Avid Outline Tungsten Naked Heli Beads

The Avid Outline Tungsten Naked Heli Beads are purpose-built for creating safe, streamlined helicopter rigs when fishing with leadcore or lead-free leaders. Designed with both performance and fish safety in mind, these components ensure a clean presentation while maintaining reliable rig mechanics in all situations.

Each set includes tungsten tapered sleeves and matching beads, adding subtle weight to help keep your setup pinned down and discreet on the lakebed. The streamlined design reduces resistance during the cast and allows your rig to settle naturally, making it ideal for a wide range of carp fishing scenarios.

Supplied on a bespoke sprue with reinforced metal wires, these beads are easy to thread onto your leader without damage or hassle—saving time during setup and ensuring consistency every time.

For maximum fish safety, the system is designed so the bead can pass over the tapered sleeve under pressure in the event of a cut-off. Simply moisten the bead before sliding it into position to ensure smooth movement when required. Always pair with a swivel that can pass freely over the tapered sleeve to maintain a fully safe setup.

Finished in Avid’s subtle, low-visibility tones, these components blend seamlessly into the lakebed for improved concealment in pressured waters.
