Product Information

Full details

The Korum Smokescreen Quick Change Beads are an essential component for anglers who utilize feeder or bomb rigs on both rivers and stillwaters. Designed for convenience, these beads allow for near-instant hooklength swaps, ensuring you spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging. While they provide excellent utility and concealment in the water, users should ensure they match the bead size with their specific swivel or hooklength knot type for optimal performance.

FAQs

Can these be used with braid?

Yes, they are compatible with both monofilament and braided main lines.

Do I need a special tool to change the hooklength?

No, the design is completely manual and requires no specialized tools to operate.

Are they reusable?

Yes, provided the bead surface is not damaged, it can be reused multiple times.

What is the Smokescreen finish?

It is a specialized, mottled camouflage pattern designed to blend in with the substrate and make your rig less visible to cautious fish.

Are these suitable for river fishing?

Yes, their shock-absorbing properties make them excellent for the high-impact casting often required in river feeder fishing.

Troubleshooting

Hooklength loop keeps slipping off the bead

Ensure your hooklength knot is a tight, small loop; if the loop is too large, it may have enough slack to pull off the prong.

Bead feels difficult to slide on the main line

Check the central hole for any debris or leftover line fragments; use a thin wire to clear the bore if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces re-rigging time on the bank
  • Acts as an effective shock buffer for running rigs
  • Smokescreen finish improves presentation by masking tackle
  • Reliable and secure attachment for hooklinks

Cons

  • Requires proper knot tensioning to ensure the bead stays secure
  • Not suitable for very heavy-duty, oversized swivels
  • Requires re-stocking if line break occurs near the bead

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the beads, slide the main line through the central bore and tie off to your chosen swivel. When attaching your hooklength, ensure the loop knot is tight enough to remain secure on the quick-change prong but loose enough to be removed when needed. For maintenance, rinse the beads with fresh water after fishing, especially if used in salt or brackish water, to prevent buildup in the central bore. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from degrading over time. Always inspect the plastic surface for nicks or abrasions after catching larger fish, as surface damage can potentially weaken your main line.
