I used to use swingtip on still waters & quiver on rivers. You don't see many swing tipping nowadays, suppose its gone 'out of fashion'. Rolling Eyes

No Bazz, the swing tip is still there, its just been relocated to the butt and renamed "swinger", thereby allowing the line to pass over the alarm. Same principle but modified for the angler who likes to snooze. Sleep

It probably makes swinging the most popular form of spotting when you have a pull. cherry
