slip bobbers
What kind of bobber stops do you guys use? The knotted ones usually catch in the line as it comes off the spool on a cast and ruins the cast as well as sending the minnow flying.

i use the knotted kind. haven't had a big problem with them catching. tried the rubber ones, but if you move them a lot, they tended to cut through the little rubber piece,

The brand is Thill, a sub of Lindy Tackle.

I also use the string stops. I use them on 4-6lb mono and leave 1/16" tag ends when I trim the stop knot. I have not experienced casting problems when using the string stops.
I've tried the rubber stops and they won't stay where I want them, but are much easier to put on. The rubber stops I tried were an "off brand" I think. I may have to try the Thill stops and see if they work better for me.

The rubber "Bobber stops" work great if you show a little love and add saliva to the mono line so that the rubber will not overheat when sliding. They also make different sized stops for different size line . Keep trying.

ESB slip bobbers. Look em up. You will never look back not regret it.
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:

You can tie your own using mono. Just take a loop of mono and lay it along side the line, then slip a tag end over your line and through the loop 3 or 4 times, pull tight on both ends then trim. I know this doesn't sound right but it works and you can slide it up or down. I usually use a different color of mono for the bobber stop so you can see it better. If your bobber has a large hole you will have to use a glass bead.
