Description
Dumbell Boilie Stop
Dumbbell boilie stops are small stops used to hold boilies, pellets and other hard hookbaits on the hair. Their dumbbell shape grips the hair loop securely, so your bait stays in place during casting and while fish pick at it, yet they are quick to fit and easy to trim to size.
The hair rig is the standard way of presenting hard baits for carp and many other species, and a good bait stop is an essential part of it. These are a simple, inexpensive item that every carp and specimen angler gets through in large numbers over a season.
How to use them
Push a baiting needle through your boilie or pellet, catch the hair loop in the needle’s hook and draw the loop back through the bait. Push a stop into the loop, then pull the hair so the stop sits snugly against the end of the bait. If the stop is longer than you need, trim it with scissors so it sits neatly. Choose a hair length that leaves a small gap between the bait and the hook bend for good hooking.
Getting the presentation right
A neat bait stop helps your rig look natural and stay tangle-free. For pop-ups and wafters, keep the stop small so it does not affect how the bait sits in the water. When fishing two baits on the hair, a single stop at the end holds both firmly in place.

Compatibility
Use with standard hair rigs and a baiting needle. Suitable for boilies, hard pellets, tiger nuts, corn stacks and similar hard or drilled baits. Very soft baits may be better held with bait bands or a bait spike.
Care and maintenance
Keep stops in their original packaging or in a small tackle box compartment so they do not get lost. Store them out of direct sunlight and away from heat, which can make plastic brittle over time. Check them before use and discard any that are cracked or misshapen.
Who is it for?
Carp and specimen anglers who fish the hair rig with boilies, pellets and other hard baits, and anyone learning to tie and bait their own hair rigs.
