Find that using these avoids the fiddly process of using a hair stop - just push the 'bullet' through the bait (with a pellet just drill) and turn - et voila. Any one know whether these are still around and if so where can I get some? Cheers Bob

I found them very convenient and easy to use - shame they appear to be no longer available. Cheers Bob

The Nash ones I have remembered were called "hair beads".
