Sidewinder bite indicator

[Stealph Viper]

I was actually thinking of using the Avon Top and not the Quiver top, but i take your point.

So i'll use my Power Waggler Rod.

Thank you

I was so impressed watching an old retired angler using a Sidewinder on our deep club waters,he was in a parrot cage swim feeder fishing in 20 odd feet of water where a swing tip would not be much use due to the angle of the line ,quiver tips are pulled downwards for the same reason.
He put together a good net of fish in a howling gale and the next day I ordered one ,have any of you guys used one..thanks

Hi yes i use the side winder quite regular, and i rate them much better than a quiver tip method, especialy when its windy, just dip the tip of the rod in the water and then you will get clear bite indicator.But what im trying to find out is , are the side winders better than a quiver tip on rivers ? as i have never used one on a river, it as always been on pools or still water.

I still use washing up liquid bottle tops. I find the yellow ones catch more fish than the red ones.
