Be careful though, haven't used the Korda large ones but have used the Nash large ones and they're massive. Ended up cutting them down!! I now use the Thinking Angler ones, they only come in one size, have a hole through them so they aren't fiddly to put on, and most importantly never move on the cast. And only £3 for 40.

The two bead sizes Korda do are based on the gauge of the hook (thickness of the metal) not the actual size of the hook.
So...

Wide Gape X = Large beads

Wide Gape = Medium

So basically unless you are using any of the X patterns, just use the medium for everything.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
