Notice the popular sizes for these seem to be 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm.
Can any one tell me which size swivels fit into each bead size please?

You can use them to close a qc swivel which allows changing hook lengths quickly where you want a stiff loop to have free movement in the swivel ie stiff D rig. You can't do this with an anti tangle tube. Just push a 6mm soft bead down the loop, put the loop in the QC swivel and push the bead up to close the open eye. Hook link is secure and won't slip out or off.

Oh rite. Seen a larger hole one side than the other. Thought it was for pushing over a swivel eye

It is but just a buffer bead to be honest, I usually use 2 rubber beads on my pike ledger rigs, it creates more separation and more of a buffer on a big chuck

No, that's just where it's a bit wider to accommodate the knot

You could buy some Helicopter Rig Sleeves (ESP) , cut the down a bit, and slide over your swivel.
