Advantages and key points

The NASH tungsten bead stands out by combining protection, discretion and performance. Acting as a buffer between the lead and the knot, it reduces the risk of break-offs on the cast and premature wear of your line, even during repeated casting or strong fights. Thanks to its tungsten content, it contributes to a very discreet rig that conforms to the bottom profile, reducing suspicion from the most wary carp. Its thoughtful design ensures excellent hold on the leader while allowing quick assembly, making it ideal for both short sessions and long campaigns. Versatile, it easily integrates into a wide range of technical carp rigs, from simple setups to highly elaborate systems, quickly becoming an essential small-item in your tackle box.

Usage tips

To get the most from the Tungsten Shock Bead, simply slide it onto your leader or chosen material before fitting the lead or terminal part of the rig. Position it so that it sits against the knot you want to protect, creating a buffer zone that absorbs shocks during casting and fights. Adjust the distance between the bead and the lead according to the rig type—whether sliding or more fixed. Before each session, check the condition of your shock beads and replace them if they show wear to maintain maximum safety. Paired with other technical accessories like anti-tangle sleeves or tungsten tubing, it helps build reliable, tidy rigs that remain effective even under heavy fishing pressure.
