    Default Sliding Bobber Stops


    What the heck? Can't find anything local but the thread type, and they loosen-up in no time. I found the plastic "dogbone" type online. Was at Gander Mountain today & they didn't have them either. Anyone know of any chain-store places (which might have a store in Indiana) that carries them?

    I buy mine at WalMart......small rubber football shaped and on a fine wire that allows you to transfer it to your line. BPS carries them also

    Tie your own with a little heavier mono than you have on your main line. It will hold up better than any store bought stops. Other than that, the small little rubber stops that are on little wires, are good as long as your line is not too thick, but they do not slip through smaller guides very well. The dogbone type your talking about are no count, they put major twist and crimps in your line when you slide them.

    Dicks if you have one. I like the Thill brand string ones. They work great. Dogbone ones suck.

    The fishing dept manager at Dicks advised me to use the string version rather than the plastic stops. He said they tear up your line and don't move through the guides as easily. I've had the strings on for two weeks (12 fishing trips) and haven't had one move at all. Just snug it up tight before you clip the tags. And the string ones were cheaper.

    I use the little slip off the wire rubber ones from Janns. If you have a Dicks sportings good store at least the one here has some made by Eagle Claw that work just as good. If you get them and pull them out of the package write the line weight on the tab so you don't forget it.
