Skeater Deadbait Backdropper
Product Information
Skeater's Deadbait Backdropper is a sensitive bite indicator for deadbait fishing, made to show cautious predator takes, including pike, that may not register when the fish picks up bait without swimming off.
It attaches to the rear bankstick with a secure clam-lock connection that fits nearly any bankstick diameter. The red translucent body clips onto the line, while its free-moving arm shows movement as a predator swims towards or away from the rod.
A finely adjustable plastic line clip holds the line at the correct tension while allowing it to move freely without resistance. It is sensitive to both forward and backward bite indications.
