Hoping someone has come across a small hook bead that fits tightly on size 10 hooks?
I have tried the Bank Tackle ones which slip a bit, so looking for a smaller bead than them.

ESP grip stops are quite small and I think you can use them cut in halves if you want them even smaller. They grip really well too.

I use a cut down Korda medium sinker as they grip really well compared to the purpose made hook beads

Nash do a small hook bead that has no hole in it, you just pierce it with the hook so it's quite tight.
I have also used two normal hook beads back to back to give some extra grip and that works.

A stop knot with ESP power gum is good alternate and wont move if done right.

Korda ones are quitee small and should grip a size 10 ok, the esp ones are pretty tight on a size 6 not sure on a 10 but they are pretty slim.

I'll get slated for mentioning the company here 😂 but the one more cast distance beads are very good and don't seem to move at all

I also use the OMC ones and they never move, I even reuse them a few times when switching hooks and they still don't move
