Taint neither one PAW. It's them dadgum pin ch on what u callit . My cuz showed me hoow to do it...:Rofl
Tal, I use the little footballs. Line (or as Danny says, string) through the metal loop, and slide the little football on. I've used all kinds, and this type is my favorite. Easy to adjust.
Yep.....thats the kind I use tooQuote:

don't forget to add a small plastic round bead between the cork and the bobber stopper....you can buy the bobber stoppers with the bead on the wire at BPS or Cabellas......
Glad I could help :)
What's it need the bead for? Simple minds want to know.Quote:

the bead will keep the cork from getting hung up or over riding the bobber stopper.....i like the click sound it makes as well...
the ones I get at BPS come with it....I prefer to use it like that for the same reasons fishervet stated.....

Then little footballs Randy is talking about, just need different colors of different size line. Also I use the knot that they show you how to do with the string in the package. They are easy too! Not sure where I got the string, maybe Walmart? Anyway you can make all you want with this and keep them ready to put on. It came with instructions to make the knot over a tube and your line goes through the tube and the knot slips off the tube to your line, tighten it up some and pull tube off to use again.
Bruce, I went and looked at my bobbers. Basically the bead is built in to the end of the tube. I have used the kind you need beads for before I found these.

They come like the one on the right. I shoved one of the tubes from one of those into the kind I like to use.
oh..wise guy......good idea......Quote:

Bruce, you just gave me an idea. I'm gonna cut the black tube off to make it the same length as the cork!!:ThumbsUp Man thanks vet, we really had fun with this.
A pop rivet makes a good sleeve for turning a regular cork into a slip cork. Just slide the rivet(un-popped of course) into the top end of the cork and slide your line through.
Can't take credit for this idea, I read it on here in one of the forums. Had to try it and it works like a charm.

Thats what I have been doing for a number of years now....I cut them off even with the cork.....I also sometimes buy peg corks that you run the line thru and shove in a peg to lock it to the line....instead of fishing them as fixed corks, I shove the peg in tight.....then drill a small dia. hole thru the peg, then use it as a slip corkQuote:
