Product Information
Full details
The Preston Innovations Barbed Bayonets are essential terminal tackle components designed for anglers who need a quick and secure method to hair-rig various hookbaits such as pellets, boilies, and bandums. Ideal for both commercial and specimen anglers, these bayonets provide the confidence that bait will remain attached during powerful casts, though they require careful handling due to their extremely sharp, barbed points.

FAQs
Can these be used with soft pellets?
Yes, but ensure they are firm enough that the barb can grip the internal structure of the pellet.
What is the maximum size bait these can hold?
They are designed to work optimally with baits up to 10ml in size.
Are these reusable?
Yes, provided the bayonet remains straight and the barb is not damaged, you can reuse them across multiple sessions.
How many come in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 individual barbed bayonets.
Will these rust in saltwater?
While they are high-quality, it is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after use to prolong their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Bait sliding off the bayonet
Ensure the bait is pushed far enough onto the bayonet so that the barb has fully penetrated the core of the bait.
Difficulty pushing the bayonet into bait
If the bait is unusually hard, use a bait drill to create a pilot hole before inserting the bayonet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick and efficient bait changes
- Extremely secure grip on hookbaits
- Suitable for a wide range of bait sizes and types
- Durable design withstands repeated casting forces
Cons
- Requires careful storage to prevent skin pricks
- Not suitable for extremely delicate or fragile paste baits
- Requires a specific knot type for optimal presentation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, thread your rig line through the large eye of the bayonet and secure it with a reliable knot such as the grinner or blood knot. Ensure the bayonet is positioned so that the hair is the appropriate length for your target species. When working with extremely hard hookbaits, ensure you are pushing straight down along the axis of the bayonet to prevent unnecessary stress on the wire. After each session, rinse the bayonets with fresh water if used in saltwater or silty environments to prevent corrosion. Store them in an organized tackle box or a small container to protect the sharp points and keep them separated from other line-damaging equipment.
