How to Make your Own Boilie Stops and What to Use?

All you need is a broom, for example a hard plastic broom, available in different colors at stores like Action.

With wire cutters, you can cut them into different lengths, and then use needle-nose pliers to give them the desired shape.

With pliers you can bend and cut the pieces to size, so you have the perfect set of boilie stops for every hair rig length.

I always have a bunch of hard plastic broom bristles in my tackle box, so you’ll never run out.

Good luck making your own boilie stops!

I have been fishing all my life, but the carp bug started around when I was sixteen, in the western part of the country where I was born. I was less active in fishing for a few years, but the passion runs where it cannot be suppressed. Fishing truly brings me peace, being out in nature, and feeling the adrenaline rush when the bite alarm goes off. Besides carp fishing, I enjoy experimenting with everything related to carp fishing.
