i just bought some float stoppers and i am having trouble putting them on my line. So how do you put float stoppers on your line?
-
What type do you have ?
-
PUT THE LOOP RIGHT THROUGH UR LINE, THEN SLIDE THE STOPPER ON UR MAIN LINE, AND SLIDE IT UP ! THATS THE BEST THAT I CAN DO BY TYPING !

for the dne, each wire holds a pair of stoppers. if you look closely, you will notice that the wire has a loop at the end. take your line and thread it thru the loop allowing 3 inches of line to stick out. slowly pull the first stopper towards the end of the loop making sure your line stays in place. when it reaches the end of the wire, the stopper should be pressing against your line, then continue until the stopper transfers from the wire to the line all in one careful motion (you'll notice that your main line will double over).
continue to pull, until the excess 3 inches of line passes. at this stage, the stopper should be sitting on your line.
i hope this also helps a little. they all have the same priciples. sorry i don't have any diagrams.

If you are going to be fishing a lot with bobber stoppers, I would recomend that you use the tied on type. I have tried bobber stoppers for quite some time and the ones that are plastic, I find they can kinda catch on the eyes as you cast. This causes a less than smooth cast and the knock can more the bobber stopper changing your depth. The ones that are tied (with fly backing or whatever) seem less prone to moving as they are smaller and travel over the guides more smoothly..
good luck
