Electronic sound bite alarm. DIY bite alarms: materials and tools for manufacturing

All fishermen know how important it is to notice a bite in time and prepare for hooking. Today the market offers a very large selection of different alarms and floats. But, if you make a signaling device with your own hands, you can get a very high-quality product without spending a cent. The signaling device is quite simple to make and the work, moreover, does not take much time to make.

Bite alarm. Manufacturing.

In order to start making a bite alarm, you need to prepare the following materials:
- Wire.
- Cambric (2 pcs).
- Pliers.
- Stationery knife or scissors.

It only takes 15 minutes to make a bite alarm.

So, let's get started.
First you need to take a wire, the length of which should depend on the size of the fishing rod to which it will be attached. Approximately, you can take about 30 cm. In principle, it does not matter what material is taken for this work. If you take strong steel wire, it will be difficult to work with. That is why in this example we use the most common aluminum wire, because it is soft and durable.

Now you need to take the cambrics. This is necessary so that this design holds well and the fishing thread does not get stuck in the alarm. By the way, you don’t need to buy cambrics in a store, because this is exactly the thing that you always have quite a lot on hand.

For example, you can take any cable you have at home that will fit in diameter and remove part of its insulation. For this homemade product, it would be best to take a cable from a satellite or television antenna. Now you need to cut off part of the cable with scissors or cut the insulation with a stationery knife and remove it.

After the cambric is ready for use, you need to cut a large piece into two parts, because this is the number of parts you will need for the job.

Now we need to return to the wire. It is necessary to bend one end of it exactly as shown in the photo below. The curved part will be attached to the rod. This is why one of its edges is rounded. The bottom of the wire should be left flat. It is necessary to make a bend in such a way that its edge extends to the base of the alarm, in order to secure the whole thing with a cambric after some time.

After the work has been done, it is necessary to immediately put two cambrics on the existing structure.

Now you need to bend the edge of the wire on the other side, while the eyelet you make should be directed upward. Next, you need to bend the wire in the other direction, compared to the first. You need to bend it just a little bit, just enough to create a second ring.

So, now you can make the second ring, This time you need to make a completely round shape. You also need to leave a little wire that is adjacent to the base of the alarm and secure it with a second cambric.

Next, you need to put on cambrics to clamp both sides. So, now you can see the finished product, which you just need to attach to your fishing rod.

For such a product, you can use thicker wire to make the structure even stronger and more reliable.

To attach this alarm, you simply need to remove the cambrics and attach the first bend to your rod (to the first big ring), And through the second you need to pass a fishing thread.

When the rod is folded, the alarm will not interfere with the transportation of fishing gear.

The positive thing about making a signaling device with your own hands is that no money is wasted in its manufacture. At the same time, you have a really high-quality alarm device of your own production, which is enough for many fishing trips. Due to the fact that this signaling device was made of aluminum, there will be no corrosion or breakage.

Perhaps many fishermen have encountered the fact that plastic analogues from stores cannot withstand a long period of use and quickly break. If you make a signaling device yourself, you don’t have to spend a lot of time and effort, and it turns out much better than a store-bought one. This alarm device performs well when fishing on bottom rigs In this case, even the smallest bite will be noticed and there will be an opportunity to react in time.

When hooking and removing fish, the alarm will not interfere. The same will happen during long-distance casting of bait. In addition, there is no need to prepare the alarm for casting a fishing rod, because everything will always be ready for perfect operation.

The March sun is shining brighter, it's time to prepare your equipment for summer fishing. Despite the general fascination of hunters for peaceful fish with feeders, adherents of the classic donkey remain. For a bottom fishing rod (donka), various bite alarms are used; making one of them yourself will be discussed in today’s article.

The homemade product is simple, both to make and to use. An undoubted advantage, unlike store-bought ones, is that anyone can make such a fishing “helper” of the size, shape and color they need. Well, it’s always nice to use hand-made gear when fishing.

Making a bite alarm for donkey with your own hands

The simplest signaling device consists of three main elements:

• The axis is a wire up to one millimeter thick.
• The body is an old float, a Kinder Surprise capsule, a blank machined from hard foam, a bottle cap.
• Tube - from cocktails, from juices, from flags, fountain pens and the like.

Alarm materials

We select materials for the manufacture of our signaling device.

Selected materials

We drill a through hole in the body of the float to allow the wire axis to pass through. Cut a three-centimeter piece from a long tube.

We put a short tube, a signaling device body, and a long tube onto the axle in succession.

Signal elements on the axle

At the rear end of the wire we make a loop for attaching to the ring of the bottom rod. In the case of using rigid wire, for the convenience of making a signaling device, it should be annealed over a fire. For convenience, it is better to bend the wire on a mandrel made of a tube with a diameter of a centimeter or a little more.

