Get any cheap ones from eBay and use two per hook.

EBay. Can get 100-1000 for dirt cheap. The same as most branded stuff.

I've found the bank tackle ones okay. Quite small and a bit fiddly but certainly tight enough and good vfm

Hirisi ? - Ali-express, bought two types..a quid for 50/100 why not?
One is virtually the same as Gardner Covert stops
And the other a generic soft rubber stop- a bit small but no problem getting them onto a size 4 Partridge F9.
Same source for #20 swivels..99p for 25

Hate to say it but the OMC long distance hook beads are the nuts.

The Korda high grip ones are good.
