Good Morning all,

I currently have the ESP Barrel bobbins for my carp fishing and i am tempted to upgrade them as they.

I like the JAG gear but their safeliners dont seem to be anything special at the price.

I was wondering if there was a "go to" that this forum recommended?

Thanks,

Daniel

I have not yet, bobbins tend to get little attention when it comes to marketing so i will be looking at what people here recommend

I thought the JAG were rubbish.

There are worth a look: Custon Reel King Bobbins

Probably no help but I replaced my esp ptfe bobbins with solar titanium arms and bobbins but never really liked the solar bobbins so am now using the esp ones on solar arms and much prefer them. Have tried several different types but always go back to the esp ones.

Why did I want to start typing by stating I'm older...fgs..I was young once and the fish don't care

Solar Penny whistles, mine are over 30 years old, fished with solar ball head, mostly for tension work where weight isn't a consideration for me.

Keith at Defiant MPS kindly made me up some mini mag heads based on the old Solar plastic penny whistle thin type design, love them (note Keith said at your own risk as being so small they could be prone to cracking, they haven't touch wood)

Before that I had the Cygnet Clinga Lite, very much on a similar vein to the old solar (I like thin bobbins). They weren't made by Cygnet back them, wth was their name, I have Muddy Disco stuck in my head for some reason, someone let me know.

I like the look of the stainless Safeliners, better visbility for the isotope, but I'm sentimental about my pennies

The Defiant MPS range looks interesting, his website leaves a lot to be desired however.

His stuff is lovely and thankfully he seems not to be a social media loves type.

That's the one, thank you

Very true, that sums up Keith .

his website leaves a lot to be desired however.
As Keith would probably say, you've got a phone haven't you

You could go over to an Arm type indicator.
Just out of interest, what didn't you like about the ESP?
