Full details
The Fox Edges Tungsten Line Guard Beads are essential terminal tackle components designed for carp anglers who utilize naked main line setups. These beads provide a reliable buffer to protect your line during high-tension fights, ensuring your swivel remains secure while keeping your rig pinned firmly to the lakebed for maximum concealment. While they offer excellent performance and durability, they are specifically optimized for use with specific lead arrangements and require careful placement to function correctly during a take.

FAQs
Can I use these with leadcore or tubing?
No, these are specifically designed for use directly on naked main lines.
How many beads are in a packet?
Each packet contains 8 Tungsten Line Guard Beads.
Are they easy to thread onto the line?
Yes, each bead comes pre-mounted on a wire loop for fast and easy transfer onto your main line.
Why use tungsten for these beads?
Tungsten is a heavy, dense material that helps keep your line pinned to the lakebed for better camouflage.
Can I reuse these beads?
Yes, they can be reused if they are not damaged or deformed from heavy use.
Troubleshooting
Bead slides too easily on the main line.
Ensure your main line diameter is compatible; if the line is very thin, a small dab of fishing glue or an extra stop knot may be necessary for security.
Swivel does not sit flush against the bead.
Check that you are using a compatible swivel size and ensure the bead is not obstructed by debris or dirt.

- Protects main line from damage during heavy-duty fish playing
- Easy to thread onto line using the included wire loops

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, thread your naked main line through the wire loop provided. Pull the bead onto your main line, ensuring it sits firmly at your desired position for the rig. If you are using this with a helicopter setup, ensure your Heli Buffer Sleeve is positioned below the bead to allow for smooth sliding.
For care, periodically inspect the beads after heavy sessions, especially if you have been fishing over abrasive lakebeds or snaggy terrain. If a bead shows signs of deep scoring or degradation, replace it to maintain optimal line protection. Always check your knots and main line integrity when re-threading new beads.
