Tri Beads Rigging Beads
Tri Beads are an essential rigging component for offshore trolling lures. These durable plastic beads space out hooks in Green Machine style lures, stiff rigs, and custom builds. Four colors in 50-count packs or a 900-piece bulk option.
- Space hooks in trolling lures and stiff rigs
- 4 colors: Red, Blue, Clear, Green
- 50 per pack or 900-piece bulk
- Durable plastic construction
The Small Component That Makes Your Rigs Work
Tri Beads do one job and do it well: they space your hooks at the right distance behind the lure head. In Green Machine style lures, 20-25 beads position the hook perfectly in the skirt tail. Without them, the hook sits too close to the head and you miss strikes.
At $2.99 for 50, they are practically disposable. The 900-piece bulk pack at $19.99 is the move if you rig a lot of lures or stiff rigs.

Hook Spacing Control
Thread beads onto the leader between the lure head and hook. Adjust the number of beads to set exact hook position within the skirt.
Four Color Options
Red, Blue, Clear, and Green match common lure skirt colors. Clear works with any color combination as a neutral spacer.
Bulk Pack Available
The 900-piece red bulk pack at $19.99 covers dozens of lure rigs. Stock up once and you are set for the season.
How to Use Tri Beads in a Trolling Rig
- Thread your leader through the lure head
- Slide Tri Beads onto the leader one at a time
- Count 20-25 beads for standard spacing
- Thread the hook onto the leader after the beads
- Crimp or tie the hook in place
- Test that the hook sits in the back third of the skirt
