What are the little plastic beads on my cable for? Can I remove or move them?
Those are stopper beads, which trip the auto stop switch to stop the downrigger when retrieving on the auto function. They can be removed or placed in any position you choose, but always make sure there are stopper beads in place to prevent your terminal gear from hitting the pulley. Check stopper beads regularly to make sure they are holding their position on your cable and have not worn to the point that they slide.
