You guys in Idaho are on the ball !! i doubt there are more than a dozen guys here in Utah that even know what a slipbobber is, let alone how to tie a slipbobber knot. Go to your local upholstry shop and get a SMALL spool of the waxed nylon that they use, color is not a problem. So you don't have to buy a whole spool ( about 2000 yds) take a card, notched like a floss winder, an wind a couple of yards on it. I tie mine on the small coffee stirrer straws that you get in your local convenience store. You can tie 6-8 knots on a straw and then either cut the straw up and carry them in a small plastic bag with your beads. You can also get some heavy duty cotton thread at a local fabric store also, just get the heavyest you can find.
