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.
Designed with versatility in mind, these bite indicators are fully compatible with the K9 bite alarms and all other manufacturers’ bite alarms.
With no jack plugs or synchronisation, the T9 could be described as one of the most versatile and simplest bite indicators on the market.
Constructed in a highly visible body for ease of illumination, these indicators boast two visible modes for night indication. An easy to find large button activates either bite mode or hold mode, ensuring you see more from your indicators than before,.
Bait and time are the two biggest edges out there. Although my time is subject to certain commitments, bait is completely my choice.
I I have been using the Squid for over a year and my confidence it still growing. I have taken it to France, fished a 200-acre pit in Bedford and many day-ticket waters banking some great fish to just under 40lb.
Rods and reels can be described as the most important and crucial hardware an angler needs. Instead of just serving a purpose, it has been duly noted that we care what these items look like too.
Reels are great bank bling items. Aesthetics are important to many but what we feel the discerning carp angler wants is value for money and performance.
