Wonder what indicators people use. I can't find my old ones(Fox Slik bobbins) but to be honest I never really enjoyed using them. Also I won't use the Korda jobbies, personal reasons I don't use Korda, cheers.

Gardner bugs, occasionally use the add on weights when fishing at range.

nano bugs with cut down cords for slack lines.

Handy as I can swap between the two without changing the attachments.

I use Mk2 safeliners. They do everything I need them to, I've always liked the look of the ESP barrel bobbins as well.

ESP barrel bobbins. Nice and simple to use. You can screw on extra weight too.

I have been using solar titanium range for years more for long range than anything and found them great for tight line fishing really allowed you to put some tension in the line but I found them too heavy for slack lines. I have since brought some safeliner mk2 and I think there a great bit of kit. Due to the line being fixed in place any indication is registered on the alarm. Something I overlooked for years using normal clips as such. Great for searching fish out in winter with semi slack lines I will continue to use them for everything but long range

Elite drilled heads and ball clips with Matrix arms and multi-block for me,back up with Matrix Dinky heads and chains.Perfect for fishing under the tips or at short range.

Matrix dinky bodies with matching coloured solar ipro clips, and screw in weights from the delkim indicators.

They look a bit jazzy - can't claim credit, I pinched the idea off a chap on Instagram.

Safeliners look a bit sexy. Like the look of them. Gardner bugs and Fox sliks, that type of design doesn't interest me. But £25 a pop + add ons. Wowser! £75 + for bobbins

Drilled bullet leads covered by flouro sea fishing muppets, Dacron as links, oval sea rig rings covered in silicon tubing as line clips...... best 90's danglers ever 😂

Might have to go back to them......,
