You ensure the 'stop knot' or 'slider knot' has longish tails. These then do
not get caught on the eyes of the rod.
You can plumb or fish(with a slider float) any depth using this method

Hi all. I know this sounds like a dumb question, but how do you plumb the
depth over 6ft?

I have heard the fraze 'stop-knot', but surely this will catch on the eyes
of the rod?

I am open to ideas.

Cheers.
