bobber stops

[RainbowBait]

I have used a few different types of bobber stops and they all seem to have flaws. I use them when fishing bobbers and on my jigging set up to mark the bottom. The ones I have tried are the thread type and the rubber type. Which bobber stops do you use and why?

I have been using these with good luck, they seem to grip both the fine braids and the smooth copolymer lines. Just make sure they are tight and trim the ends up after sinching.

Are these a differnt material from a normal bobber stop?

The Thill stops are very good quality and hold well. If you wet them before you cinch them tight, they hold even better.

I have stopped using them on the jig rods. Normally I use the thread type but the line would get caught on the stop as it came off the spool, complicating getting the jig back down. The stop was a nice point of reference but ultimately not worth it for me.

I still use the thread stops on bobber rods but I tie my own and that won't help on this question.

The Thrill stops are made of a coarser thread and they seem to "hold" the line better.

i use JR Tackles rubber stops and they hold strong! and best of all they wont get caught in your line when letting line out.
