I would have said the defiant MPS warlock, but they are no longer listed on the website.

I've got a set of the M.R. Twitcher on order to see how good those are...

What range are you fishing?

I'd certainly have a look at the Cygnet pivot arms if I were you. I use these a lot and they are spot on. Great at neutralising wind interference and they are not expensive and you can match them up with your own heads👍

I've been using the fox mini swingers since they came out and think they're absolutely great....not exactly tarty but hey ho they do the job really well.

In fact the only time I don't use them is when I use my fox quiver arms for distance and zig fishing

I've got the fox black label mini swinger, been very happy with them. Can pick them up pretty cheaply compared to other solid arm offerings.

Have a look at the Gardner ones
Small enough to tuck in a bag pocket just in case...

Yes, even mod winds, I've used many indicators over the years, Inc the original swingers, and those apart, have found UNLESS clipped up tight, in any crosswind its either turn your sensitivity right down low, or put up with false bleeps.
Thanks for all replys, I'm going for the cygnet ones, solar look great but big £ I'm not spending.

Yes I use the cygnet pivot arms, for the money they are very good,I fish large windy pit...normally at range, they eliminate wind bleeps big time compare to my previous chain setup...

I always fish tight lines and these are ideal for this as well...
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
