I use a dacron line and use six turns making the knot.
Sorry can't help you on that one - I got away from the string stops years ago and use the little rubber ones.
thx!i have a freind thats giving me some 20lb dacronQuote:

hey, that looks good. i'll have to check that stuff out.
i just used a uni-knot to make mine right on the line.

I just reverse engineered these store bought stops while in the hospital and needing something to do. :biggrinQuote:

This is the best video I have found for making your own bobber slip knots.Quote:

This is almost identical to my steps. I cut the stirrers in half and the string a lot longer. At around the 2:50 marks he is threading the last tag end back thru the channel. Instead of the channel I go back thru the hole of one of the stirrers. Pinch the string and stirrer tight and pull both back out of the loops. Just an alternate way that works for me. :highfiveQuote:

I like the slotted sleeve on the Rod N Bobb's brand. You can thread it on first, then a bead (if necessary), then the bobber, then your terminal tackle. This is handy especially if you are going to be fishing deep. You don't have to slide a tightened know the whole length. The slot lets the sleeve come off the line right where you since it!
tried some 20lb. fly line backing for bobber stops. it measures .020 dia.
works perfect!
i keep it on spool. i cut a short piece off, and just tie it on the fishing line with a uni-knot.

A lot of folks swear by the Lindy string stops. They hold well due to the fact that the string is cotton. Find some cotton string and make your own for a fraction of the cost of store bought.
