Catching fish with a fishing rod or bottom tackle involves focusing on floats, bells and other simple devices, thanks to which it can be understood that the alleged prey grabbed the bait. This makes them keep in sight and constantly stay close to fishing equipment so as not to miss the bite. But what if you need to go away for a while or do other urgent things, for example, cooking soup? There is a way out - electronic bite alarms. They are also indispensable for night fishing.
Operating principle
Bite alarms are complex devices that give the fisherman a light or sound signal that the moment of hooking has arrived. A lot of their models are presented on the market. The fisherman has the opportunity to choose your favorite bite signaling device, but first of all you need to pay attention to the methods of operation and fastening. Well, for the price, of course. Some are attached directly to the rod and are triggered by vibration when biting, while the second react to the broaching line.
Signaling devices "Megateks"
These electronic bite alarms are among the latest developments in Russian technology. The device is a cylinder (a little more than a fountain pen). It is controlled by a single button. Electronic bite alarms are easily mounted anywhere on the rod and have five trigger modes. The fourth and fifth levels are mainly intended for ice fishing, as they trigger with a slight movement of a nod. Of great importance is the low power consumption of the indicator. Warranty for five years from a single charge. The case is tight and works in any weather. When biting, a sound signal is turned on. At the same time, the LED lights up. This is enough to attract the attention of the fisherman.
Signalers Carp Academy
These electronic bite alarms are more complex and expensive. They are triggered by pulling the fishing line. Consider a mid-range appliance. It includes four analyzer sensors and a pager triggered at a distance of up to one hundred and fifty meters. The sensors are equipped with sound and LED alarms in different colors, as well as a radio transmitter.
The signaling device is packed in a special moisture-proof plastic case, padded with dense foam with nests. Such packaging perfectly protects the sensors from rough mechanical influences, while maintaining the operability of the device.
When using this indicator, the rod as such is not required. Sensors with threaded connections are mounted on metal rods, behind which there is a reel with a supply of fishing line. The fishing line itself is passed into an eye located in the upper part of the sensor, and a sinker is suspended between it and the coil.
When pulling fishing line from the reel towards the pond, the sensor turns on its individual sound signal and lights up the LED. In the event that the fish pulls the bait to the shore, the sinker sags, and a signal of a different tone is triggered. So even by these signs, the angler can judge the nature of the bite. Each sensor is individually programmed, and by the nature of the sound signal, you can accurately find out which of the sensors was triggered.
