MKII Mag Heads

MKII Mag Heads

It had to be something rather special to replace the MKI Mag Head, but the MKII’s design represents a massive leap forward!

These represent British Innovation at its very best, designed from scratch over many months of hard work (Not only the MKII thou, the MKIII & MKIV have also been designed for when required) True Innovation - not just "thieved" as some sad companies have to do!

 

Fitted with *Twin Opposing Impulse, Magnetic Line Clips, these combined are stronger by a factor of  X 4 compared to MKI Mag Head's.

 

These allow the MKII to be used in a multitude of ways, listed below are 3 basic ways -

 

~ Line fitted to top Clip only (as a MKI Mag Head)

 

~ Line fitted through both Clips to provide a 2 stage release (“Click, Click and free”)

 

~ Line fitted in a figure of “S” shape, to allow totally safe Slacklining with the Indicator set in a “U” shape as normal. This mode can be used either Alarm or Reel side of the Indicator.

 

 MKII Mag Head fitted to a HG Hawk Seamless S/less Steel Chain "Slacklining!

 

The 2 Part Body Shell is made from expensive Acrylic (You won’t see any “cheapo” PTFE near these!) The Central 32x10mm Crystal Acrylic Body Stem, houses both Magnetic Line Clips and the Isotope Chamber in it's base. Designed to fit 15x3mm MPS White Isotopes. It's impossible to loose Isotopes as the Indicator's threaded Stud Blanks the Chamber off  (Standard MPS Thread)

 

Now the other clever bit! Available in 12 interchangeable colours – the body stem has been designed to allow Coloured Shrouds to be fitted, which take seconds to change.  After intensive tests - White Isotopes have been chosen, as these will “Light Up” all 12 Shrouds/Body Stems the best when fitting just one colour Isotope.

Just think about it – you buy one complete MKII Mag Head with Shroud; fit a MPS 15 x 3mm White Isotope. Then when you feel like a change, change the colour for just £1.50! and not even have to spend your hard earned dosh on more Isotopes!

  "MG" Banshee Hanger (Medium Gauge)

New piccy to follow

During 2004 MPS was inundated with requests for a "Hanger" type of indicator. So The first version of the Banshee Hanger was designed.The cord used was of a radical new design, being made from 1.5mm thick woven 316 Grade Austenitic Stainless Steel. As smooth as silk, supple, but with a little springiness,with a breaking strain in excess of 135kg! As with all the 3 Banshee versions it's as windproof as your going to get!

 "HG" Banshee Hanger  (Heavy Gauge)

The "HG" Banshee Hanger was designed for two situations only - Long Range and Snag fishing. But has also proved very effective used at close range, by setting the rod tips as low as possible, and using the extreme tension to “Bury” the line into the Lake bed.

With a 3mm thick woven 316 Grade Austenitic Stainless Cord - 6" long as standard. Giving a Bow string tight tension to the main line be it Mono or braid thanks to the poweful fully self-adjusting Magnetic Line Clip

Line clips must be fitted to the Rod in order to get this chord into a nice "U" shape, and stop "Creep back. It is also strongly advised, to make sure nothing is in the way that the MKII Multi-head can hit when it hurtles backward when you get a take! (Pipe lagging around areas the Multi-Head can hit is advisable)

These are a “No mercy” Indicator, and if set up correctly the most efficient I have ever used; It’s very rare you miss anything that picks up the Hook bait with these!

Fitted with 32x20mm MKII Multi-heads as standard in any colour.

Price £17.00 each + Postage

HG Banshee chords are also available separately in 6" & 9" lengths. Fitted with a MPS Stainless Quick Release fitting at one end and a 2BA Stud at the other. At request 2BA Studs at each end. 

Price £7.00 each + Postage




The Scorpion Indicator

New piccy to follow

The first indicator MPS ever designed, a ground breaking design which gives two types of indicator all in one unit. Without a rod fitted into the chamber of the stainless steel armoured tube you have a stable "hanger" type indicator, then if you insert the rod into the chamber you have an instant "tension arm" indicator.

The MKII has  improvements on the original , a micro ball joint is now used to fit the Multi-Head allowing 360 Degrees of rotation plus allows the Multi-head to self level and also makes alignment with the line easy to achieve.

The expensive Industrial Quick Release Fittings have been retained due to customer demand! so as the Laser cut stainless steel buzzer fitting.

Now fitted with MKII Mag Heads as standard in any of the 12 interchangable colours

Price  £20.00 Each + Postage




The Warlock

New piccy to follow

The Warlock was designed with the help of MPS customer Jason Hayward.

Sadly the Warlock after many years of faultless service has become somewhat “redundant” since the development of the MKII Mag Head. But for customers who like Swinger type Indicators the Warlock will continue to be made.

As its precise limited Carbon Arm movement, does allow for numerous Indication settings only a Warlock can give.

 

Fitted with 6” Carbon Arms as standard, plus a sliding weight for use as a “standard Swinger”. Precision Ball Joints at both ends of the Carbon Arm provide 360 degree of Rotation for both the Arm and the Mag Head – Warlocks basically set themselves!

It was found during field-testing that when "Slack lining" the best and safest Lead set up was a Heavy Running Lead (4 or 5oz) As this gives an "Anchor point" for which the slack line can be tighten up from = Indication  So what ever direction the Fish swims - you will get the Warlock Arm flying upwards, providing accurate indication.

 Semi-fixed Lead set -ups proved to be just too dangerous, as the fish can swim straight at you! Dragging the Lead along and just doubling the line up, not tightening it at all  = no Indication  

Now fitted with MKII Mag Heads as standard in any of the 12 interchangable colours

Price £19.00 + postage

 

Warlock Extension Kit

Extended Brackets allow Warlocks to be used as a very effective Drop-off type Indicator for Pike fishing etc..

MKI Mag Heads 

17x10mm Mag  Heads (Weight = 1. 5 Gram)

I think the 1p shows just how small these are- these must be the smallest/lightest weight  Indicator head ever made, and don't forget the line clip is built inside also!  For very light weight Indication these are Ideal.

32x10mm Mag Heads (weight = 3 Gram)

A 15x3mm Isotope can be fitted inside the central chamber ,which can then be seen from any position. 

32x15mm Mag heads (Weight = 6. 5 Gram)

A 15x3mm Isotope can be fitted inside the central chamber ,which can then be seen from any position.

The MkI Mag Head was the very first Magnetic line clip mechanism in the World, which works by means of a micro Neodymium Magnet which provides the "Pull force" for the single Semi-Stainless Ball Bearing . It has proved to be a 100% reliable design with Braid & Mono. There's no messing about setting the clip as it is Pre-set via the Magnet.

17x10mm   price £5.00 each

32x10mm   price £6.50 each

32x15mm   price £6.50 each
