Rik - I only use two beads, one either side of the swivel. i used a bead with an oversize(like 3 or 4 mm)hole where you've got the 5mm and put a blob of pva string behind it to stop it slipping just to make sure the knot went thru the bead. i still worry about weed collecting on the knot/in the limpet loop, but its better than 30 or 40 yds of line. thats mainly why i use a nylon leader with braid, not so much the shock absorbtion, more the fact the leader will break before the braid, so at most its 20ft(which is still too much). when testing rigs "fallapartability" you have to pull from all angles, with the line tight and slack before deciding(thats not aimed at you rik!)
shouldn't we also use weaker hooklengths than the mainline to ensure they're not towing line??
