TYPES OF ALARMS
Just a few years ago the only and most effective alarm device was a simple bell, which gave a signal at the slightest movement of the fishing line. Today a variety of alarm devices allows you to pick out the best option in terms of functionality and cost. There are the following types of alarms:
- mechanical – the group includes bats (or hangers), springers and swingers. Swingers are attached to the stand and signaling device, springers are fixed to the crossbar. Hungers are the lightest in the group, so they are used together with the line is not stretched without losing efficiency in use. if necessary, the device is equipped with a light;

THE PECULIARITIES OF THE USE OF ALARMS
Despite the advantages of each individual type of alarm device, professional fishermen recommend having several types of devices in stock and applying them depending on the conditions.
For example, in windy weather, rods should be placed horizontally, which reduces the likelihood of wind impact on the line. Mechanical signalers of pendulum type are ideal under such conditions.
When night fishing, at any time of year, it is recommended to use alarm devices with lighting. They do not require the use of additional energy, which allows you to maintain performance throughout the fishing trip.
Electronic devices are ideal for use in calm weather, but the area that you have little knowledge and need to determine the best places for biting. In this case you can move both along the shore and along the river without losing the effectiveness of the bite.
When selecting a sounder for personal use, it is recommended to pay attention to the conditions of use and its characteristics in order to make the best choice.
