Surprised it took so long for scotty to make these setups. Been using this type of setup for years, chandler sells them.
Scotty is working with Rite angle fishing and has bought the design and is making them in house now under the Scotty brand .. Riteangle benifits from working with them and there is no infringment issues ..These look an awful lot like the ones I've been using for years from Rite Angle Fishing Products. A little bit of infringement there?

Love the concept of the product, especially with braided line. I'd never go back to using stopper beads.
They will cost around 22$ with the snubber and 16$ without the snubber and approximately 1$ more for the 60” length..How much do they cost?

I'm sure they work great, however a 4-5' piece of Ganion
tied to your braided line with a palomar knot works great and cost's nothing.
I have also seen that setup but have seen it where the knot in the ganion doesnt trigger the stop both ways can work effectively im sure .No, the knot acts as the stopper.
I used to use swivels, but don't trust them anymore.
Any questions you would have to direct to Scotty directly as i do not work there a friend of mine does , So if you have any questions please call and they would be more then happy to answer your questions im sure.Been using this set up for years as I find the stoppers a simple and clean alternative. Only issue I have had most recently is to keep an eye on the swivels as I unfortunately found out the ones I purchased used overseas **** poor swivels (not USA) . After having a closer look of what was left of the 2 swivels I could see clearly they rusted out internally. Still looking for the 2 cannon balls. LOL.
Change out annually is my recommendation as I am sure after a season the blue twine would naturally deteriorate as well. I personally changed out my swivels to a USA type on my remaing stoppers and as well the next size up that will still slide thru the rigger wheel. I am confident they will now hold up well. Good question for Scotty as a quality supplier they would have taken this into consideration for the price.
