Can anyone tell me if there are any bobbins that grip the line but also allow the line to run freely? Only ones i can find are the fox slik bobbins

I think my solar titaniums came with a separate line clip so you can do both but i never use it just use my mps mag heads on them.

Muddy waters kippa clips now sold by Cygnet. Old school and still the best IMO

The esp barrel bobbins come with two types of clips extra weights and two length chain and are only about £15. If memory serves me right.

Jag safeliners grip the line and then drop off when you have a screaming run. Best of both worlds!

Yeah same.

My old matrix ones had the bit at the bottom you pushed into which grips line and when pulled tight pops out into the normal bobbin arms frerunning. Same as the delkims

Use some ND carbon ones. They are spot on

As Euroboy said ND t10 or t11 are spot on and well priced

Yes they work the same but the JAG ones are much better manufactured.

I found the Jags 1) very hard to see and 2) had a tendency to twist when attached to the line. Now I use indicators with the Cygnet jobbies and they're perfect. And cheap.
