SSBM VMC-0166-2 | Sinker Stops | Medium: For Line Diameters Between 8-12 lb Test | $1.49 USD | ||||||||
The VMC Sinker Stops are designed to peg the weight close to the hook on a punch, flipping or pitching rig. These stops eliminate crimping and possible damage to line while securely holding the weight in place. Constructed from high density neoprene.
- price
- easy to use and put on line
- size hardly noticed above weight
- not sure if tying a loop in the line would allow it to be reused. This may possibly be the only downside not reusable.
I was introduced to this type of a sinker stop or some call a bobber stop on a recent trip to El Novillo in Mexico (Great Bass lake), never used them before that trip. I have tried to peg the bullet weight for years and there is always an issue. Either the peg doesn't hold just right or if you try and cinch it too much it damages the line. Not with this method.
BUT, let me take it one step further for you to try. I have always for at least the past 25 years now, put a glass bead behind my bullet weights, always make they are "Glass" not plastic beads as they clack against the bullet weight. Now add this stopper about a 1/2 to one inch or so in front of that bullet and glass bead and it REALLY is clacking! Try it, surprised me!
- Ease of use and additional clacking if used with a glass bead.
- Made me buy 20 more units because they worked so well the first time out. ;-)
- Last Long.. durability is great!
- Work as described.
- Need to know how to use, but lots of resources.
