What is a bite alarm used for?
A bite alarm sits under the fishing rod and beeps when line moves. Carp and overnight bottom fishing.
How is a bite alarm different from similar gear?
Not a fish finder. A head that the line runs over; receivers can sit in a bivvy.
When should you use a bite alarm?
Use it on static rods when you are not holding the blank — nights, multi-rod carp, and long wait-baits.
What problems does a bite alarm solve?
It tells you a take when you are making tea or watching another rod, instead of missing a short run.
