When an Off Shore board is set up with a snap swivel on the back of the board, so it can release and slide down the line when a fish is hooked, a speedo bead is used to stop the board before it hits the fish. A barrel swivel or split shot can be used too.

Just finished the RCL and used speedo beads to keep the alge from getting to the lures. Placed the speedo bead about 3' ahead of the crank and it allowed me to fish longer before it fouled the lure. I have used them on the Mississippi also to keep weeds off the lures.
To find them, check www.biglakeoutfitters.com.
Off Shore Tackle is considering adding them to their product line for 2002.
