Bait stops

[magpies]

Planning to start building my own rigs but possibly a daft question. Where do you get those little tiny rubber bait stops from which are on some commercial rigs ? They are like a tiny black rubber bead which often has a sequin below it to stop bait sliding up the line.

Tackle shop

On a more serious note...

Tronix, sakuma and most other terminal tackle companies sell them

Or use low dia silicon tube thrwad through then back again and pull tight to form a sliding rubber stop

Just use a crimp and a 8 ml bead.

Here is a link below to those silicon bits what Lambengland has recomended, I use them and they are very good and much cheaper than those other stops.

I wouldnt use a crimp on a snood. Asking to loose a fish IMO. Silicone tude is your best bet

theres nothing wrong with using a crimp and a few luminous beads after the bait, works great for picking the whiting out when its a rather slow night, just my opinion.

Just use a sequin and a stop knot easy and cheap

Think Steve Bell is on about not using a crimp as it will weaken the line, which
could result in losing a good fish.

I tie a length of of line on stop knot style but leave a long tag end and secure it to your bait with elastic. Works for me even when giving it big licks.

fishing repulic there called float stops.....same thing

I just use the neice/nephews sequins out there colouring boxes ect, and put a crimp above it to stop it moving

 

[Darnc]

A stop knot wont damage of weaken the hook line it just keeps the sequin in place

Agree, would not use a crimp on snood, use stop knot and sequin. Cheaper too.

 

[wavy davy]

Aluminium crimps would not damage the snood and will stop the bait moving up the line, I have used them for years.

Stop knot for me 20lb amnesia, no bead or sequin, the tag end does the job. Also put one above my top pennel, stops it riding up during the cast.

Same, only 25lb amnesia

find you get more grip with neoprene tubing line through twice and pull

I have started using the rubber backs for display ear rings £1.50 for 500 from china , I use a hair rig needle to put them on go through side if using fine diameter line , they just work like float stops

Yeah stop knot above smaller hook stops it moving during cast and easy to slide if you need to
