I just tie a tight knot onto the mainline using some spare 20lb line,works for me ,slides up and down only when I move it!

I usually use a short length of power gum, not too bad at being able to move it up and down the line to adjust the depth.

i use rig tubing but you can use a elastic band,it will do the job

 

[kennythejoiner]

As they say a bit of rig tubing and just move it up and down to suit

Powergum stopknot for me, as it sits on the reel better;

 

[Big Col]

I use pole elastic, it comes in all different thicknes so you can buy the size you need for the size of your rod rings, slides through your rings easy when casting & is highly visible so you can see if you are fishing over depth & is about half the price of power gum, 5m spool will cost about £2.50 :crazy:

As for your stop knot, try this link out

HI

If you tie a leader to your main line at the depth you reqiure it acts as a stop knot.

telephone wire is another good one use one strand out of 6-8 or what evers in there,couple oh inches last you ages..

 

[Pyrex]

I just cut off a wee bit from my mainline and tie on with a grinner ( 4 wraps round mainline ,form a loop, 4 wraps inside loop , tighten and trim ) should stay on for ages...

I bought a box of wee coloured rubber bands from Morrisons - cheap as chips, work perfectly and will last me for ages.
