quiver tip

quiver tip
a very flexible and therefore sensitive tip on the end of a fishing rod used to indicate bites when ledgering, q.v. It may be spliced on, a screw in tip that fits into a special end eye on the rod, or a push in tip that is pushed onto the end of the rod. The quiver tip is set up at a right angle to the line with a slight bend in it attained by tightening the line. If the fish pulls it bends the tip further, if it swims towards the rod the tip straightens out. A black target board with white stripes can be placed on a separate stick behind the quiver tip. It enables the angler to spot any slight tip movement and protects the tip from wind
