    Default Bobber stop troubles.....which do you like?!

    I will use a slip bobber anytime fishing over 3-3'.5" and I gotta say....I haven't found any that were hassle free and plain'ol did there job! I've tried three so far......First were the ladder style from Bass Pro where you weave your line in and out and there about a quarter inch long. Great idea however they were made from plastic, a thin plastic at that and after a few cast and going through the guides they would break and be compromised. If they were made from rubber or some type of nylon it would be awesome! My second choice was the standard string style bobber stops that come on the small straw type tube(pic below). I was not impressed, after a few cast they too became loose and started to fail and was able to simply pull it off my line with my fingers. Thirdly I used the rubber bobber stops that come on the little coin with the chicken wire(pic below), atleast that's how I describe it lol. These out of the others were by far the most durable but once again had issues. When casting the bobber stop..yet very small would sometimes get hung up on the last eye/guide of my rod, the smallest eye obviously.....it would turn sideways with the violence of the cast and not smoothly flow out of the last guide(pic below). An surprise surprise a tangled mess! Also, if I was lucky enough to get a few cast off with it flowing correctly the bobber stop would move up and down my line while casting or reeling the line in, again from it contacting the last guide and "re-adjusting" itself. So I ask, what bobber stops are you all using and have had no problems with cause I need to buy em'! Thanks ya'll
