Tired of paying four or five bucks for a couple of the Scotty d/r line bumpers? Dollar stores sell cheapo paddle and ball (6 in pack) sets for one to two bucks. Cut each ball in half with razor knife. For braid d/r line drill out the hole slightly or use needle to thread line thru. Wire will go thru without any mods. Voila, 12 cheap line bumpers that work fine.

Gonna hit the $ store tomorrow, thanks,................BB

brilliant! Thank You

Update & improvement. Rather than drilling them out, which is time consuming and messy, Take a hank of thread and large needle, pierce through, remove needle, tie a loop above the rounded end of the ball. When you need to use it, just pass the braid through the loop and pull it through. Voila - quick and easy to rig

can you post a pic sounds like a great idea thanks
