Drop off indicators

[David Schofield]

I’ve been stuck in the house with a cold(not Covid) so I decided to sort my fishing tackle out and noticed my drop off indicators were looking old so instead of buying some I thought I’d have a go at making some, here’s the end product, not bad for a first attempt

Cheers Mike can’t wait to try them out

They look great. Very professional job. They’ll be great for open bail dead bait fishing

Proper job Put mine to shame
My drop offs are all homemade , none of them
Match and they look pitiful but they do the job safely . I swear by the Gardner line clip with the brass tensioning screw when using braid.
Are the type you use ok with braid?
I have had a few issues with similar types to the ones in the pics in that they can trap thicker braid and not drop off cleanly
Not normally an issue but when it’s cold and fish torpid they don’t always scream off and can engulfe the bait on the spot so I like mine set as sensitive as possible
Genuinely curious as the Gardner clips are quite difficult to get now and always looking for an alternative

Hi Paul, I’ve used 80lb braid with the matrix line clips for pike fishing for years and never had a problem mate

I’ve been playing again I decided to do some made of polished stainless steel with a stainless head on
