Product Information
Full details
The Avid Outline FleckTone Super Grip Hook Beads are essential terminal tackle components designed for anglers who prioritize secure hookbait presentation and underwater concealment. Ideal for carp fishing, these beads ensure your bait remains fixed firmly on the hook during the cast and retrieve, though they are specifically sized for hooks ranging from sizes 2 to 6, limiting their use with micro or oversized hooks.

FAQs
Can I use these with size 8 hooks?
No, these beads are specifically designed for hook sizes 2 through 6. They may be too loose on a size 8 hook.
How many beads come in a pack?
Each pack contains 30 hook beads.
Will the camouflage finish wear off?
The FleckTone pattern is designed to be durable, though extreme abrasion against rocky bottoms may cause minor cosmetic wear over time.
Are these beads reusable?
Yes, they are designed to be durable enough for multiple rig re-ties and sessions.
Do these affect the hook point?
When used correctly on the shank, they should not interfere with the hook point or impede hooking efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Bead sliding on the hook shank
Ensure the bead is being used on a hook within the size range of 2-6 and verify that the shank diameter is not thinner than standard specifications.
Difficult to slide onto the hook
Use a small amount of water or saliva to lubricate the hook point/shank before sliding the bead into position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip keeps baits secure on the hook
- Highly effective camouflaged finish for low-vis fishing
- Durable construction suitable for repeated use
- Generous 30-piece pack size
Cons
- Limited to hook sizes 2-6

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply slide the bead onto the hook shank before attaching your hookbait. Ensure the bead is positioned to hold the bait movement exactly where you need it for your chosen rig. These beads are exclusively compatible with hook sizes 2, 4, and 6. For maintenance, keep the beads in their original storage container to avoid loss, as their small size makes them easy to misplace. If they become covered in thick silt or lake debris, a quick rinse in clean water is usually sufficient to restore their camouflage effectiveness.
