What hook length material and length do you use david
Several slices of meat on a size 1 with the hook point buried. Only when fishing low water will I use a hair and normally then I use pellet or boilie.
Several slices because if one is pulled off or falls off there are the others. With a cube of meat there is always the chance of sitting there with nothing on the hook

Does anyone still use a piece of spaghetti for a meat or pellet stop?

The original logic behind using a section of spaghetti as a stop was that it was very good at keeping soft baits on during a powerful cast, but it then softens up after a while in the water. That is fine in certain circumstances, but if you also wish to prevent the bait being removed by pest critters (anything from crays to chub ) for as long as possible, then it isn't the best.
