    before you pull on the strings to tighten, wet the string, then pull. makes a huge difference.

    I just always thought the tag ends would catch on the guides, but sounds like if I pull tight that shouldn't matter. Thanks guys

    I'm a big fan of the string type stops. Tried the "dog bones" - total disaster! They kept getting hung up on the rod guides. And the soft rubber stops fall apart after several uses, especially if you try to move the stop often. Like naturenut says, wet the knot thoroughly before pulling tight on both ends. I clip the ends to about a 1/16" tag, which I leave for better visibility. Have not experienced any problems over many, many seasons of using these stops.
