All About Slip Bobber Stoppers - Which One Is Best For Your Fishing?

[@haciendadad]

This has to be the best slip stopper video ever! I thought there was only one, the thick string one, now I learned there are other choices and I even purchased some of those rubber stoppers too. He is such a good, thorough teacher, I had to subscribe! Thank you sir!

[@Moondogbaitco]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@franktwarren]

Glad someone finally said it was just a uni knot. I watched several videos on bobber stoppers and making your own and everyone would tie the knot like it was some kind of secret formula and never acknowledge the fact it was just a uni knot. they probably could've saved a few minutes on their vid if they just told people that

[@Moondogbaitco]

Yes sir!

[@jsmooth5480]

Great video and unbiased towards your preferred stopper method, great work!!

[@Moondogbaitco]

[@bullbars1822]

I find that moistening the yarn style knot with saliva or lake water allows it to be tightened more and a little bit smaller. It still loosens over time. I do like the bone (gizmo) style knot and if it is too loose for your line, hold two knots together still only using 4 holes and works great.

Used rubber bands when I was a kid, they work great. !

[@Moondogbaitco]

Interesting. I dont think I have seen that yet?!

[@commonsense2574]

@@Moondogbaitco just tie on a piece. They slide to adjust and hold. Ez peazy.

[@chrisfuller3277]

....and if you don't have a rubberband, we've used a small piece of blue nitril rubber glove. Tie it tight, cut it as small as possible and start fishing.

[@jeffwerth2707]

I use braid for my main line - the fabric ones work in that they don't get cut (vs. the rubber ones) when you slide them on your line

[@lamonteplays]

oh yeah im getting me some gizmos tomorrow :) thanks man!

[@Moondogbaitco]

👍

[@richerwin6397]

Only problem I foresee with the gizmos is that they need to be threaded all the way up the line from the end, like the rubber stops. If you're running deep under the bobber, that could be a pain.

[@joepeacock3781]

Use the same mono line to tie the bobber stop as used on the reel. A 10lb piece of mono works great on your 10lb mono already on your reel. It holds well and stays tight. It also goes through smaller eyes quite well and no ice build up.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Thanks for the tip! I will have to try that one.

[@sheldoncampbell2958]

The rubber stoppers work great on braided line.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Yes they do!

[@bigrich6750]

Thanks for that. Braid is so thin, the pre-made stoppers will go through the bead if you’re not careful.

[@kevindavis7822]

Really good job sir

[@davidhowell9782]

Great analysis. I’ve only used the yarn ones and as you say , they have advantages and disadvantages.

30 pound dacron with a constrictor knot works for me, AND if you go to Orvis brick & mortar store you can usually get 20 yards for free if you ask nicely

[@loklokoppa9255]

Try a rubber band. Works well too. I have the Gizmo on my 10lbs braided line.

The rubber foot ball is my favorite.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Yeah…I think it is mine too now. It is just so easy!

[@caniaccharlie]

Just started using slip floats and I don't know how I've fished my whole life without using them! I've only tried the little rubber football shaped ones so far. from videos I've watched I can't see a reason to try others yet. Although, I do have some yarn ones to try on a catfish rig I was watching a guy use the other day.

[@Moondogbaitco]

👍👍

[@patpacheco3296]

Great idea! Does this not stay put or is there a way to make it stay put better than the slide on cheap string ones?

[@slyarsenal]

How long and thick are those Gizmo stoppers?

[@garystewart66]

Best video ever

[@Moondogbaitco]

👍 thanks!

[@erickingsbury7193]

Just began this system....if you buy from amazon.....and you buy the bulk stops.........looking at the rubber stops..........are they less quality?

[@stillwater62]

Fly tyers can use the round silicone rubber legs used on certain types of flies, tied in a uniknot, and it will not slip, is very small, will go through tiny rod guides and is the best I have ever used. Try it out, the silicone round rubber leg material is cheap and last you a long time.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Cool idea!

[@larryelliott4917]

Do you have any trouble getting line through smaller thrill bobbers, as I have the last few I have purchased

[@Moondogbaitco]

I have not with any of the ones I have?

[@johnguth5376]

The rubber bobber stop comes in different sizes for different size lines.

[@Moondogbaitco]

👍

[@bigrich6750]

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been trying to use a bobber stopper with a bigger salt water float over structure in the bay but the stopper slipped badly putting my bait on the bottom anyway.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Glad it helped you. Thank you for watching!

[@raymondbartlett2674]

Where did you get that small thill float from?

[@Moondogbaitco]

To be honest…I cannot remember. I have had it in my box for a few years now.

[@duanebolen543]

I have used Dental floss for Barber stops.

[@Moondogbaitco]

👍

[@christophernewman3206]

will the bead go through the guides and onto the spool? I don't understand the purpose of the bead because it seems like it limits you to depths only equal to twice your rod length

[@Moondogbaitco]

Bead slides down with the float when casting. It keeps the stopper from sliding through the float. If the stopper is larger than the floats tube, then you don’t have to have to use the bead.

[@christophernewman3206]

@@Moondogbaitco thank you!

[@cory8791]

What size of bead?

[@Moondogbaitco]

Beads come with the packs of stoppers. Not sure on the size? 4mm would be my guess

I use a peace of rubber band. Wind it 2 times around your line, knot, cut away the extra's and done.

Interesting!

I always use a string stopper and never a bead. Rarely ever do they come loose.

[@agentorange2554]

Just because I'm lazy, I'm going with the rubber. Not using ultra lite gear, so I should be good to go.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Yes sir! I am guilty of using the easy rubber stoppers all the time. They are great!

[@flahornet132]

try a rubber band and it works small size rubber band for small line and large band for heavy saltwater

[@Moondogbaitco]

A couple others guys mentioned that. I will have to try it out. Thanks!

[@zap7759]

Drop of glue on the Thill ropes works pretty good. Definitely the Decoy rubber sinker stops on or slightly above the leader if fishing shallow.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Nice tip!

[@nowisgreat123]

I use tiny split shot for my stop. I have more ideas now.

[@Moondogbaitco]

[@terryguin9529]

I’m shocked that lubricated floss slides easily on the line. Maybe because it’s lubricated but I’m no expert 😂. All kidding aside this is a very informative video.

[@Moondogbaitco]

[@TheJoehabr]

I actually dab a little bit of superglue on the yarn knot. Less chance for it get loose on you.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Nice…will have to try that

[@HughButler-lb6zs]

A friend got me started on using floss. My experience is it moves too much.

[@Moondogbaitco]

👍

[@mikeheffler9813]

Use unwaxed dental floss and give it 4-6 twist on the knot.

[@Moondogbaitco]

Ah…ok. I had a feeling the waxed was the issue there.

[@BassUnion]

10 wraps with the floss is money

Unwaxed dental 5 or 6 turns

Using waxed floss is the problem. Use unwaxed and the rresults will improve.
