Rubber bobber stops work great.

I need to try some of those. I have noticed that the tungsten weights seem to cause more abrasion to the line than lead or steel. I usually just let the weight slide though or peg it with a toothpick, but I haven't done that in a while.

BPS has rubber pegs called "Peg-It's" that work great and do not cause problems to your mono line. I have used them for years. When you change weights, you can poke the rubber pegs out with a paper clip to save the weight and use it over. JackL

What about the old toothpick, I've used that method for years and never seen a difference in line break compared to unpegged baits of the same line size.

No! Toothpicks will damage the line in many instances. This usually occurs when one jams the 'pick in with much force in order to secure the weight firmly. PLEASE! Use the rubber Peg-It(TM) brand or, better yet, the BPS brand. The BPS brand has a thinner tip that allow you to more easily insert the peg into the very narrow opening in many tungsten weights and glass beads. Here's MY favorite pegging setup: Instead of pegging the weight I peg a GLASS (not plastic) bead ahead of the worm, leaving the weight to slide freely. The bead protects the worm from being pushed back by obstructions and the weight, as it slides back toward the bead after a "drop" in retrieve, makes a (possibly) fish-attracting "clack!" as it contacts the bead. You won't need a worm rattle...again...possibly. Another benefit; Sometimes one cannot easily remove the rubber peg from the weight. Well, better to sideline a cheap glass bead than to retire a tungsten weight. Be certain to insert the beg from the worm side of the bead. Then, to remove the peg later, insert a ROUND toothpick into the FRONT of the bead and push firmly in order to expose the thicker end of the peg at the worm side of the bead. Once enough of the peg is exposed to allow grasping LIGHTLY with clippers or between the nails on thumb and finger it can be easily drawn out. It can be challenging to insert a rubber peg when one is using a fairly thick line or leader. To make it easier pinch the line, using thumb and forefinger, on either side/end of the bead or weight in order to tighten it inside the channel. Then, moisten the peg with saliva and "wiggle" it into the hole. (Don't say it, JB!) BTW, for the less wealthy in the crowd, BRASS bullet weights are less costly than tungsten and still provide a pronounced "clack" when impacting the bead. Also, they are of larger diameter than equivalent-weighted t'sten so offer better protection for larger nosed softies. Brass weights can be painted too! Be certain to clean thoroughly with alcohol after roughing the surface with emery before painting. L6 |

Seems to be the latest in pegging. Works well for heavier weights if you get the right size. The little ones are too small. It took the local shop a while before they could get the big "stops". |

He couldn't believe his good fortune. Here he was, alone on a bass boat with Kim Bain, the two of them drifting in a remote cove, shrouded by dense fog. "I don't know what to do next." he thought to himself after realizing he'd left his entire stock of Reaction Innovations plastics at the motel. Just then, a soft whisper, Aussie-accented, drifted through the cool mist..."Fancy a Sweet Beaver, Mate? You'll need a stiff rod to work it right." We'll draw the curtain at this juncture. This is, after all, a family forum.(Though it may be fairly stated that SOME family trees represented hereon might benefit from a good spraying.) Lancer6 |

When I use to peg, I used toothpicks, and they do cause damage to your line. After watching Kevn's video on pegging with those sinker stops, I ordered a 1/2 dozen packs. I tested them out and they work great. Plus, it's a no brainer to use them.
