Function and Use:
The main purpose of a floating bead in sea fishing is to give the bait lift and act as an attractor:
- Bait Lift/Presentation: They provide buoyancy to lift the hook bait (like a worm or small fish section) slightly off the seabed. This is crucial for:
- Presenting the bait naturally in the current.
- Keeping the bait above small bottom-dwelling fish or debris.
- Getting the bait out of the immediate reach of nuisance species like crabs, which can quickly steal bait lying directly on the sand.
- Attraction: The bright or fluorescent colours are intended to act as a visual attractant to draw in target species such as Plaice, Flounder, Dabs, and Turbot.
- Target Species: They are highly effective on flatfish rigs but can also be used to suspend baits for species that feed slightly off the bottom, like Whiting or Bream.
