[quote davetclown]all indicators ice up in fridged weather, most of us just put our mouths over it or fingers to melt the ice. [/quote]
BTDT! [laugh] My custom poles have larger eyelets to prevent them from clogging.
[quote davetclown]Most reels have a leaver that stops back winding, I am not a big fan of back winding, "honestly, I never use that feature. [/quote]
I'm always open to trying something new, but "honestly", I'd agree with this preference! Thanks for the suggestions and links. [

[quote davetclown]now the best bite indicator I have seen, is the one a guy showed me on the lake, yes it is a wire, and you can buy them at the store, but the best ones are made by hand from gutar strings. it is the highest quality of spring steel available. Make a big loop at the end and use a double wire back to the rod. I will take a photo of the one I made and post it here next week. [/quote]
Please do! I understand the principle, but I need the visual. The solution I'd like to know especially is how a custom detector attaches to the pole. A big wad of grey tape isn't my preference... and given the toxicity of the glue, I wonder if it will compromise the graphite on the pole... [angelic]
