KORDA's High Grip Hook Bead is made with a larger surface area, meaning a large percentage of the bead comes into contact with the shank of the hook. This design feature ensures that the High Grip Hook Bead does not slip when using large hookbaits at long range. The smooth, tapered shape of the heel helps keep it as small as possible while maintaining its gripping power. The Medium size is designed to accommodate a MEDIUM Micro Ring Swivel (or MEDIUM Bait Screw Swivel) on the hook shank for a variety of rig presentations.
