Is there a glue that I can use on Sinking Rig Tube and Leadfree leaders so that the bottom bead can no longer slide towards the lead, I have already used different beads/Heli beads but after a while they all slide down

Carpwhisperer has a different solution for this, but then you have an extra interruption, maby use the Thinking Anglers Small Oval Clip so i always can remove the entire lead piece when
i'm done fishing

Kryston used to do a rubber rig glue

But whats your intention for having the bottom bead fixed in the first place?

How far do you want your bottom bead away from the lead?

Not glue but in the past when I had problems with the bottom bead slipping on the cast I'd add a small section of shrink tube to the tube/leadcore and slide the bead on top. You can use several pieces of shrink tube on top of each other to increase the resistance to what you want.

Around 20cm seems enough to me

if it slides down the carp has a chance to use the lead to loosen the rig by shaking its head

Youd be better off with something physical there than glue then surely, like a bit of 4mm tube? Didnt nash do something like this for chod rigs?

Is it actually okay to make a knot in a leadcore free leader?

I have fastened leadcore to the clips that hold the lead with a 3 turn grinner in the past with no problems, just blob the end for a bit of security. Tie one and try it
Are you sure?
