Bite indicators and alarms help detect line movement when rods are resting on supports. They are especially useful for bottom, feeder and carp fishing.
Electronic or mechanical indicator?
Electronic alarms use sound and often light to signal line movement, while mechanical indicators provide a visual indication of changes in line tension. The two types can be used together.
Which features are useful?
Depending on the model, volume, tone and sensitivity may be adjustable. For alarm sets with a receiver, consider communication reliability and battery type.
How should alarms be mounted?
Install alarms on a stable rod pod, bank stick or other suitable support and make sure the rod and line can move correctly through the indicator.
