Product Information
Full details
The Maver Quick Change Beads (J2014) are designed for anglers who prioritize efficiency and speed when switching terminal tackle. They are ideal for feeder and bomb fishing enthusiasts on both rivers and stillwaters, providing a reliable mechanism for instant hooklength changes while doubling as a shock bead for running rigs. While these beads are highly durable, users should ensure they are used with appropriate diameter lines to maintain the integrity of the locking mechanism.

FAQs
How many beads come in a pack?
Each pack of Maver Quick Change Beads contains 8 beads.
Can these be used with braid?
Yes, but ensure your knot size or the swivel used is compatible with the bead's internal diameter to avoid slippage.
Are these suitable for rivers?
Yes, their design is robust enough to handle the increased resistance found in river feeder fishing.
Do I need to tie knots every time I change my hook?
No, the primary benefit is the ability to swap pre-tied hooklengths instantly without re-tying to the main line.
What is the best way to clean them?
Rinse with fresh water after each trip and air dry before putting them back in your tackle box.
Troubleshooting
Hooklength keeps slipping out of the bead
Ensure the loop of your hooklength is not too thick. If it is, use a thinner diameter line or re-tie the loop to ensure it fits snugly into the bead's slot.
Bead is sliding too freely on the mainline
If the bead is intended to be a fixed point, place a small micro-swivel or a rubber stop bead on either side to restrict movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, thread your main line through the eye of the bead, then secure your rig with a standard stop knot or swivel. Slide the hooklength loop into the designated notch on the bead until it clicks into place. For maintenance, rinse the beads with fresh water after fishing in salt or brackish water to prevent residue buildup. Inspect the internal slot before every session to ensure no debris or grit has entered, which could compromise the grip. Store in a dry, cool place to preserve the integrity of the plastic materials.