Rear end bend

Having moved all the elements of the product to the rear end, we begin to bend the front end of the axle. This loop should be in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the back bend. The diameter of the front loop may be slightly larger than that of the back, and be approximately two centimeters.

The loop should fit into the front tube about one centimeter. A longer piece will be awkward to insert into the tube; a shorter piece will constantly fly out of it.

Front fold

Probably, every avid fisherman, sooner or later, has the thought that it would be nice to have an assistant on his farm, a small one, but an observant one. This assistant is called a “bite alarm”. But many people not only want to buy it, but to make a signaling device with their own hands. Today we will talk about what types of alarms there are and how to make some of them.

The simplest bite alarms (principles of operation, manufacturing instructions):

Every fisherman has eyes, ears and hands to determine the bite. The mechanical signaling device is designed, due to its operating principle, to indicate the beginning of a bite through visual, acoustic or tactile contact.

Mechanical visual alarms

Nod. The simplest devices are the familiar float or the tip of a fishing rod (nod). These types of alarms are familiar to everyone. Every fisherman knows how to make a float and nod himself, or which one to buy.

Foil tube. Also, there are slightly different alarms, which are based on the principle of operation on the vibration of the fishing line. The simplest visual one is a foil tube.

1. Take aluminum foil and roll it into a tube.
2. Then we put the tube on the main fishing line.
3. You need to thread the line between the reel and the first ring on the rod - the line will sag in this place.

As the bite begins, the sag of the line decreases, we understand that the fish has begun to grab the bait. Aluminum foil is good because it shimmers in the sun (its movement is clearly visible), and also rustles when bouncing.

Disadvantage - it is useless in windy conditions (reason is the lightness of the material).

Mechanical acoustic alarms

The right bell. Let's talk about a simple acoustic signaling device - these are bells. Our design is much better than store-bought bells, since the bell flies off the tackle during hooking and does not interfere with fishing.

1. We buy a bell and remove everything that hangs on it.
2. We are looking for a rubber hose about three centimeters in diameter. When searching, pay attention to the fact that its walls are thin.
3. On the hose we measure a piece one and a half centimeters in length.
4. Cut off the measured ring and see what shape it has. If it’s a circle, then we cut along one side anywhere, but if it’s an oval, then we make a cut on one of the elongated sides.
5. Now we need two nuts and a bolt. The size of the bolt is such that it fits into the ear of the bell.
6. Now you need to make a hole at one end of the cut rubber ring equal to the diameter of the bolt (it is better to drill at low speeds).
7. We thread the bolt through the hole in the rubber ring (with the head inside the ring). You will get a hook made of a rubber ring with a bolt protruding from one side.
8. We put a piece of thick fishing line a meter long on the bolt with a tightening loop.
9. Tighten the loop.
10. Now we put on the bell, press everything together and tighten it with a nut, then screw on the second nut to lock the first.

We have a bell with a rubber hook. We hang it on the fishing line closer to the tip of the rod. When hooking, the bell may fly off - in order not to lose it, we tie the free end of the fishing line on our structure to a peg in the ground.

This design is much better than the cheap bells that are sold in stores. Because the signaling device flies off the rod. You don't irritate yourself or nearby fishermen. And also you don’t scare away the fish.

Electronic signaling devices

Having thought about the alarm and appreciating its advantages, I want more from it. A mechanical alarm requires mandatory control by the fisherman over its operation, that is, being near the fishing rods all the time. What if you want more? To go away for natural needs, prepare food, just relax and stretch your legs, then an electronic alarm comes to the rescue. It does not require constant presence near the rod and will indicate a bite with a visual (light) or sound signal. There are a sufficient number of types, types and models on sale.

Can be divided into types:

• visual
• sound
• combined

The principle of operation is just as simple - the fishing line passes through the slot, there is a small reel in the slot, and when it moves, a signal is triggered.

So, we described primitive mechanical alarms and briefly talked about factory-made electronic alarms, which are sold in stores. Now we’ll tell you how to make a more or less simple design of a mechanical signaling device, as well as how to assemble an electronic one yourself.

How to increase your fish catch?

Over 7 years of active fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:

1. Bite activator. This pheromone additive attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator “Hungry Fish”.
2. Promotion gear sensitivity. Read the appropriate manuals for your specific type of gear.
3. Lures based pheromones.

Design and manufacture of a simple side mechanical signaling device

We will need the following components:

• Latch fastener for PVC pipes (used for fastening to a wall, ceiling or floor, the pipe itself is snapped into it).
• Steel (elastic) wire 20 cm long and 0.8 - 1 mm in diameter.
• Nylon thread, waterproof glue, any paint for metal of a “poisonous-bright” color (paint can be bought in cans) or a self-adhesive film of a bright color.
• A rod or tube (guide) 8-10 cm long. The diameter of the tube is such that it fits tightly into the side hole for the PVC pipe holder.

