I always smile when someone says buy this piece of kit and then gives a name of a manufacturer as well --
Not getting at anyone it's a feature of Society today I'm afraid
got loads of cupping kits well at least 4 different makers ones
BUT the best ones I've got are home made
the main two are lids of quite large aerosol cans
one is simply made by putting a thin cut (using a junior hacksaw then tidying the slit up with Stanley) through the top on the closed end so it presses on to the top of the pole and is used as above
the second is an identical lid with 2 paper clips
-one either side to act as sliders for 2 swivels which are fastened up together with some 18lb line and a snap swivel added at the top to clip it to the stonfo of the pole you are using
on one side of the pot a couple of double swan shot are Araldited on so that when it's lowered on to the waters surface it tips up and empties itself
Cost
2 paper-clips "borrowed" from work about 20 years ago and 2 shot with a blob of Araldite
no need for separate pole sections as cupping kits either
