You can buy a large package of plastic beads ( color really does not matter....I usually get green).... in the craft dept at walmart a lot cheaper than you can in the fishing dept. I buy them that way and then order the sinker stops at BPS....lots cheaper that way.

Have used a lot of them in the past

Yep!!
they work great.

here's my favorite bobber setup....
Thillâ„¢ Pro Series Slip Bobber Floats - Unweighted | Bass Pro Shops


easy to watch the bright pink stopper crawl up to the bobber...
good indicator that a sac has hit your jig or shiner on the way down...

I fish in Lake Verret a bunch, and I use the JB Salter bream hooks all the time, love fishing for bream on the bottom.
I'll tie a bobber stopper about a couple of feet above the bream hook an wait for the stopper to move, then set the hook.

theygotaeat, I've never experienced that. I have some on my braid lines that have been on for a year with no problem.

I have had this happen before while reeling in a fish the knot gets caught on first eye of rod, if you keep reeling it can be cut easy
