I just take a piece of mono line and tie granny knots until the knot is too big to go through the hole. Then I trim off the excess line from both sides of the knot. You can tie at the length you first want and move it up and down afterwards with ease and it stays put pretty well. The price is right and always works well for me.

I have not heard of using yarn for bobber stops. I have only used the colored thread kind. Are we talking about the same thing? For me these are very easy to move up or down on monofilament line.

I do not like the colored thread kind as I find they tend to slide up and down the line. I like the little rubber stops. You just have to make sure that it's the right size for the line. It will say on the package. I won't use the colored thread kind.

Interesting. I also don’t like how the thread kind move, especially during the fight getting hung on the rod tip but I’ve always just dealt with it as the rubber ones didn’t work for me. They would get caught on my line roller and I couldn’t reel past the spool.
Do you have a brand you like?

I use the dogbone bobber stops, too. They work well and hold their place on my line. I've tried other methods, but always come back to the dogbone stops.
