether you are targeting fish at short range, along margins or over distant shelves. They fit perfectly within a discreet, technical approach where every presentation detail contributes to triggering takes.

Usage advice

To get the most from your NASH tungsten beads, first slide them gently along the mainline or leader to the desired position. On a naked chod rig, place a bead upstream and optionally another downstream of the stiff hooklink to precisely define the bait’s movement zone. Adjust spacing according to bottom type and snag level.

On a pop-up rig, use the bead as a counterweight to achieve perfectly balanced flotation: the bait should sit or lift just enough to remain natural while staying close to the bottom. On sliding or running rigs, position the bead as a bumper in front of the lead or clip to cushion impacts and protect critical knots.

Consider wetting the line slightly before moving the beads to reduce friction and preserve nylon or fluorocarbon. Check bead condition and hold regularly, especially after a fight, to maintain an impeccable presentation for every cast.

Testimonials

"Since I started using NASH tungsten beads, my rigs stay perfectly in place even after several consecutive casts. The presentation is cleaner and I've noticed a clear increase in bites."

"Perfect for my chod and pop-up rigs: tungsten density pins the line to the bottom without visually weighing down the rig. A small accessory that makes a big difference on heavily fished waters."

FAQ

Question 1: Are these beads suitable for naked chod rigs?

Answer: Yes, their strong grip and density make them an excellent choice for trapping carp with adjustable naked chod rigs on the mainline.

Question 2: Can I use these beads with different line diameters?

Answer: They are designed to accommodate a wide range of mainline and leader diameters, whether nylon or fluorocarbon, while maintaining good hold.

Question 3: Do they require special maintenance?

Answer: A simple rinse in fresh water after the session and air drying is sufficient. Regularly check bead condition and replace any showing wear to ensure maximum safety of your rigs.
