Improve Your Bait Presentation & Catch More Fish
The INOVA Pop Up Beads are highly buoyant fishing beads designed to lift your bait off the seabed, improving visibility and reducing bait loss from crabs and bottom debris.
Ideal for surfcasting and beach fishing in New Zealand, these floating beads create a more natural, “wafting” bait presentation that attracts more strikes.
Why Use Pop Up Beads?
- Ultra buoyant design lifts bait off the bottom
- Protects bait from crabs and pickers
- Creates natural movement in current
- Improves visibility in murky water
- Increases hook-up rates
By suspending your bait slightly above the seabed, it becomes easier for fish to see and strike — especially in surfcasting conditions.
Perfect for New Zealand Surfcasting
These fishing beads are ideal when targeting:
- Snapper
- Kahawai
- Gurnard
- Trevally
Best used in:
- Surfcasting rigs
- Paternoster rigs
- Beach and estuary fishing setups
They’re especially effective on sandy beaches where crabs and current can bury or destroy bait.
How to Use Pop Up Beads
- Thread onto your hook trace (snood) above the hook
- Use 1–3 beads depending on bait size
- Adjust placement to control how high the bait floats
Using more beads increases lift, allowing a fully “popped up” bait presentation in the water column.
