ICS In-line 360 Beads – 360° Beads (6 pieces)

Preston ICS In-Line 360 Beads

The Preston ICS In-Line 360 Beads form the connection between an ICS stem and your hooklength, while allowing the hook bait complete freedom of movement. The hooklength can rotate around the bead, reducing restrictions on the presentation and allowing the rig to behave more naturally when a fish takes the bait.

The bead fits directly into an ICS stem and can move freely off the stem in the event of a line break. This contributes to a fish-friendly rig. The strong, robust construction is designed for repeated use in method and feeder fishing. Combine the beads with a suitable Preston ICS Elasticated Stem Kit if you also want extra cushioning during the fight.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the 360-degree freedom of movement?

It allows the hooklength to rotate freely around the bead, so the hook bait is less restricted by the feeder stem. This provides a more natural presentation and helps reduce tangles.

Does this bead fit directly onto an ICS stem?

Yes. The bead is specifically designed to fit directly into a compatible Preston ICS stem.

Why is this a fish-friendly rig?

If the main line breaks unexpectedly, the bead can move freely off the stem. This means the fish does not have to continue swimming with the feeder attached to the hooklength.
