I was quivertipping the other day and detecting bite indication was comical.
I took a slightly too light tip, and my rod isn't really a "heavy" feeder rod so I was on 45 grams in the slacks - so the tip was rising and falling steadily but you can see the bites as they are sharp pulls and rattles (or slack line)

I almost exclusively fish with a hair rig so don't get overly concerned about striking, but admitadley this is a bad habit, and probably wrong. In the Spring I'd like to change this.
@Colin_the_Bald thanks for the tip. So far all my river ledgering has been with my 1.75tc John Wilson Avon rod which I always think is super delicate but good to know I can go slightly heavier with the leads.

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong, thanks for the tip. I was quivertipping the other day and detecting bite indication was comical.
