Looking for some new bobbins, have previously used Fox Black Label Silk and found them too light.
Switched over to Nash Slap Head with Strong Arms and like them but want to move away from the arms as just a pain screwing them in every-time so ideally just want to have chains. Also i want the chains to be longer than what seems to be standard these days with the likes of Korda stow bobbins.

These will be used with the Nash R3's so screw straight onto them rather than hockey sticks

Any help / suggestions appreciated.

Hi mate, i have the korda black and whites in small, they are quite light but you do get add on weights with them and 2 lengths of chain, i have the r3s but i dont screw them into the alarm head, i put the bung in the threads and use the korda hockey stick, i never de attach the bobbins i just wrap them around my buzz bars when not in use but they do have a quick attachment system, hope this helps

The Black & Whites rust. I'd not recommend them at all.

Why not get the chains for the slap heads?

Looking at the solar titaniums, expensive but look very versatile, any users on here?

Do you possibly know the three type of ESP?

I think the white ones are heavier at 6 9 and 12g with plastic at something like 3 6 And 9g

I use them, after having the solar quiver-locs for years and then getting suckered into buying some stows. Really like them, they do everything I need and I can read what the indication is pretty well

I use the short arm Titaniums for my fishing, love them. They can be set up tight for tight line fishing, or at maximum drop for running leads and slack lines.

Mine do also get used for specimen roach and bream fishing as well as carp.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
