Quiver tip
The eyed tip of approximately 1–2 ft (300–610 mm) in length is attached as a detachable extension to the rod end via a put-in or screw-in method.The first type of bite occurs when the fish takes the bait and moves away from the fisherman, causing the line to tighten and pull on the quiver tip.The second type of bite occurs when the fish takes the bait and moves towards the fisherman causing the line to slacken and the quiver tip to drop back/straighten.Quiver tips are, relative to the rods which hold them, inexpensive and found in all coarse fishing tackle shops.For example, if British roach are being targeted on a still water in flat calm conditions, a quiver tip of a test curve of no more than an ounce would be a good choice.
