Anyone have the secrets to type and management of bobber stops? The yarn style get tangled if not clipped, if clipped they fray. The rubber stops don't stay well and have issue with bail rollers. I tried the Micro stops (http://www.clearlyoutdoors.com/fnimall/smart_stop_bobbers_micro.phtml) and love the idea of being able to put them on after the bobber if needed, but they don't stay very well and really get caught on the line roller of my sienna reels. Thinking I will probably go back to good yarn style stops and not clip them. Any secrets out there?
I picked one of these up at the St Paul ice fishing show a couple years ago. It works good. You don't have to untie your hook to tie on the bobber stop.https://berdsinnovations.com/shop?olsPage=products%2Fspot-knot-bobber-stop-tie-system
A plastic stir stick would serve the same purpose.
Swizzle sticks , ( mixed drink straws) work great , i use them down to 4#
