Legering target boards?

[tincatinca]

Another method worth considering utilising the quiver tip principle is the Polaris Sidewinder. Very simple to use and allows one rod to be used for float fishing and ledgering which can be very usefull for example when river roving.

Their were very popular over in Ireland for very windy days, but its easier to cast if you just use a swinger.

Other than that they are closer to the angler and possibly easier to shield from the wind than a standard quiver tip Ive never really seen the point in the Sidewinder. Anyone who uses them care to comment?

Ive used one a few times, still got one somewhere.

 

For sensitivity i would put them behind swingtip and soft quiver tip. Like i said they are good for days when you are getting battered on big waters by wind and waves. If you point or rod straight at your feeder and have your rod tip under the water they stay nice and still. Probably helped because there isn't much loose line for the wind to catch.

The ones in the picture are waggler inserts but in use they would be a good bit shorter. What is also good is bobs made from cocktail sticks and painted up with a bit of dayglo paint. Small polyballs can also be used can also be used on the end of short sticks but I personally think that you can spot movement more easily if the bobs are straight.

squiare board

 

I`ll look at the weekend and see if i have any lurking around in me shed in the attik someware ,as i know i had a couple about 15 years ago ,so they should be up there someware being a practicle item i knew i`d find a use for one day ,(like everything else ,up there ,never throw owt away me!) ,if i find one your welcome too it .

 

Thankyou for that it's much appreciated.I have knocked one together for now but if you discover one you no-longer need........

The main reason for the quiver over a swingtip is because on the lake i mainly fish for them is relatively shallow and they really only come on the feed on overcast blustery/windy days.I have tried different methods and quivertip is the best method i have found that works for me.
