Avid Carp Lok Down Bobbin Kits

Avid’s versatile Bobbin Kits offer all you need for bite indication - and for just £9.99!

With these Lok Down Bobbin Kits, Avid have created an adaptable product that is equally effective when fishing at long-range as it is when fishing under your rod tips in the margins.

Each kit features a Large and a Small bobbin head, and there are also two different line attachments and two different lengths of memory-free Dacron cord. The traditional ball clip line attachment is a classic design that carp anglers have successfully used for many years. It allows the line to run through the clip when you get a take. The other option that comes supplied with the kits is one of Avid’s Yin Yang clips, which initially looks just like a stubbier version of the traditional ball clip. However, thanks to its interlocking design, these clips can grip the line to give you much more sensitive bite indication.

Your choice of ‘drop’ on the bobbin is dictated by which length of Dacron you opt for - both 6in and 9in versions are supplied in each kit - and you can also change between a taller and a shorter bobbin head.

One final alteration can be made by adding the supplied 5g screw-on weight, which is great for adding a bit of stability in strong winds, or providing more resistance against undertows. It’s also a handy addition when fishing bow-string tight lines to Zigs, for example.
There are six different colour options available: White, Blue, Green, Purple, Orange and Red.
