Your Favorite Line Stop for Bobbers?

[Dave and Lynn]

I have always used mono for my slip knots. I always go up a 2 pounds in weight of the line. 6lb line 8lb knot material. I tie 3 over hand knots and snug them down. This knot will not get hung up in the reel if you cut the tag ends short enough. They do wear out faster then the string ones do. Lots of good info here.

im with pappy, the dog bones dont slip but hang in the guides somewhat

I'm a big fan of the string type stops. Tried the "dog bones" - total disaster! They kept getting hung up on the rod guides. And the soft rubber stops fall apart after several uses, especially if you try to move the stop often. Like naturenut says, wet the knot thoroughly before pulling tight on both ends. I clip the ends to about a 1/16" tag, which I leave for better visibility. Have not experienced any problems over many, many seasons of using these stops.
