Fox
Micro Swinger
£ The
new version of the original Swinger has been re-designed for fans of
compact indicators. Featuring a shorter stainless arm, re-styled
attachment facility, re-styled swinger head and the latest low friction
line gate mechanism, it’s the neatest swing arm indicator on the
market. I
particularly like the sliding weight on the bar, this allows me to
change the weight of my bobbins without having to screw in new bits or
remove sections. On
a summers day I can set the indicators as light as possible, for maximum
indication, but if a breeze starts kicking up I can slide the weight to
the swinger head end and have a nice heavy bobbin. There
is room for an isotope, so at night it will be an easy process judging
which rod is belting off, this has been a real help on many occasions,
as when you're a bit bleary eyed you might strike into the wrong rod. The
price is terrific for what you get, they aren't a horrible and
cumbersome bobbin like many on the market, and more than adequately do
their job. Similar
models, with a heavier sliding weight for those who like to fish at
extreme range abroad, are available from Fox too, but at a much heftier
some. The
Fox Micro Swinger is available in four different colours; blue, red,
yellow and green, so whether you want different swingers on each rod or
a matching set, you can do so, and at a good price. for those who like to be versatile, and for those who like the look of a neat and tidy swinger system, then these babies really are for you. Mathew Wodds |
