In addition, the bait detector on the electronic feeder can be a real find for a fiver-novice, who has not yet had time to properly deal with all the subtleties of the reaction of this gear to the behavior of the fish. It is enough to combine it with the rod, choose the desired setting - and know yourself, wait for the signal, doing your own thing. When the fish bite, the alarm will notify the fisherman with an audible or light sign or even send a notification to a special pager. The device operates on batteries such as "Krona" or "finger".

Types of electronic alarms

Today, there are two main types of electronic signaling devices on sale: vibrating or pulling lines and responding to the vibration of the rod.

The most widespread and popular was the bait detector on the feeder, which has the form of a stand for the rod. The device itself (work unit) is mounted on a metal pin that is pushed into the ground at the fishing site. The rod is installed in the opening of the signaling device, and the line is passed into a special slot with a roller and a sensor for its rotation.
