Make your own bobber stoppers? I have only every used the oval rubber ones that come on this wire attached to a small plastic disc. Would think they would be cheaper than any spool of line.

I tie my own too.

Use whatever I can find, from fly line backing to old musky line.

Tie them on old straws. Prefer thin straws.

Uni knot.

Tie my own. Canadian tire had a spool of 50lb black dacron for 6 bucks. Should last forever lol.

[Flieguy]

uni floss fly tying thread is what I use.


some people would be horrified I use fly tying thread for bobber fishing o.o I don't do it too often haha

I don't want to put anyone out but I would love to see what these tied bobber stoppers look like if you could post a pic I would appreciate it.

I did a Google search but it kept showing me mass produced versions.

Here is a video that shows how tie your own bobber stops. He ties it directly on the fishing line, but you could easily tie it around a straw.

in a pinch, I just use a short piece of fishing line myself. it will slip when pulling the bobber through the water, but it works and I've always got line.

The rubber ones are the best I have ever used. Hard to find them some times though.

I use a piece of the rubber skirt off of a buzzbait. Wrap one piece 2 or 3 times and tie a knot. This is enough to stop a slip bobber and doesn't affect reeling in on your spool.
