How to tie your own bobber stop
Someone showed me how to do this so figured I'd return the favor by snappin some pics and posting. :smile:
I used about 8" of dacron string...

Hold one end along with the mainline and make a loop laying the working end over both(...

With the working end - make several wraps around both the mainline and the dacron through the loop(I made seven wraps)...

Pull slowly on both ends and snug it down to get a nice lookin' Uni knot( I've found that if you pull too quickly you can cinch it down on the ends before you get the slack outta the middle wraps)...

Cut off the ends and you're good to go.
