I wonder how this would work with a gear rod set up. Another alternative if you've got an old fly line kicking around.

I put 2 on the bottom and top of the float. Keeps the float from moving. The reason you put them on bottom is if your mainline breaks you don't lose your float too

Isn't the whole idea of bobber stops, especially the top one, so that your float does move and you can fish a slip float. If you don't want your float to move, then why not just peg it?

I have pegged floats before with toothpicks, sometimes they pop out.
A couple of times I had the main line snap (losing everything including float) when fighting a fish.
I remember the last time I ever pegged a float. I set the hook on a steelhead and after one big head shake the fish was gone With my whole rig. Maybe it wasn't the peg but I haven't had it happen since I switched that day so I continue to use stoppers.

really don't like the feel of bobber stopper running thru my guides... so 1 above 1 below !
