INOVA Hi-Vis Duo Round Glow Beads – 8mm

Overview

The INOVA Hi-Vis Duo Round Glow Beads are soft, luminous attractor beads designed for sea-fishing bait rigs. Made in a round 8mm size, each pack contains 20 beads, and they're intended to be threaded onto the snood directly above the hook.

Unlike conventional hard rig beads, these are soft in construction, with the range described as Hi-Glow Soft Beads by retailers. The beads absorb UV light and then emit a glow, and current specialist retailers recommend exposing them to UV light for a short period before use to activate or intensify this effect.

The 8mm beads are available in a choice of striking colour combinations, including Green/Black, Red/Green, Blue/Clear/Glitter, Orange/Clear/Glitter, and an All Glow Green variant. Each variant has its own INOVA product code, and all are supplied 20 to a pack in this 8mm size.

Perfect For

These beads are best suited to sea-fishing bait rigs where extra visual attraction is wanted close to the hookbait, such as flapper rigs, scratching rigs, paternosters and flatfish rigs. They can be positioned immediately above worm, fish, shellfish or other appropriate sea-fishing baits as part of your rig setup.

The glow properties make them particularly relevant for night fishing, dawn and dusk sessions, coloured water, and other low-light or darker water conditions where extra visibility around the bait can help anglers present their rig more effectively. They are not species-specific, though shore species commonly targeted with bait rigs of this type include whiting, flounder and plaice.

Technical Insight

The soft construction of these beads is a deliberate departure from harder rig-building beads, contributing to a more natural presentation around the hookbait. Their round 8mm shape and UV-chargeable glow work together to create a visible, luminous point directly beside the bait once charged.

By positioning the bead on the snood above the hook rather than elsewhere on the rig body, the colour and glow sit immediately next to where the fish will encounter the bait, making the attractor effect as relevant as possible to the hookbait itself rather than general rig protection.
