Primary Use in Fishing Rigs
The 4mm rig beads are a versatile and essential component used for a wide range of rig-making purposes. Their main functions are:
- Knot Protection/Buffer: They are placed on the main line or rig body next to knots (such as those tied to swivels, links, or crimps) to act as a protective buffer. This prevents the constant movement or knocking of other components from damaging the knot and weakening the line.
- Creating a Stop/Anchor: When used in conjunction with rig crimps or knots, they help to create a fixed stop on the rig body. This is crucial for:
- Trapping Swivels: Securing the swivel for a hook length (snood) in a fixed position on a multi-hook rig (like a paternoster or multi-hook flapper rig).
- Controlling Movement: Stopping sliding components (like a running ledger clip or pulley bead) from moving beyond a certain point.
- Attraction (Optional): When using brightly colored or Glow/Lumo beads, they serve as an attractor to draw the attention of fish to the bait, particularly in low light or murky conditions common in sea fishing.
In short, they are a fundamental piece of terminal tackle for any angler who builds their own fishing rigs.
