Nytro Stopitz – Large

Nytro Stopitz – Large

Stop the slide and take control of your rig with the Nytro Stopitz (Large). While standard line stoppers often sit “wonky” or slip under the pressure of a heavy cast, the Stopitz has been engineered with a unique, elongated profile that ensures it sits perfectly straight on your mainline. This creates a more streamlined, professional-looking setup that casts further and tangles less.

The “Large” version is the heavy-duty workhorse of the range. Being slightly longer than conventional stoppers and featuring precision-flattened ends, they are the ultimate choice for building modern running rigs. When your feeder slides down the line and hits the Stopitz, the flat surface provides a solid contact point that creates the perfect “boom” effect, kicking your hooklength away and ensuring your bait is presented flawlessly on the lake bed.

Key Features & Benefits

• Elongated Straight-Line Profile: Unlike round beads that can pivot, the longer body of the Stopitz ensures it remains parallel to your line, reducing air and water resistance.

• Flattened “Boom” Ends: The ends are squared off to provide a secure, flush fit against swivels or feeders, acting as a mini-boom to prevent tangles.

• High-Grip Rubber Compound: Made from a dense, high-friction material that grips firmly on both monofilament and braided mainlines.

• Trouble-Free Wire Application: Supplied on high-quality metal wire loops. Just thread your line through and slide—no more fumbling with tiny individual beads.

• Heavy-Duty Versatility: The Large size is specifically designed to handle the impact of heavier feeders and large, loaded wagglers without moving.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use Nytro Stopitz (Large)

• Feeder Running Rigs: Use two or three in a row to create a secure, cushioned stop for your feeder link. The flattened ends ensure the swivel sits flush, creating a stiff “arm” that prevents the hooklength from wrapping back.

• Heavy Pellet Wagglers: When using 10g+ loaded floats, the Large Stopitz provides the necessary grip to keep your float at the correct depth during high-velocity casting.

• Paternoster Rigs: Ideal for creating adjustable “fixed” points on your line for dropper links when targeting perch or predators.

• Distance Casting: The streamlined shape is a favorite for reservoir anglers who need every extra yard and can’t afford the drag of bulky, irregular beads.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The ‘Large’ Stopitz is my secret weapon for building distance running rigs. Because they are longer than standard beads, they have a much bigger ‘surface area’ gripping your line. My advice? When you’re sliding these onto your line, always wet the mono first. It prevents friction heat from kinking the line. If you’re using a heavy feeder (50g+), try ‘doubling up’—put two Stopitz back-to-back. The flattened ends will lock together, creating a rock-solid ‘super-stopper’ that won’t budge even when you’re launching it to the horizon!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will these slide on thin braided lines?

A: Yes! The high-density rubber is designed to grip exceptionally well on the slick surface of modern braids. However, we always recommend testing the grip on your specific diameter before casting.

Q: Are the ends truly flat?

A: Yes, the ends are squared off during the molding process. This is specifically done so that when they sit against a swivel or another Stopitz, they form a straight, rigid connection rather than a pivot point.

Q: Can I reuse them once they are on the line?

A: While you can slide them off a piece of discarded line, they are at their grippiest when used fresh from the wire loop. For the cost of a pack, it’s always worth using a new one to ensure your rig doesn’t slip during the session.

Q: How many come in a pack?

A: You get 12 Large Stopitz per pack, typically organized on two separate wire loops for easy storage in your tackle box
