Stoppers
Stops
A stop, or stopper, is an accessory used in fishing for various types of rigs to prevent an element of the rig or even a bait from slipping out of a designated area.
Line stops are made from flexible, soft materials that serve as shock absorbers, while bait stops are generally made from harder materials that cannot be deformed. They usually have an oval shape.
Bait stops can come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the baits they are designed for. Some may resemble the bait itself, such as the corn-shaped stops used in carp fishing.
