Lots of options from lots of sources, including your local tackle shop. It ain't rocket surgery. Pick whatever you like. https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/shop/lure-making-parts/fishing-lure-beads?page=1 I finally found the right sizes plastic beads to protect my rod tip guides. Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017 Verified Purchase I finally found the right sizes plastic beads. I bought the Brad's 10mm beads to use to protect my rod tip guides. What made me look for the beads is that my rod tip guides keep getting damaged from my sinkers jamming against them when I reel in my lines and not seeing my swivels. I fish in the dark and it is very hard to see when you are reaching the sinker and swivel. I like them so much that I bought another set just incase they get discontinued I'll have enough to last awhile.

Why would you need a1000Pak, it's not something you don't need to replace after each time you wind the Swivel up to the Bead. First I would measure the ID of your Rod Tip then this will tell you what Size Bead whether Round or Oval you have to step up to so that it won't slide through the Rod Tip. I does not matter whether you use a Hard Bead or a Soft Bead or Round or Oval. If you night fish I suggest using a Glow Bead such as these https://www.amazon.ca/Tigofly-Luminous-Plastic-Floating-Materials/dp/B09YLJRMMK/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_3_2/143-1172496-3503966?pd_rd_w=Oensh&content-id=amzn1.sym.c1849561-aea0-48eb-b576-ba648ed69471&pf_rd_p=c1849561-aea0-48eb-b576-ba648ed69471&pf_rd_r=QNF1Q2Q02DF1DXJW5P5G&pd_rd_wg=b8A8X&pd_rd_r=e17c2625-79e9-4ed7-86c9-bc9a5e1e93ec&pd_rd_i=B09YLJRMMK&psc=1 or https://www.amazon.ca/MonkeyJack-1000Pcs-Multi-color-Fishing-Suitable/dp/B075Q6MNWD/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_3_2/143-1172496-3503966?pd_rd_w=SEPIw&content-id=amzn1.sym.c1849561-aea0-48eb-b576-ba648ed69471&pf_rd_p=c1849561-aea0-48eb-b576-ba648ed69471&pf_rd_r=E6FYB9D5EHCM6JV71R74&pd_rd_wg=6njM4&pd_rd_r=0ad9c138-cbed-476c-aa4b-5ebf832560e4&pd_rd_i=B075Q6MNWD&psc=1 or these if you can get them in the right Size.

Or check these Links out: https://sportfishingbc.com/threads/plastic-bead-to-protect-rod-tip-eye.66855/ Plastic bead to protect rod tip eye https://www.thehulltruth.com/sportfishing-charters-forum/902107-protecting-rod-tips-swivels.html Protecting rod tips from swivels... https://fishingaddictiongear.com/products/trolling-beads-12-pk 12 packs of trolling beads. Available in size small and large. Use trolling beads to prevent the snap from being reeled into the rod tip. Reeling the snap into the rod tip can damage the ceramic guide and cause line wear and break offs. Also helps keep cottonwood, mayfly larva and weeds off the bill of your lure, keeping the action right. Trolling beads also help keep track of rods by referencing bead color. You can also reel the bead tight to the rod tip for easier rod storage. Use them as a stopper to tie off freshly calibrated trolling reels! This makes an easy way to tie off the tag end until the reel is put into service. Also use these beads on your main line when perch fishing or jigging to avoid reeling your snap or rig into the rod tip. If you want the benefits of the trolling bead without the color, we have a clear bead as well. Choose between Small or Large. Sold 12 per pack. Small Bead - Average Diameter of 15/64'' Just under 1/4'' average diameter, these smaller sized trolling beads will work with many trolling rods on the market. Check your rod tip size to confirm the diameter. This size works with all rods we stock/sell/use. Large Bead - Average diameter of 5/16'' A little larger than the small size trolling beads. These will work with rod tips that are too large for the small beads. Over the years we have found certain trolling rods to have oversized rod tips, which would allow the small size bead to slip through. These larger beads will work with the rods that the small beads will not. Check your rod tip size to confirm the diameter. The large size works well when calibrating extra reels. Tie on a bead and reel it to the line guide.

Good choice using the Sikaflex 291 on your exterior seams. You won't be disappointed and hope you get your boat leak problems solved. Per my above Reply Post when I used it for sealing my Keel, on a fishing excursion a few years ago out of Erieau, ON my Bilge was taking a long time to pump out rainwater. After lifting the Viny Skirt to the Transom area we find several gallons of water and taking in sum more at the top Port Side corner below the motorwell. We were about 2 miles out of Port and headed right back to the Marina. After tying up to the Dock with no more water coming in but still the Bilge wasn't pumping any. After feeling around the Bilge I found a part of a lure paper packaging that was stopping most of the Bilge suction. That problem solved. We headed back out into the Lake but kept an eye on the water that was coming in at the Transom corner which wasn't large amounts to be concerned about. After our day's fishing and checking out where water might be coming in you couldn't define what the problem was. The Princecraft Super Pros have a downward angled Gunwale to the Transom. All I did was Sikaflex the whole angled Gunwale outside lip hoping to stop the leak which it did. I imagine when the Boat was Manufactured there would of been some type of seal installed between the wide Gunwale and side of the boat and it failed. To be safe in case the Starboard side failed I also Sikaflexed it. No more water problems since. -
I own a '94 Princecraft 196 SuperPro. Over 15 years ago while the boat was on the trailer after a heavy rain I noticed water leaking near the Transom but dripping out the Keel. I called a couple of Boat Repair Shops in London, ON to see what they would suggest using to stop the leak. Their recommendation was Sikaflex-291. I found that most Marine Sales Stores carry it $10-$15CDN for a 10oz Cartridge. To be safe I sealed both sides of the Keel for the whole length of the boat. Here all these years later it has never leaked. A fantastic sealer for my purpose and the Price. NOTE: VERY THICK STUFF MAKE SURE ITS WARM BEFORE USE Sikaflex ® -291 is a 1-component marine grade polyurethane elastomeric adhesive and sealant. Used by many boat builders, its fast cure time makes it ideal for applications where speed is important. Areas of Application: General all-purpose sealant May be used for light duty bonding Advantages: Use above and below water line Resists salt water Fast strength build-up Stable Paintable Versatile packaging Excellent bond Fast tack-free time High solids content Sandable May be squeezed or brushed into place Excellent adhesion to gelcoat, fiberglass, metal and wood Sika Sikaflex 291 Polyurethane Marine Sealant White is a one component, moisture curing, elastic adhesive and sealant that is used for bonding boat building materials such as fiberglass, wood, metal, and gel coat.

The most popular plans for making up your own Dual Planer Boards posted on most Websites and shown in Fishing Magazines as linked below are the same plans and instructions. http://www.quintefishing.com/make_your_ ... boards.htm http://www.straitlineanglers.com/Articl ... Boards.htm I made up the same pair but the problem I have especially trolling for Walleye at slower speeds is that I find that they tend to drag about 45 Deg off of the corner of the boat rather than off the side of the boat. I also found plans for 1 x 8 dual planer boards. Great if your boat has lots of room. IDEA! Make up a removable 2-3 Bolt (to hold in place) Sailboat Keel shaped (same length as board) with 1/4 inch or less Aluminium plate either angled on nose same as boards or ground to a point on from both sides. You could space 2 or 3 Bolts (siliconed) around 2 Inches from bottom using Wing Nuts. You would have to experiment to see what works better in attaching (the Inside or Outer Board). I will be making this up myself this Spring. Has any fellow fisherman made up anything similar or can you add other ideas to get more pull.
