What are Swingers ?
Swingers have no pole or their own un-like a monkey climber, the swinger is connected to the front bank stick or rod pod.. The line then runs from the bank stick (electronic bite indicator can be used hear) and down to the swinger. and is clipped in to the end of the swinger arm. When you get a run the swinger will rise. Alternately if the fish runs towards you it will fall thus indicating that your line suddenly went slack. This downward swing is important as it pulls some line in and thus set off the electronic buzzer. Without one,, the electronic device would give no signal if the line went slack. (For this purpose the older monkey climber could be used) My impression of quiver type swinging indicators is that they are really meant for long range type. On the other hand if you don’t already have a swinger type indicator I’d just go ahead and spend the few extra bucks for the dual purpose one’s. If you already have a swinger type indicator you can easily make a quiver type indicator
