Product Information
Full details
The Korda Basix Mini Stow Bobbin is an essential tool for carp anglers who require a compact, highly versatile bite indication system. Ideal for those who frequently switch between fishing tight and slack lines, this bobbin offers reliable line release and seamless integration with a wide variety of bite alarms. While it is engineered for precision and adaptability, users should note that the unit is miniaturized for portability, meaning it may require specific weight configurations to perform optimally in high-wind conditions.

FAQs
Does the bobbin come with an isotope?
No, the bobbin is designed to accommodate a Mini Isotope, but the isotope itself must be purchased separately.
Will this work with my Delkim alarm?
Yes, the detachable connector system allows for adjustable length, making it compatible with most Delkim bite alarms.
Can I use it for long-range fishing?
You can, but you will likely need to add extra weight from the Stow range to ensure the line remains taut and the bobbin stays stable.
Is the hockey stick included?
Yes, every Korda Basix Mini Stow Bobbin comes with its own dedicated moulded hockey stick.
How do I clean the bobbin?
Simply rinse it with clean, warm water and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic or stainless steel.
Troubleshooting
Line releases too easily from the clip
Ensure the side clip is free of debris; wipe with a damp cloth. Check that the line is seated correctly in the center of the clip.
Bobbin is too sensitive to wind
Add one or more 6g or 8g Stow Overweights to increase mass and stability.
Chain is too long for the alarm setup
Utilize the detachable connector system to shorten the chain length to the desired position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely compact and lightweight design for easy storage
- Works perfectly with both slack and tight line setups
- Highly compatible with major bite alarm brands
- Supports night-time visibility through isotope inserts
- Simple, tool-free adjustment of the chain length
Cons
- Standard weight may be too light for extreme long-range fishing
- Miniaturized size can be difficult to see at great distances
- Requires additional Overweights for heavy wind conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: Attach the included moulded hockey stick directly beneath your bankstick or buzz bar alarm thread.
- Connecting: Clip the stainless steel ball chain into the hockey stick connector. Adjust the length by selecting the appropriate link points.
- Compatibility: The system is designed to be universal; however, for Delkim alarms, ensure the chain length is adjusted to allow the bobbin to hang clear of the alarm's main body.
- Weighting: Thread the stainless steel weight onto the bobbin body. If conditions dictate more weight, remove the stock weight and replace it with the 6g or 8g Overweight accessory.
- Maintenance: Rinse the bobbin and chain with fresh water after sessions in silty or muddy environments to prevent grit from entering the line clip. Store in a dry place to maintain the finish of the stainless steel components.
