Secondly, do bobber stops work on braided line? I am using primarily standard dacron stops and cinch them on the line as you would mono; leaving some tag but not a bunch. The stops keep working loose on the slick braid and won’t stay at the proper depth; especially after a fish is played out and the bobber works against it while fighting a fish.
Thereof, what is a bobber stop?
A bobber stop knot comes handy when you want to adjust the depth at which you want to suspend your bait. As the bait reaches the desired depth, the slip bobber can slide up the line until it hits the stopper knot. It allows presenting your bait at a great depth without being hindered by the bobber on the cast.

How do you set up a waggler float?
First, attach your waggler by trapping it onto your main reel line with split shot. Most floats will tell you how many shot are required by the numbers and letters written on the side (for example “3BB” or “5AA”). A good general rule is to trap the float in place with at least two thirds of the required shot.
How far should the weight be from the hook?
Place one or two split shot sinkers 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) above the hook. Press your line into the narrow groove running through the middle of the sinkers. When picking out your sinkers, use enough weight to bring the bait closer to the bottom, but not enough to weigh down your line.

What do you need for float fishing?
Start by thinking about what you’d like to catch. For general float fishing on rivers, canals and smaller stillwaters, a 12 or 13ft match rod will do nicely. A small reel, loaded with 3-6lb line should match this perfectly (lighter line for roach, dace and bits, or heavier for chub, tench or small carp).
