Bobber Stop Line

I'm wanting/needing to tie some bobber stop knots (instead of buying them) and not sure which line to use. I have read Dacron line but I see braided line and fly fishing backing line...can someone post a link to what they use. I would like orange or chartruse line if possible..

Thanks,
Mike

Dental floss unwaxed. Oops missed the color pref.

I use dental floss also, but I've only seen it in white and black(yes black, I got a spool of it from my dentist???)

I guess u could hit it with an orange sharpie

I use Dacron catch it on sale at Wally Stores or local bait shop, I've always found it in Chartreuse- easy to work with & see............................................... ....

Du-Bro Pro Series - Fishing Accessories, Slip Bobber Accessories try here

I tie a 20lb test or 17lb test fluorocarbon uni-knot around the main line and slide it up or down. Usually four winds is enough before clipping both ends no shorter than 1/8 inch.

Yes you can buy a spool of line just for bobber stops and in chart.

I use fly line backing....comes in several bright colors

Yes, I know that wasn't the question

Ever try rubber bands cut real small and can be moved up and down with ease

Most of the time I am using dental floss but I suspect a chartreuse waxed braided line will work. Never tried it though as the wax from the dental floss really holds the knot well.

Hmmmm....I do enough knot tying as it is without having to worry about bobber stops. The pre-tied dacron stops sold by Cabelas and/or BPS are so cheap, it's a no brainer, for me anyway.

Thanks for all the reply's,

I picked up some #30 dacron line...and will use that to tie them as need in the boat...bobber stop knot....very easy to tie.

I also picked up some Rubber stops and will try them also. Now we need the weather to start cooling down. Its been a brutal late summer here in Iowa.

Thanks again,

Mike

just started using those coupla months back.......love'em........

I've used braided line. I cut up small sections of straws you find where they sell coffee and tie them on these. They don't take up much room and work great. Leave plenty of tag line to tighten them up, especially after they get wet, then trim. Don't know about different colors or why it would matter.

dental rubber bands for kids braces work great .
