Coarse Rig Bits

Coarse rig bits are the small components that make a float, feeder or pole rig work: stops, beads, bait bands, feeder links and booms, float silicone, connectors, elastic bungs and quick-change beads. Every listing shows the lowest in-stock price we have found and the shops we track.

Feeder links and quick-change beads let a feeder or hooklength be swapped without retying. Stops and bands hold baits and floats in place, and silicone, connectors and bungs are the pole and float fittings.

Most rig bits are sold in packs and in a few sizes or colours.

Stops, Beads, Bands and Links

Line stops and float stops fix a float or feeder position on the line. Quick-change beads and feeder links connect hooklengths and feeders so they can be changed in seconds.

Bait bands, meat stops and bait spikes hold pellets, meat and hard baits on a hair.

Pole and Float Fittings

Float silicone, connectors, dacron connectors, bungs and bushes are the small fittings for pole floats and elastics. Sizes must match the float stem or the elastic grade.

For the poles these fittings go with, see the best fishing poles guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are quick-change beads for?

They hold a hooklength or feeder by its loop so it can be swapped without retying. Sizes suit different line strengths.

Which float silicone size do I need?

It should match the float stem diameter. Packs usually carry two or three diameters for different floats.

What does a feeder link do?

It connects the feeder to the main line, letting it swing or run freely. Stiff and gum versions suit different feeders and distances.

Are rig bits sold in packs?

Yes, nearly always. The pack count and the size or colour options are shown on the retailer page.
