Product Information
Full details
The Avid Revolve Bobbin Swinger Arm is designed for anglers who want precise control over their bite indication and the ability to customize their setup. Its key benefit is the adjustable 20g sliding weight, allowing anglers to fine-tune sensitivity for different fishing conditions. A potential caveat is that it's primarily designed to complement Avid Revolve Bobbin Kits, meaning optimal performance is achieved when used with compatible components.

FAQs
What is the weight of the sliding weight included with the swinger arm?
The Avid Revolve Bobbin Swinger Arm comes with an integrated 20g sliding weight.
Can I use this swinger arm with other brands of bite alarms?
The swinger arm features a standard thread for attachment, but it is specifically designed for optimal performance and compatibility with Avid Revolve Bobbin Kits. Performance with other systems may vary.
How do I attach the swinger arm to my setup?
The swinger arm typically screws into a rod rest head or buzzer bar, similar to other bite indicators. Ensure the connection is secure before use.
Is the sliding weight adjustable?
Yes, the 20g weight is designed to slide along the arm, allowing you to adjust the tension and sensitivity of your bite indication.
What does the black anodised finish provide?
The black anodised finish offers a durable, corrosion-resistant surface and a sleek, professional appearance.
Does this product include the bobbin head?
No, the Avid Revolve Bobbin Swinger Arm is the arm component only and is designed to be used with Avid Revolve Bobbin Kits, which typically include the head and chain/cord.
Troubleshooting
Swinger arm feels loose
Ensure the threaded connection is fully screwed into your rod rest or buzzer bar. Check for any debris in the threads that might prevent a secure fit.
Sliding weight is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the track of the sliding weight with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied sparingly if needed.
Inconsistent bite indication
Adjust the position of the 20g sliding weight to find the optimal sensitivity for current conditions. Ensure the line is running freely through the line clip and that there are no snags on the arm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Avid Revolve Bobbin Swinger Arm is designed for straightforward attachment to your fishing rod. It typically screws onto a rod rest head or buzzer bar. Ensure the connection is secure before casting.
Compatibility: This swinger arm is specifically designed to complement the Avid Revolve Bobbin Kits. While the threaded connection may fit other standard bite alarm systems, optimal performance and aesthetic matching are achieved with the Revolve series.
Care: To maintain its performance and appearance, rinse the swinger arm with fresh water after use, especially if exposed to saltwater or mud. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which could damage the anodised finish. Periodically check the sliding weight mechanism for smooth operation and clean if necessary.
