Bobber stops

[OneMoreFish]

Well this is not ice fishing related, but because of the lack of ice I've been doing a lot of shore fishing. I'm generally not one for slip bobbers but I feel like I can get the best action on a tube jig with one. The problem is, and I'm sure It's a well known one, I can never keep my knot in place. No matter what I do it always ends up 10 ft deeper that It's supposed to, hence why I don't like them. Anyone have any tips on how to keep them in place?? Thanks!

I actually tried those today for the first time, they worked much better but it still had some slip to it. The only ones they had were 4-8lb. I run 4lb so maybe I'll search for some 2-4lbs and try that out.

This is what I've been using-easy on & off bobbers & stops

I agree with ByteN2it, those are firm holding stops.  One note of caution - be sure to get the line down into the slot before closing it.  I think I put one on crooked and the line broke above the stop.  The result was a huge crappie swimming away with bobber still attached to the line and the hook still in its mouth.  I was just sick that a great fish was swimming around towing the bobber underwater.  It was like a scene from Jaws when they harpoon the shark with a barrel attached.  I saw the bobber pass by my spot twice about 3 feet under the water surface being towed by the crappie.  I digress, the clearly outdoors bobber and bobber stop system is best I have used to date.

Moisten them with a bit of saliva before pulling them tight. The lubrication will make them go tighter.

I'm not one for a non-sliding bobber stop.  If I had to I would apply glue or rubber band to my bobber stop string knot.  My problem is with setting the string knot and adjusting it anywhere from 1 foot to like 15 feet set up.

I tried them and they hung up on the spool too much for my liking. I use the rubber type that OneMoreFish posted about and don't have that problem. The smart stops were given to a friend who trashed them.

We have used the smart stops some the last couple years. We fish Kentucky lake a lot. Slip bobbers are almost a must down there. We have been pretty happy with them. Seems like anything you use that you need to slide up and down your line, will slip sometimes.
