Gardner Covert Tungsten Hinge Beads

Description

The Gardner Covert Tungsten Hinge Beads are weighted beads crafted from a tungsten polymer compound, engineered to enhance rig mechanics and simplify hook changes. Each bead measures 8mm x 4.8mm. These beads are specifically designed for use with size 12 QC or XT swivels. They slide down the hook section and onto the swivel, securing the hooklink firmly in place while creating a secondary hinge point at the base of the swivel. This design provides the hook section with additional movement, potentially increasing the effectiveness of your rig presentation. The internal features of the bead allow it to sit neatly over the top half of the swivel, maintaining a flush and tidy setup without hindering the essential rotational movement required for optimal rig performance. The Gardner Covert Tungsten Hinge Beads are ideal for a range of modern carp fishing presentations: - Hinged stiff rigs - Quick change chod rigs - Tweaked Ronnie rigs - Improving hook movement on QC style swivels, akin to a 360 rig Available in two weight options, Standard and Heavy, these beads cater to different bait buoyancy requirements. The 'Standard' hinge bead is suited for most shop-bought pop-ups when used with hooks sized 4, 5, or 6 on 2-3 inch hook sections. The 'Heavy' version is specifically made to counterbalance custom and high buoyancy hookbaits, such as cork-balled pop-ups or superior high buoyancy ready-made pop-ups. For precise fine-tuning of the sinking rate, the beads can be trimmed or supplemented with a small amount of tungsten putty. Each packet contains 8 Gardner Covert Tungsten Hinge Beads.
