Look for the ones that are rubber.
I get mine from Cabelas but I think Bass Pro has them.
They will hold onto the braid.
The string ones won't work with braid.

The string bobber stops work excellent with braid,that's all I use,and the string knot rarely slips.

Jared. Try these and you will never use the string again.

If I was to tie my own, what would I use for the "knot" material? I am assuming it isn't monofilament ...?

If you are wanting to tie your own, go to wal mart or any store that sales craft stuff. Buy crochet thread, not the woven or spun thread but the smaller string thread (thread used with the real small crochet hooks). You can get a whole spool for that will last years, this is all I use and I dnt have any problems with the knots slipping.

Here are the rubber ones we carry. Made by Eagle Claw. We only recently got them added to the line after the catfishing guys were on us to get them. They say they work with braided line.



Here is the link to them.
