Darkening up the banks
Fox have yet again put the cat amongst the pigeons with a new collection of bite indicators to complement the Black Label range
Essentially there are various styles of heads, arms, chains and clips, but brilliantly they all interlink, allowing you to customise your whole bite indicator set-up.
1. Black Label Titanium Quiver Arms
The Black Label badge is synonymous with infusing high design into everyday angling objects; these Quiver Arms prove that. Made from titanium wire, which impart tension onto your main line, giving you unbelievable bite indication. Fox has also released arms made with wire of different diameters, each of which does a slightly different job for you. The Super Soft is for short-range work, the Medium for - shock - medium/long-range work, and the Stiff for extreme-range.
£5.99
2. Snag Ear & Adjustable Hockey Stick
Say au revoir to your chunky, bulky snag ear/hockey stick combo: Fox’s new combo keeps everything neat, tidy and minimal. The matt black anodised plate features an integrated adjustable hockey stick, whilst the rubber overmoulds on the fully removable ears offer protection to your rods.
£18.49
3. Black Label Stealth Bobbin
This featherweight bobbin may only weigh a teeny 5g, but its tiny body is packed with clever features. The machined aluminium section is slotted to allow the isotope to glow through, and the Slik Bobbin Clip can be fished running or fixed to the line for extreme sensitivity. Sold complete with a machined aluminium hockey stick and soft Dacron cord which you can cut down should you wish.
£13.00
4. Black Label Dumpy Bobbins
Few indicators, short, fat, tall, thin or otherwise, look better than these multi-weighted bobbins. On the outside they have old-school appeal that’s skin deep, but look a little closer and you’ll see they’re as cutting-edge as some bite alarms. Supplied with a brass weight insert that can be added to the body (which weighs 13g) to bring the total weight to 20g. Plus, the unique indented cap is removable, allowing you to perfectly align the line clip and isotope window.
£14.99
5. Black Label Ball Clips
Not only can you transform how your bobbins look, but you can also tweak their performance by opting for either a fixed or pivoting ball clip. They’re available in seven different colours, so if you’re that way inclined you can match them to your bobbins and alarms - or just go rogue and mix them up!
£4.99 and £5.99
6. Black Label Adjustable Hockey Stick
These bomb-proof injection-moulded plastic hockey sticks let you adjust their angle in an instant - a particularly useful tweak when you’re using quiver arms, as it helps you dictate the tension. They also look mint when combined with all the other black stuff!
£4.99
7. Black Label Adjustable Rod Clips
Fox’s (or anyone’s come to think of it) cleverest rod clip to date. The fully adjustable tension dial lets you really crank the tension up with quiver style bobbins, or to increase the sensitivity of your traditional hangers. That on-demand customisability means they’ll hold lines of wildly varying diameters too. Two per pack.
£7.99
8. Black Label Chain Link
Your paint-chipped bobbin chains are looking tired - so freshen them up with a new set of six-inch black anodised link chains. Ideal for short- to medium-range fishing.
£4.99
9. Black Label Stealth Cord
For the ultimate when it comes to an ultra lightweight set-up. The six-inch, memory-free super soft Dacron cord can be cut down to whatever length you require.
