Sorry for late reply Chuffy
I think they worked for me because I used them on leadless leader not naked So that would have made them slightly thinker and I possibly nipped the bead, apologies for the vagueness but it was awhile ago

Following this......
Why korda can't just sell the correct size item separately is beyond me, obviously beyond korda too....

Indeed but it's cynicism like that that makes me cynical the next time I come to buy a korda product.
Given a choice korda are always my last resort......

They're 2 quid a rod and unleas you crack off they'll last a season. I don't think it's a massive deal tbh? It's part of the business end, the last thing you want to be skimping on imo. Save the money on the big stuff (bivvy etc), not the little bits that catch you the fish.
The time it's taken me to write this is worth more than the couple of pounds to be saved on this kind of product.

Some people change their rigs (believe it or not), and are unable to keep them on their lines.
They should be made available seperate. It's not like Korda are struggling.
I do like many Korda products and get a bit fed up with the Korda bashing, but in this example it's disappointing, and they deserve the flak.
Fact of the matter it's greed \ profit making.
Danny Fairbrass is constantly saying these items should be mandatory, yet he's contradicting himself by bending people over in this example.
They could easily make these items available seperately without buying the whole kit and ripping people off.
Disappointing.

If you wet them and slide them off you can mount them onto a needle
Feed a bit of line through the eye of the needle and slide them onto the doubled over line
The key is plenty of spit or water so they don't stretch and turn inside out And a small needle

Yup, the beads are no problem,just pull them off, re use.
Not like they'll lose out much if they were to make the Chod Sleeve available to buy seperate, especially now with so many sheep using Spinner rigs.
Sort it out, Danny.
