i have 2 that are made by D-A-M, we use them for catfishing in the spring, we fish at night so it lets us know when there's a bite... has a couple different settings for volume and tone aswell so we don't get all confused about who's is going off, of course it has lights that light up but really who wants to turn their heads if they ain't got a bite lol

 

we got the cheap pro-tronic cause we don't use it much... think i paid $20 a piece for them, retail is around $25-$30 i think...

I just inherited an older model of a carp bite alarm from a new friend and it works great!!!

 

I phoned Fishing World in Hamilton and theirs sell anywhere from $45 up to $500 (too much for my limited budget) so the price of mine was just right (free)...

 

Fortunately, another friend had an extra bankstick that it fit and he was kind enough to give it to me...

 

Carp fishing can be a long wait between "bites" so the alarms can be a big help in avoiding a numb bum...

 

What do carp fishermen do when the 'Bite" is not on...

 

Why they stand around shooting the bull of course...Or take pics...
