Hi guys I'm after some new bobbins but there is so many out there to choose from, I thought I would see what's popular on here and why.
Thanks

Just go with what suits your needs and likes. After many different tries and not being happy I've ended up with Cygnet short pivot arms with Korda Stows, that for me is spot on

I use indicators from the Defiant MPS range. Have used hawk hangers, twitchers and scorpions for over 6 years now with their Mk 1 Mag Heads. Well made and functional. Will probably outlast me. Like the versatility of them with the quick change fittings so I can switch types in seconds and Keith has been great to deal with. British made and built to last.
Hawk hangers - my go to for probably 90% of fishing. Link hanger with mag head. Very visible with isotopes in and faultless in time I have had them. Can swing around in wind a lot so if I get annoyed with any bleeps I would switch to the scorpions.
Scorpions - bit of a revelation. Use them when fishing at range with a carbon insert to provide tension. Like the idea that on a run the tension increases, hopefully further ensuring the hook sets. Without the insert they are like a normal hanger system but most importantly windproof so no annoying beeps whatever the conditions.
Twitchers - don't get so much use out of these really. Mainly use at close range when I want ultra slack lines but don't want the hangers lying on the floor. Have a limited range of movement but can be set to offer no resistance at all which is when I have used them.
Rate their gear so much I actually have a set of banshees and some different coloured heads on the way to me in the post now (don't need them but why not!)

I use these Solar Short arm indicator (click here)
You do have to buy the heads separately.
I have found that with the Titanium indicator I have a swing arm or quiver type indicator suitable for all my needs.

Another one for the solar titanium I have the long arm ones the best indicator I have used hands down.

The stows are superb in the right situation , I have a couple of sets , there are more ‘complete scenario' indicators out there though as well like the solar ones mentioned which I own and are a superb bit of kit , the solar indicators will do everything apart from if you want a very subtle indicator , that's where the stows come in

Keith's (MPS) mag heads are brilliant
