Ive used/experimented with booby beads quite a bit -boat fishing on the Essex coast ( not a million miles from you) and to be honest-it really seemed to make no difference. I fished several rods-some with them and others without-and the catch rate was equally balanced.
I guess if you already have some-you might as well use them-they are unlikely to do any harm-but I wouldnt bother buying any more.
