Just the normal ones, I think? Suppose the X grip would be even better.

Is that the normal ones or X Grip from TA?

They work exceptionally but I dont like sticking a nice fresh sharp hook into that hard rigid plastic.
Thinking anglers ones are good and stay put.

FFS avoid the AVID ones got 3 packs and started dropping fish straightaway
They need to be doubled up
Stick to Korda or ESP but i had trouble finding those..

If the ESP ones are doing what you want them to do then went do you need anything else?

I got a load of cheap ones, ok if you put it in a bag but they will slip too easily if you cast it and it hits the water! As for long chucks, forget it!!!
For long chucks I've tried doubling the cheapo ones but not confident, so either use esp, or use a multi rig/slip D.

Get any cheap ones from eBay and use two per hook.

EBay. Can get 100-1000 for dirt cheap. The same as most branded stuff.

I've found the bank tackle ones okay. Quite small and a bit fiddly but certainly tight enough and good vfm

ESP, Thinking Anglers and Korda are all good

Hirisi ? - Ali-express, bought two types..a quid for 50/100 why not?
One is virtually the same as Gardner Covert stops
And the other a generic soft rubber stop- a bit small but no problem getting them onto a size 4 Partridge F9.
Same source for #20 swivels..99p for 25

Hate to say it but the OMC long distance hook beads are the nuts.

Not a Korda fan, but theirs hold well 👍

The Korda high grip ones are good.

I've used Thinking anglers hook beads with no problems .

Morning all.
Currently using the esp hook bead/sleeve. Grips well and don’t really move.
Is there any others out there that really do grip well and don’t move ???
