Alternative
Hair Stops
 The
cheapest and I believe the most effective hair stop is to use a piece
of uncooked spaghetti.
It is also a natural food and holds soft baits such as prawns really
well.

Another hair-rig
idea is the use of fuse wire at the end of the hair.
Tie your rig as usual, but tie into the loop of the hair a one-inch
piece of fuse wire...
Thread the bait onto the hair as usual, pull the wire through the bait
and then turn it back on itself, it holds soft baits really well - and
there's no need of any hair stop.
It's ideal for
meat and softer baits.
You can also
use pole elastic as a hair stop... it's cheap and comes in various colours
and thickness to suit your baits.
