I bought those too, but from Korda. Will look on AliExpress, good tip that. Never thought about that while I constantly buy from there.

Floss caps. Just melt your floss into it and press with side of lighter.
I buy from Ali express in the bundles. £1 per 100. Buy 3 items for free delivery in the bundles so I buy yellow, clear and pink. Cost £3 and delivered within a week

Why not use some arma mesh or something and you can then floss through that and blob/tie it off?
Better still, use tigers and instead of floss use heavy duty coated braid. That’ll last longer than any boilie on a canal

Ok, hard hookers. On a Ronnie or German rig with a bait screw?

That'll stop em!

I tried that indeed, but I fish a canal with cray fish and crabs and small fish, so I need something that is durable and secure. But thanks for your input!

Tie the floss around the bait and not through it?

Even try using a boilie stop?

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your input! Really nice!

I have tried bait screws in the past but with softer baits, these also doesn't stay on they way I would like it. Sorry.

I indeed used long enough tag ends in the floss to create big enough blobs and then push them to flatten the blobs. I have some floss caps, so may give those a try again indeed.

Will experiment a bit, I have inspiration now!

Sounds like the Baiting Needle you are using could be too thick.
Also, use Floss that is Waxed.

Bait screws are far easier.

Possibly a bit rudimentary, but is the floss you're burning big enough to burn down and create a stop, and are you tapping it with the lighter?
