Preston ICM In-Line Quick Change Bead

Description

The Preston Innovations ICM In-Line Quick Change Bead is a terminal component engineered for precision match and coarse anglers utilising the ultra-finesse InterChange Micro (ICM) system. Designed to fit perfectly inside any compatible Preston ICM feeder, cage, or cube, this bead creates a safe in-line setup that allows for quick and easy hooklength changes without re-tying rigs. This micro bead offers dual-purpose utility, functioning as an effective shock buffer and a fast quick-change hooklength connector. When seated within the internal nose cone housing of an ICM inline feeder, it establishes a sleek, safe semi-fixed inline bolt rig, providing critical self-hooking resistance when a fish takes the bait. The design is also compliant with fishery safety regulations; in the event of a mainline breakage, the bead easily pulls clear of the feeder body, preventing a fish from trailing a heavy weight. The ICM system was specifically developed for angling scenarios requiring minimal bait introduction and maximum stealth, making these beads ideal for tough winter leagues or clear, high-pressure commercial venues. They are suitable for targeting fish such as F1s, skimmers, bream, and carp.
