Hi all,

Just bought some new ATTS and looking for some recommendations of bobbins or swingers. I don't want anything super light and ideally with black chains/sticks.

I was originally looking at the ND T10 bobbins or the Fox Black Label Mini Swingers but me being indecisive, I change my mind every day!

I know that some may say that any indicators will do the job but any advice and recommendations are appreciated

True, I will probably end up in more of a dilemma after this.
Just looking for personal views or recommendations as there are 1000's out there

After years of buying plenty of options I have settled on Fox Mini Swingers and ESP Barrel Bobbins. Between these I cover all types of my fishing and as a bonus neither are expensive. I especially like the bobbins as they come with both short and long chains and weights for you to add or remove weight from the bobbin so give plenty of flexibility to adjust to the situation you are facing

My best advice would be to go for items with a 2ba thread?
This allows for mix & match chains,bobbins,swinger arms from more manufacturers.
Solar,Cygnet,Muddy waters,Matrix,Neville all use this thread size, only difference being that some use a female thread on the hockey stick, but you can get conversion kits/grub screws to fit?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
