Stopper knot
The term stopper knot refers to a group of knots with which rope can be thickened or weighed down.
Thickenings in the cordage are required, for example, to find a hold on the cordage with your hands or feet or to prevent a line from slipping through an eyelet (unraveling). Weightings on the cordage are required, for example, to be able to throw a line far and precisely.
Outline of the stopper knot
The group of stopper knots is divided into two classes:
Stopper knot at the end of a line
Are end knots that are at the end of a line. These are further divided into single-strand thickening knots and multiple-strand thickening knots.

The stopper stek is a clamping knot with which another (secondary) rope can be tied to a (main) rope under load; for example, to tighten the main rope with a pulley .
Angler's stopper knot
Anglers use a knot similar to the throwing knot, which they also call the stopper knot. It is used, for example, to attach a carp rig, as a distance marker on the main line or as a hook attachment.
