I use sakuma powergum for stop knots, it grips the line far better. I use it in place of crimps to keep my srt springs in place on my rigs.

Re: need a knot .help.
power gum is your only man for stopknots its stretchy and makes a great knot.if u want to make ur rigs adjustable you can use the bait stop beads very handy for adjusting the position of your snoods

Re: need a knot .help.
the rubber float stops are good, i use to use them before i used crimps, i use'd the medium ones as the big ones were too loose, i put two on together and they lock against each other.

Re: need a knot .help.
If i'm using stopknots instead of crimps I usually use powergum, but I also tie a mono stop knot of about 10/15lb underneath the bottom stop knot. So, basically I have one stop knot above the swivel and two below, this is more for clipped down rigs to minimise the slipping though!

Re: need a knot .help.
I also came across a swivel with an adjustable crimp either side of it, all in one piece, in my local tackle shop but never took much of a look at it, anyone else came across these or used them??
