The design of these indicator arms is simplicity itself, with a simple rubberised section fitting over either the hockey stick at one end or housing the bobbin thread at the other. I have to confess that I do not use Cygnet ‘hockey sticks’ because my hangers screw directly into my buzz bars, but I solve this with the addition of a converter thread, which Cygnet sells for very little money.

Back to the arms themselves and there are two lengths available, namely 4in and 6in, the former being my preference. The rubber section offers some flexibility but they remain extremely stable in windy conditions, surprisingly so in fact. With that simple design there is very little that can go wrong with these, especially compared to some other more complicated and often a lot more expensive models, yet they are just as effective. I also love the fact that they are so light and extremely easy to attach and remove.

MARC COULSON’s VERDICT “Decent, versatile arms that are easy to add and detach.”
