Product Information
Full details
The Avid Lok Down Bobbin Kit is a versatile bite indication system designed for carp anglers who demand precision at any distance, from intimate margins to long-range spots. Its primary benefit is the modularity it offers through multiple clip styles and weight adjustments, though users should note that the system requires careful storage to keep the memory-free Dacron cords organized. This all-inclusive kit features two bobbin head sizes, two interchangeable line clips, and adjustable weight options to ensure reliable bite registration in diverse fishing conditions.

Troubleshooting
Bobbin keeps falling off the line during a retrieve
Adjust the clip tension or ensure you are using the correct clip type for your line diameter.
Excessive bobbin movement in high wind
Add the 5g weight to the bobbin head or switch to the larger head size to increase stability.
Bobbin not registering drop-backs
Check that the line is properly seated in the clip and ensure the bobbin is positioned close enough to the alarm for immediate movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: select the appropriate cord length based on the height of your rod tips, attach the chosen bobbin head, and decide on the line clip configuration. Ensure the `Lok Down` screw mechanism is tightened securely to prevent the head from rotating during a take.
For care, rinse the bobbin heads in fresh water after use if you have been fishing in silty or weedy water. The Dacron cords are durable but should be kept free of grit to maintain their smooth movement. Always store the components in the provided storage box to protect the clips from damage during transit.
