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

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.
