    Default 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

    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.
