Your Favorite Line Stop for Bobbers?

The string is nearly impossible to put on wrong,that being said,you may not be pulling the tag ends firmly enough.word of caution,if after you pull the tag ends tight you cut them off too short,you will not have enough tag to tighten again should the knot loosen.

I like the string ones!

Guess I may not be pulling tight enough. Need to man up! Haha.

I just always thought the tag ends would catch on the guides, but sounds like if I pull tight that shouldn't matter. Thanks guys

before you pull on the strings to tighten, wet the string, then pull. makes a huge difference.

I tie my own string stops and use them with the plastic beads of various sizes. The string is 18lb Cortland catfish line. Fluorescent yellow in color. Works great. For about $5 I made enough ties to last me for many years.

I use the small oval rubber ones. Make sure you get the right sizes though - they are made for different lb test lines. The plastic ring they come on I use a magic marker to label them and then they go in the tackle bag.

string...I don't cut the tag ends after i tighten it down...it stays in place and can retighten if need be...can see it better..all stops get hung on a guide but the string goes through the guides better...I buy from the store...not enough time to fish much less make my own bobber stoppers...using wobble bobbers for slip corks because of the copper thingy inside the bobber...had trouble threading the mono through the bobber though.

Slip Lock Bobbers | Slip Bobber Fishing

I started using this guys stops and bobbers about 4 years ago. I haven't looked back since. Also use the sops as line markers on my ice rods. When deep water pan fishing the marker lets you know exactly how deep to fish.

No matter what you use though, and when first putting on, and if moving the stopper, don't forget to wet them, or they won't last as long.

I add a few extra knots to the string stoppers and don't cut the strings, they don't move easy.
