I have just found a guy on ebay that does these brilliant flouro heads for a fiver.
I have been sorting a spare set up so i didnt have to keep swapping stuff from one rucky to the other but i didnt have a spare set of swingers.
It would have been easy enough to get a cheapo set of hangers but i have always had swingers so i wouldn't have been happy.
I had the larger bobbins made many years ago and when i was making up the new swingers i wasn't happy with the spare bobbins i had so when i found i could have the new ones tweaked to be a close match to my old ones i was well chuffed. So custom made for a fiver.
New isotopes and matrix line clips and now i can be a posh blanker 😎

Fallon Tackle, he's absolutely top draw. He had these yellow fluro bobbins kicking about in the back of his cupboard somewhere and I said I'd take them if he could drill some isotope slots into them.

Charged me £19.99 for the 3 delivered.

Love them 👍

Yes, thats the lad. His name is Graham.

Mine are the flouro green, very similar to yours depending on the ambient daylight.

The ones he does on ebay (in my link) are 35mm, but not long enough to have 25 x 3mm isotope in the centre drilled hole so i asked for them to be 38mm which are perfect once the swinger arm and line clip are screwed in.
Like i said, he was happy to change the dimensions to suit me at no extra cost.
Its a shame he isnt on facebook as he'd get so much more work.

They are very dark, will you be able t see the isotope light up much.


Thats why i like the light green flouro, they almost glow as it becomes dusk

I dont put isotopes in them. My delks have night lights. Never really saw the point of isotopes in bobbins if im honest as they dont really serve any purpose. I just likes the colour of the dark blues ones.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
