More about Swingers
In fishing, swingers are a type of bite indicator used to detect when a fish takes the bait. They are commonly used in carp fishing, where the angler needs to detect small and subtle movements of the bait. A Swinger consists of a pivoting arm that hangs down from the fishing rod, and a weight on one end and an adjustable clip on the other end. The clip holds the line, and when a fish takes the bait, the weight of the Swinger causes the arm to pivot upwards, signaling to the angler that there is a bite.
Swingers come in a range of designs, from simple and basic to more sophisticated models with adjustable sensitivity and different color-coded indicators. They can be particularly useful for carp anglers fishing at night or in low-light conditions, where it can be difficult to detect subtle movements of the line. By using a Swinger, the angler can easily detect a bite and respond quickly, increasing their chances of catching fish.