Step-by-step instruction

Let's start assembling our alarm device.

1. We make a hole at the end of the tube or rod according to the diameter of the wire.
2. We bend the wire in an arc, measure 5 cm from one end and bend it 90 degrees outward from the inner bend of the arc.
3. We thread the wire through the hole in the tube or rod. Curved tip we will get it parallel along the guide.
4. We coat the tip of the wire and the guide with glue and wrap it tightly with thread in several layers.
5. We coat each layer with glue.
6. Once it dries, you can either paint this place or open it with varnish (for example, for nails), as an option, put a heat-shrinkable tube over the gluing area and use a lighter to encircle it along the diameter.
7. At the other end we bend the hook for winding the main fishing line.
8. We insert the guide into the pipe holder (it is better to place it on glue).
9. We paint with “poisonous” paint or cover with a bright film 5–7 centimeters of the tip of the holder on the side of the fishing line hook.
10. We put it on the rod handle after the reel. The arc wire should be on the side.
11. We grab the ends of the holder with a thick rubber band (so as not to fly off). We hook the main line after the reel to the hook on the wire arc.

When biting, the line tightens and bends in an arc. Based on the vibrations of the bright tip of the arc, it is easy to determine the moment of the bite.

Schemes of simple electronic bite alarms (working principle)

Option 1. Simple circuit of an electronic signaling device

The line tension sensor is made from a contact group from the RPU-2 relay. It is only important to set the relay to open at the slightest movement of the fishing line, but this can be done very easily during assembly.

Option 2. Simple circuit of a waiting sound and light alarm

Very simple circuit. The sensor is based on the same RPU-2 relay or any other analogue. The fishing line is wound behind the sensor and connector SA1 is closed manually. As soon as the line is tensioned during a bite, it will pass through the sensor and the chain will allow the speaker to signal the bite. You can also install an LED in parallel for light signaling.

Option 3. Electronic alarm from a key fob with a melody

A very simple scheme and does not require additional description. The RPU-2 relay or its equivalent is still used.

Option 4. A more complex circuit of a waiting bite alarm

To assemble an electronic signaling device, you need to have at least minimal design skills - what housing to place, what system is best to come up with, mounting method, etc. Each designer determines this for himself. We will tell you about the very principle of operation of the electronic signaling device and its components. For assembly you will need:

• 3 volt battery (or several connected in series).
• Contacts from a broken alarm clock or toy.
• The reed switch is open, without a magnet.
• Magnet (can be used from a furniture latch).
• LED or buzzer (or both for a combination alarm).

Here is the most complete circuit of an electronic sound signaling device.

The principle of operation of such a signaling device is as follows: when a magnet is supplied to the reed switch (during a bite), the circuit closes and transmits electric current to the LED or tweeter (or to both elements). The LED lights up or the beeper buzzes, signaling the start of a bite.

Such a circuit can be used, for example, in the mechanical signaling device described above - improving it into an electronic, combined one. In this case, we need to bend the arc so that it is closer to the rod with the tip where the hook is located, through which the main line passes. You need to attach a magnet to this tip of the arc, and attach the batteries, a reed switch, and an LED with a buzzer located inside some tube or box to the rod.

When biting, the fishing line will stretch and bend the wire arc with the magnet, bringing it closer to the reed switch. The reed switch will close the circuit and supply power to the LED and buzzer. You can put a toggle switch in the circuit to turn the tweeter on and off at will, and then it will only work in the on position.

To ensure that the LED always works, install the toggle switch in the circuit after the LED, so that the LED itself is not left without power in the off position. It turns out to be a wonderful signaling device.

Electronic signaling device Megatext and its operating principle

The advantage of this design is that in the open state our alarm does not consume power from the elements at all. It can be used at any time of the day. If you need to move away, you just need to turn on the buzzer and it will notify you of a bite at a distance from the rod. In case of failure or discharge of the batteries, such a detector will be able to operate in mechanical mode. It will be enough to remove the magnet and bend the arc to its old position. Successful hooks to you.

Many fans of bottom fishing come up with various devices that allow them to see the bite. Previously, bells were used. But with the development of technological progress, a feeder - an electronic signaling device - came to help fishermen. It allows you to see the slightest contact between the fish and the bait. The bite will not go unnoticed.

