Bobber Stop?

Will NOT !  😅 

If the weight doesn't slide over it, it will probably jam it up inside the nose of the weight and get partially stuck, unless you put a bead on it too.......in which case.....what purpose does it serve?     A better choice would be a split shot.  Also cheaper than a bobber stop....and easier to install.

And listen here Roland, a "C-rig" is a C-rig regardless of whether you have a plastic lizard, a Brush Hog, OR a wad of chicken livers on the hook.   

OK, you win.

I'm with Wrench here, I think a standard sewing thread style bobber stop would pass right through a bullet/sliding weight. The plastic tab style may not.

Why not just use an egg weight and peg it with a toothpick?

We used these crappie fishing last week to hold bullet weights above the jigs.

I bet I can whip a piece of dacron onto the line quicker than you can thread & slide that miniature football up the line.  😁.  

At the tackle shop over the hill those little bastages are .20 apiece.

I have swivels.

I've used split shot but was told it will weaken the Line.

Use mostly 3/8 - 1/2 once Egg Weight.

Oneshot you have at keast a few years experience.  Your normal style spears to have worked stick with it it.  Unless I was fishing in a registered carp tournament and for some reason thought a carp would pick up the bait feel the weight if the split shot and suddenly be able to surmise that not only it is a trap but that I had not mowed my grass recently and left a poor tip at the bad food restaurant that morning I would keep to my old way.  Don't get me wrong I can't tell you how many things I have changed or went to a new way on but seldom has it made a major difference for me.

More than one way to skin a cat, that’s for sure.  I use the stops all the time in spinner or slow death rigs for walleye and line size as well as stop size are important to how effective they are - just like anything else fishing related.  In the rigs I use, there are swivels(at least one) involved as well - you won’t beat a swivel for controlling line twist, or stopping a heavy weight(where a bead is a must as well).  I have also at times spliced my line with a double-uni with a bobber stop as a “the buck stops here” point depending on the situation.  Did I mention that all swivels are not created equal……?

Sounds like what I'm always saying if it isn't  broke don't fix it.

Interesting Carp I don't use any weight.  Going to catch some and can them.
