BAIT STOPS

Mon Nov 27, 2006 2:22 pm

just wondering what you use to stop the baits running up your snoods during casting? i have found that if you wrap a little lenght of telephone wire around the snood place a bead before it, it works great. you can also move the bait stop quite easliy so if you decide to use smaller or bigger baits there is no problemo, its great for keeping all your lug close together and insuring that bait stays on your hook and not just on your snood.

regards,

Glow Grubs/ Sequin and Stop Knot/ Float Ledger Stops/ bead and stop knot/ soft crimp bait stops are some ones I like to use, a good bait stop and sequin is the safest and strongest, tie a piece onto your snood line at the start and slide it up the snood cutting off the piece that you used to initially to get the tension on the stop knot, that way your snood will never have a weak spot on it.

you can also use really thin diameter stiff tubing of about 2mm dia. a 2 or 3mm lenght is enough. pass snood through it twice. very tight, neat and cheap! float stops are better for lines under 15lb. make sure you get ones that won't slide too easily.
