Thread: Favorite Bobber Stop?

Seems like scrap mono has a following.

This, of course, is market research. I'm getting low on stops that I include with my bobbers, and I found out that my supplier passed away in May. Many thanks to Jim Zanke, who owned Hook 'Um Tackle in Minny, and much respect for his memory. I don't know if his family is continuing his business, but it seems not from the online presence. I don't know that I can find string knots of such high quality anywhere else.

If you use a mono knot you can make it much smaller than the pre tied string type . This translates to hardly any feel as it goes through your rod guides, plus it grips much tighter.

Thanks for starting this thread it reminded me I needed to order more bobbers and stops...your Bobber Stops are the best string stops I've used...

I use those little rubber ones.....and I'll be using them for a while, my bride bought me a 1,000 pack for a stocking stuffer last Christmas.

Wow, that’s a bunch of stops... Hope you like them. Never seen a 1,000 pack.

That may be a 500 pack.....all I know is she bought them on amazon and may have bought multiples of it. I’ve given some to friends I fish with, maybe I should do a YouTube giveaway on them

When she knows I like something she buys lots, I wanted some Berkeley flicker shads a few years back and she came home with about 30. Told her I liked those Huk boxer briefs, she bought 7.

Yep, I’ll keep her!

Dental floss knot or a tiny rubber stop.
