Hello

Im looking for some springer tyoe indicator arms.

Im fishing at range and want a really heavy indicator but instead of using additional weights im told the springer type arm is the better option.

Any idea where I can get some from.

Thanks

Solar Titanium are fantastic, used both long and short arm versions

Short ones are quite stiff but long ones are great and you can get a nice bend in them

Fox euro swinger.... not cheap but very effective for the situation you describe.

I use the older style Solar Spring Lock Quiver arms, see eBay. You can change the tension they apply by inserting different diameter wires. I bought a selection of nitinol wires so I can alter the tension a lot.

Solar. I still use the original solar springers.
But the new stuff from solar looks good.
I did look at other systems a few years ago but managed to get some spares on eBay

I've used the Solar Titanium's for the last couple of years and I really like them.
I use them for shorter range too with only a very slight bend in the arm.

I have Solar titanium arms, they do everything literally you need for indication, springs, slack line etc for me personally they're excellent
