INOVA K-NECT Pulley Bullet Beads6 Pack - 40kg/55kg

Overview

Overview

The INOVA K-NECT Pulley Bullet Bead is a sea fishing pulley component built with a streamlined, bullet-shaped body for anglers constructing their own rigs. Unlike the older INOVA Pulley Bead, this version uses a one-piece moulded construction rather than separate plastic sections, removing the risk of parts pulling apart under load.

Each bead incorporates a stainless steel swivel directly into the moulded body, giving a ready-made connection point for the lead assembly without any extra fiddly assembly. Both ends of the body feature a recessed, concave profile designed to seat a separate 3–4mm buffer bead, helping cushion contact between the pulley bead and adjacent knots.

The beads are supplied in packs of six and are available in two colour-coded sizes – Medium (orange) and Large (green) – so anglers can quickly tell them apart when building different rig setups.

Perfect For

These pulley beads are aimed at anglers building their own pulley rigs for UK shore fishing, particularly on rough or mixed ground where a lead can snag during retrieval. The source material specifically mentions bass fishing with substantial baits, bull huss fishing around suitable rocky marks, ray fishing from beaches and mixed ground, smoothhound fishing, and general rough-ground shore fishing.

The Medium (40kg/88lb) version suits rigs where a lighter-rated pulley component is appropriate, while the Large (55kg/120lb) version is intended for anglers who need a stronger-rated pulley bead within their rig assembly. The right choice depends on the complete rig specification rather than the target species alone.

Technical Insight

The one-piece moulded body is the standout engineering point here – by manufacturing the main body as a single unit rather than joining separate plastic sections, INOVA has removed a common failure point where multi-part pulley components can pull apart under strain from big baits or powerful fish.

The integrated stainless steel swivel means the pulley system can operate as intended straight out of the pack, with no separate swivel to thread on, while still offering useful corrosion resistance for saltwater use. In a correctly assembled pulley rig, the main rig body moves through this pulley component under tension, which can help lift the lead clear during retrieval when a fish is hooked, reducing the chance of the lead snagging on rough or mixed ground – though overall effectiveness still depends on the full rig, lead type and ground conditions.
