For those of you out there that have tried both which do you perfer?

i alwayed used the preston slip shot, i found they slid along the line easily and when they first came out i found them to be a consistant size, but after a while found they was all diffents sizes and the cuts were all over the place causing them to hang awkard, having saw a friend of mine using stotz over the last winter just before they was released on to the shelves i was impressed, so since they have been avaliable i have been using these i find them neat and very easly to put on,

but the question is do any of you notice if the presentation is any better than ordinary shots??? because i dont think i do!

I bought some stotz in size 8 & find them very neat & easy to slide & put on, I have been impressed enough to buy the other sizes. I'm not convinced they make any difference presentation wise though. My only negative is I find them very difficult to open up & remove from the line

i agree with mark about trying to get them back off the line. I also dont like the nice shiney silver colour, would prefer a dull colour such as black, dark grey, dark green ect

Are they they that dear that you have to take them off and re-use them

try sprinkling a few drops of vinegar on them and allow to soak,after a night of this they will go a nice dark colour.and if you dont like it save the vinegar for chips on the way home.

Have a look at the new ZLT shot,its very very soft, its absolutely brilliant.

Lee we where on about these ages ago but I cant find a retailer selling them, do you know anybody local

I'd never seen them before this week Frank and the lads in Bilston angling centre were raving about them when i went in the shop monday...so i got a number 13, a number 10 and a number 8 and put them on some 0.06 line and you could move them about...i was very impressed mate.

I cant use shot , I've used stiles for years, but I find I am limited to using light floats
