- 1). Grasp the tag end of the line and slide it through the two openings on a rubber bobber stop. Adjust the bobber stop to represent the desired depth of the lure. Account for the length of the leader while determining the depth.
- 2). Slide a bead on the line and push it against the bobber stop. The bead acts as a cushion between the stop and the float. It also prevents the float from hanging on the stop.
- 3). Push the tag end of the line through the hole in the center of the float. Pull the line out the opposite end. Tie a swivel onto the end of the line, and attach the leader and hook to the swivel.
- 1). Tie the end of the fishing line to the loop on the float. Tie the line with a clinch knot by pulling the tag end through the loop and making eight wraps around the main stem of the line. Pull the tag end through the loop created at the base of the wraps. Pull on the tag end and main stem simultaneously to tighten the knot.
- 2). Tie the leader to the loop on the float with a clinch knot. Tie the leader at the bottom of the loop to create a ninety-degree angle between the main line and the leader. The angle will slide while casting, but it will readjust once it's in the water.
- 3). Tie the lure or fly to the end of the leader. Use a weighted lure or attach a split shot above the lure to ensure the rig stays at a ninety-degree angle.
