Been looking at the add on rod line clips available.
Has anyone used the Gardner Tackle Sensi Clips (Rod Line Clips) - Any good or not?
The Delkin ones are probably better but much more expensive.

The 0-Rings on the Gardner ones tend to go walkies.
I've tried a few different types and agree with Goose, the Solar ones are by far the best.

Solar ones are fine but can be a pain to get line into when hands are cold and position you use them in is limited by your rod blanks thickness. The Delkim ones are great if you don't need a clip that holds the line tight and fit anywhere on the rod. I use both mentioned and prefer the Delkim. Don't think £15 for a set of 3 is over the top tbh...
Cant say what they're like as I've never used them but Cygnet do some similar to the Solar clips with isotope slots pack of 3 for around 6/7 quid

I've used the cygnet ones for a couple of seasons, they were OK, did what was asked of them and at the price you can't go wrong.

I use the solar ones , they do the job. With the delkims I found the line can catch on them when casting as they protrude a bit.

Do Defiant still do Spiro's? Twist around the blank like a coil and clip line under the end. Brilliant idea!

easy fix...rotate them so clips on opposite side of blank. Ive been using the Fox clip on clips. no sharp edges and grip the line nicely.

Yep defiantly the best Rod line clip there is, totally faultless
I actually give them away with Indicator orders FOC, until the bucket full of them runs out that is.
~ The Chicken ones are way to big a diameter for Rods (Unless your using old Beach Casters that is) Off memory they are the Quail ones.
Problem is you have to order in the 100's, many keep asking me to start selling them again.
~ I even have them fitted on some of my highly valuable vintage Split Cane Rods, I would not trust any other line clips on them.

Been using the Solar clips for decades, perfect for me. Never had a issue with them being difficult to get the line under, just slide them down the blank a bit, but I can imagine some blanks being a bit 'inbetween' clip sizes.
