Savagefishing91 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I'm trying to get into punching. Found some watermelon red skirts on sale at cabelas, along with some 4/0 Vmc flippin hooks, but can't find bobber stoppers. Can't find them at academy either.. does everyone just buy them online now?

Super User RoLo Posted February 11, 2017 Super User Posted February 11, 2017 I normally buy sinker-stops from Tackle Warehouse. Some brands hold up better than others, right now I'm happy with '6th Sense' line-stops. Roger 4 Quote

junyer357 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I pick mine up at siebert when i order my tungsten. They have 2 sizes as well, one for smaller or larger weights. Best of all they work very well for less than 1/2 the price of the 6th sense ones. If you plan to punch check them out. Better prices on tungsten as well and they will also wire tie skirts as standalone punch skirts or onto a skirted punch weight, and still beat tw and acadamy on prices. Quote
MichiganBass80 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Bought mine on amazon. I think I paid around $10 for 600. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 11, 2017 Super User Posted February 11, 2017 While I don't punch much other than our punching bag at home, I do use bobber stops for various techniques. Normally get the ones you slip your line into and thread the rubber stop on. 4 Quote

I will use two stoppers one before the weight and one after,so I can peg the weight or slide both up tight to the weight and now I have a C-rig.Oh Gander has them too. 1 Quote
