Description
Sunset Stop Float Stick Black | The Stealth Pro Rig Component
In competitive match fishing and clear-water shore angling, subtlety is everything. The Sunset Stop Float Stick (ST-S-5004) provides the same industry-leading grip as the glitter version but in a sleek, non-reflective Black finish. This is the choice for the angler who wants a stealth setup that wont attract unwanted attention from bait-stealing pests or spook wary predators.
At Gerrys Fishing, we find these oblong stops to be significantly more reliable than standard round beads. The elongated stick shape creates more surface contact with your line, meaning they stay exactly where you put themeven during a powerful 100-yard+ cast with a heavy lead.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios
The ST-S-5004 is a versatile must-have for technical rig construction:
-
High-Impact Casting: Because these stops have a larger surface area than round versions, they are the best choice for Pulley Rigs or Clipped-Down rigs where the stop must absorb the force of the lead hitting the water without sliding.
-
Stealthy Estuary Rigs: When targeting Bass or Gilthead Bream in shallow, clear water, the matte black finish eliminates any artificial flashes that might deter a cautious fish.
-
Adjustable Hook Snoods: Perfect for creating sliding hook snoods on a rig body, allowing you to change the length of your trace in seconds to find where the fish are feeding.
-
Float Stopping: Use these as float stops for heavy sliding floats. The black color is easy for the angler to see against the line for depth checks, but invisible to the fish looking up.
Why Choose the Black ST-S-5004?
The Black ST-S-5004 is all about performance and durability. Many budget stops become mushy and lose their grip after getting wet and salty; however, Sunsets high-grade rubber maintains its rebound properties session after session. With 20 stops in every pack, they offer incredible value for the rig-builder who demands a professional, tidy finish on every trace.
Gerrys Tip: If you are using these on very thin diameters of Fluorocarbon, try using the Size Small (S). The tighter the fit, the less likely they are to move when a fish takes the bait, ensuring you get the perfect bolt-effect to set the hook
