Originally designed for use with our Flying Backleads, where they sit above the leader knot and prevent the backlead from sliding all the way down to the lead. These soft rubber beads are also perfect for helicopter set-ups, including chod rigs, as they have a tapered bore which helps them to easily pass over leader knots. The beads are also great for use with a shocker rig, positioned between the lead and the backstop. They can also be used to protect knots and act as a buffer, as the tapered bore allows the knot to be located inside of the bead.
