Never used a ronnie rig before,but we're off to France in September and I believe that's the best rig to use where we're going.Anyway I'm currently on a UK water testing them out,problem I'm having is when I retrieve my rig the hook bead is coming back on the bend of the hook.Not sure what make these beads are,but any recommendations for beads?

Search for hook beads, and also tick the rigs option 😎

Try a slip D instead, added separation too.

How do you not know what bead is it? My advice is make your own rigs. And know what components you are using. I use korda high grip beads, never seen one slip. Just need to be careful putting it on making sure point goes through correctly and doesnt pierce too early.
Are you sure?
