Inline Olivettes – Inline Olive Weights

Cresta Inline Olivettes are precisely calibrated olive-shaped weights for compact shotting of pole fishing and float rigs. The line runs through the soft silicone inner tube, preventing the metal from coming into direct contact with the nylon line and providing better protection for the supporting split shot.

Stable teardrop shape with a low centre of gravity

The teardrop shape places the centre of gravity at the bottom. This gives the rig extra stability and helps keep the bait presentation under control. Cresta recommends securing the olivette between two small split shot so that it stays in place and the rig is less likely to tangle.

Frequently asked questions

How does the line run through the olivette?
The main line is threaded through the soft silicone inner tube, so it does not rub directly against the lead.

How do I secure an Inline Olivette?
Place a small split shot on either side of the olivette. This keeps it in the chosen position and maintains a neat rig.

Why does the weight have a teardrop shape?
The lower centre of gravity gives the rig more stability and helps present the bait in a controlled way.

What weight do I need?
Match the weight to your float's carrying capacity and the amount of finer shot you still want to distribute below the olivette. Then select the appropriate version using the variant selector.
