Buffer Beads

Our Buffer Beads are designed to provide superior protection and performance, particularly when used in conjunction with helicopter and chod rigs. These carefully crafted beads fully encase the lead loop and swivel, ensuring a secure, tangle-free setup that improves both presentation and fish safety.
 
One of the key benefits of our Buffer Beads is their ability to increase the distance between the swivel and the lead, which significantly reduces the risk of the hook point catching on the underside of the lead during retrieval. This helps to preserve the sharpness of your hook, ensuring it remains in prime condition for every cast. The extended buffer design is particularly advantageous when fishing with chod rigs, as it keeps the rig and lead further away from the fish’s mouth, ultimately leading to better hook holds and improved landing success.
 
A rounded, smooth profile eliminates tangles that can occur when traditional round beads or swivels allow the hooklink to wrap around them during casting. This reduces frustrating tangles, meaning you can spend more time fishing and less time resetting your rig.
 
Constructed from a robust, rubberized material, these beads also function as a shock-absorbing buffer, protecting the lead knot or leader from damage while playing and landing carp. Their 30mm length provides ample coverage and ensures they stay firmly in place throughout your session.
 
Whether you’re targeting wary carp in weedy conditions or refining your chod or helicopter rig setups, our Buffer Beads offer a reliable and effective solution for enhancing rig efficiency, reducing tangles, and increasing fish safety.
