Bobber Stop

[Don]

Will they feed through a baitcaster?

 

[troutspinner]

My rods they do not. Just depends on your guide sizes I guess.

 

[Don]

I realize that guides are a stopping point but most of my rods are old and have larger guides so not an issue. My concern was the small guide on my baitcaster reels. Thoughts?

 

[troutspinner]

Why would you want a stop to go into your spool? Back to the question, I doubt it would pass through.

 

[Solitario Lupo]

The stop TS is a string or whatever, to stop the bobber at a certain point. It goes in the reel.

I don’t think it will work. It’s not the guides so much it the reel hole size that feeds your line. Might get something small to work.

Yes I was talking bobber stop. I'm just figuring what I can accomplish with the use of a bait caster. Sol is correct, in my opinion, that a bobber stop is unlikely to pass through a reel guide.

So you're slip bobbering with a bait caster? I had not thought of trying that. Where did you get the idea?

 

[Don]

Seems like it won’t work. Oh well. I’ll use an old spinning reel.

I use the small rubber ones

Works on my 10’ casting rod

Slip bobbers used in the black hole.

 

[Don]

It won't be the rod that is an issue. just the guide on the reel. It's pretty small. I have three sizes of the Rubber and one of the string type plus I can tie them. So I guess I'll try the all.

Do you use the rubber ones? The end eye can be replaced very easily

 

[Don]

who on earth would swing a 10' casting rod?

 

[A-5]

Me

So very Young and Muscular. Better you than me.

yes. I prefer hand tied but the small rubber ones are nice.

 

[A-5]

I hate the hand tied ones. Not a fan.
