The Slip Stop
The bobber fisherman uses a slip bobber for casting and general handiness, and stops the bobber from running up the line by using the Slip Stop. It has the advantage that the stops moves readily over the rod guides, but grips the monofilament nylon tightly that it will not slide over the line. It should be made with about 5 inches of nylon, usually the same diameter as the line itself.
