Answer
Hi Stephen,

A ledger stop has two pieces.  Feed your line through the piece that looks like a small section of tubing.  Slide it to where you want it and now put that little tapered piece into the hole.  It acts as a wedge holding itself on the line at that point and keeping your weight (or whatever else you want to stop) from going any further.  

You can also use a small split-shot to do the same purpose.  But, many anglers feel that the ledger stop does not damage the line as much as a split-shot.

Good fishing!
