i know this has been done a few times in the past but with no definitive answers.
Has any one found an alternative that works with the 'No trace' beads as I now have loads of them but am reluctant to buy another whole kit just to get the sleeves the beads sit on, maybe a sinker works?

Iv managed it by putting a tiny bit of putty on the line then putting shrink tube over the top and shrinking it down, seems to work OK.

That sounds like a crafty idea, bit of a faff though to be honest, I'm sure someone must know of a sinker that's available that does the job or is everyone just buying the 3 packs every time

drennan float stop with a 5mm bead works or just a larger version of the stop, line breaks and it pulls straight off.
only need 1 bead then

I think fox do a tapered tungsten sinker that will take the no trace beads

No, they are too small, to be honest they are rubbish as well not one of Bank Tackle's finest moments for sure, just like rock hard bits of rubber
However the Fox Tapered Mainline Sinkers/Stoppers look like they will be spot on, haven't tried them on the line yet but the bead sits nicely on sinker out of the packet so should work.

They are a bit too small, they just about work if you squash the no trace bead a bit...

You might be right there, the Korda Large Sinkers look like a better fit, still not tried them on the line though

Korda medium sinkers matched with Korda 4mm beads. Perfect for top beads on a naked heli
