Dave are you a fan of the Fox mark II swingers... they can be set to light or heavy depending on where you put the weight.I have always used them since I got rid of the monkey climbers..lol...If so get on ebay as I picked up a set identical to the Fox ones for £20 brand new off ebay.Heres a link..

I am very impressed dave they are more or less the fox ones but instead of paying 15.99 each get 3 of your colour for about 20 notes..worth looking at mate...

Prefer hangers myself and am due a new set soon as well.
Have heard the defiant hangers take some beating, will be getting the banshee ones, may be worth a look instead of swingers?

i use solar hangers/swingers and yes i do reccomend them as u can quickly change it from a hanger to a swinger if needed plus if it breaks ( which none of mine ever have) you just need to replace the broken part and not all the swinger.

I have a set of the MkII Fox swingers they are great for fishing at distance on a tight line, also have a set of Nash backbitters they are great for slack line fishing and really give good indications.

Good point there, I remember having to use a baiting needle to get into the gap under the bite alarm the switch the alarms on when I had Fox swingers. I now have the Matrix hangers, happy with 'em
