As per, what do you find to be the best 'top bead' for naked heli? I've tried the thinking anglers but they come off far too easily, usually when putting them on. The nash sinker with the korda safety beads, but they slide up in the cast even when the clip is hit and feathered down. Fishing standard .35/.38mm mono.

Fox tungsten beads and line stops work well for me. Pretty solid with small pva bags hooked on. They do move over time though so the line stop needs replacing every now and then

I use the bank tackle large sinkers and tungsten beads kits they do they do the job fine when I'm fishing helicopter setup on naked mainline

I use the fox ones, I have used the bank tackle ones in the past as well, both do the same job just as well imo. Similar price as well. The reason i use the fox ones i just like the taper one end and the tungsten bead fits snug on the other end plus my local tackle shop sells em.
Are you sure?
