Floating beads, use them on snoods, put the line through the loops and pus the bead onto the snood, and pull the bottom part of the snood and they should be on

what size are the beads? if they are a good size then as said they are floating beads. but if they are small diameter and tight on the line are they not line/float stops?

Def floating beads, use them to make your bait lift off the bottom to increase presentation and keep it away from crabs

came across these type once before, think they came in some stuff lidl were doing......... came in a box with a load of stuff, mainly junk but it was cheaper than buying the exact same box on its own in a tackle shop......... but they were quite tight on the line, asa you say adam they were also a form of stop
