Description

These are four times heavier than the rubber versions (the difference is really noticeable) while still remaining soft and flexible. The three matt colours of weedy green, camo brown and silt grey complement the different ESP leadcore colours perfectly. Designed to be mounted on leadcore on a short section of 0.5mm silicone tube which is supplied with the beads. This provides a safe set up where the bead can come off the silicone tube and pass over the leader knot in the event of a break-off, releasing the hook link. Each packet contains 20 beads and a length of 0.5mm silicone tube, available in weedy green, camo brown and silt grey.

Field Notes

Mount the tungsten loaded beads onto leadcore using the supplied short section of 0.5mm silicone tube. The beads add weight to help the leadcore/rig sink and, if a break-off occurs, the bead can slide off the silicone tube and pass over the leader knot to release the hook link safely.

Pros

  • Tungsten is much heavier than rubber versions for a noticeable weight increase
  • Soft and flexible while still adding mass
  • Break-off safety design using the silicone tube to release the hook link

Cons

  • Designed specifically for mounting on leadcore (not universal for other setups)
  • Requires correct silicone tube mounting to function as intended
