DIY Bobber Stop

A bobber stop is a brilliant device that allows anglers to quickly set and reset the depth of their presentation when fishing a sliding bobber.  With a few simple tools and inexpensive materials, you can make your own bobber stop.

First, cut a bobber stop disc out of a soft rubber material via single hole paper punch.  For example, I used the soft rubber sleeve from a spent pen.

Second, make a hole in the center of the bobber stop disc.  For example, I used the end of a straightened out paper clip.

Commercial bobber stops are readily available at reasonable prices.  I prefer to make my own at $0.00. 🙂