The invention is so well thought out that it allows you not to constantly be near the fishing rods, waiting for a bite, but to respond to the sound or light signals that the device gives. It is worth noting that the electronic signaling device has its advantages before other species. They are as follows:

• he is reliable and sensitive. You can enjoy fishing at any time of the year. He is not afraid of rain, frost, or moisture. The electrical board is closed in a reliable hermetic case and filled with sealants;
• Protective covers are included with the device. They ensure safety during transportation and allow you to quickly fold and unfold the device;
• long-term operation on one energy source. To operate the devices, it is enough to buy special batteries. To be on the safe side, you can have an additional set when fishing;
• This device is not afraid of moisture, so you can touch it with wet hands.

Such alarms were developed and are used to notify the fisherman about minimal vibrations of the fishing line or rod, in cases when limited visual control. Electronic alarms are well suited for beginners - fideists who have not yet learned all the intricacies of such fishing. Any bite, even a weak one, will be noticeable.

All you need for fishing is to assemble and set up the device and wait for the signal, while you can go about your business. When a fish bites for the first time, the alarm will immediately let you know with one of the types of signal, or it is possible to notify you via a pager.

Types of alarms

1. Pendulum. This type has been used for a long time. It consists of several parts: a wooden stick, a metal wire and a plastic tube, which are connected to each other. It is in the plastic part that a kind of firefly is installed, which will serve as a signaling device. This method has more disadvantages than positive aspects. It cannot be used in strong winds. The alarm itself constantly sways and cannot be fixed in one position, especially when the fish bites.
2. Sound. Also presented here various models: from the simplest to the more complex. Primitive models allow you to control only the strength of the sound, depending on where the fisherman is going to be during the process itself. They are quite convenient to use. More expensive devices also have a pitch control, which makes it possible to select a specific sound pitch. This option is convenient for those who use several fishing rods. The most modern devices equipped with regulators that are super sensitive. When the device is set to high sensitivity, it alerts when the line tension is up to 5 millimeters. This option is ideal for catching carp or in bad conditions. weather conditions. Settings to low sensitivity give an alert when the line tension is 70-80 millimeters. You can see even the weakest bite. This method is good to use at night and during strong gusts of wind. Many fishermen are faced with the problem of bats and muskrats touching their fishing line.
3. Light. A special light indicator is installed at the end of the rod. When the line is at rest, the green light is on; as soon as a fish is caught on the feeder, the red light begins to flash. The device itself runs on batteries. This type of device is ideal for night fishing. The signaling device is adapted in such a way that external interference: wind, waves, currents do not give a signal and the red color does not appear.
4. Swinger. This is an additional device that is necessary for full operation. In specialized stores you can find a huge variety of swingers. The electronic device itself consists of a plastic head, which includes a fishing line clamp and a weight on a metal fastener. A special mount is provided for it. This device is ideal for bottom fishing or carp fishing. The swinger works on the principle of bite tracking thanks to special movable weights, and when a catch is made, external alarms notify the fisherman.

Pager for electronic bite alarms

If you equip the alarm with a pager, then you will have a number of specific advantages:

Today there are two options for pagers for fishing: underwater and wireless. Here it all depends on the desire of the fisherman: whether he wants to have a connection using electrical wires. The best option will be the use of a wireless pager. Their range of action can reach 200 meters. This is enough for a person to move away and do something else: gather firewood, cook food.

The pager must be configured together with the electronic signaling device. This will allow you to control and select the volume level that will set and maintain the pager. For night fishing, it is better to use light indicators, or a regular vibration signal, which every pager has.

When choosing a pager for your alarm, pay attention to presence of charging indicator, often at the most crucial moment (with the long-awaited bite) it runs out of charge, and your fishing is ruined.

Well-known electronic bite alarms

Each well-known company tries to ensure the identification of its bite alarm in order to avoid the capture of other people's signals. Many devices have their own personal code or individual SIM cards.

As an analysis of the market for fishing tackle and devices shows, the most popular electronic alarms are Delkim Tx - I Plus. These devices are distinguished by their versatility, accuracy, special sensitivity, and the ability to set an individual code. The cost varies between 220-240 dollars.

The kits from the RX NX - R Fox International series have proven themselves to be quite good. They include 3-4 alarms with a pager. It is he who controls all the gear and can work within a radius of up to 200 meters. A set of 3 alarms costs about 1000 dollars, if together with gear, then 1400.

If you do not have a large amount of money, then you can choose a budget option from Kosadaka. It includes a set of alarms for 3 fishing rods. Price about 220 dollars. Electronic bite alarms are not cheap, but they are worth it. They come with a plastic suitcase, the cost of which is about 50 USD. If you want to have an additional signaling device in the kit, then its cost will be low - up to 35 USD. Basically this kit is ideal for beginner anglers.

"Megatex" is a domestically produced signaling device that has no analogues in the world. Its development was carried out by a research and production enterprise. This device is considered ideal for bottom fishing with a feeder, or for winter fishing. The device itself is compact and lightweight - about 12 g.

You can attach this device to a fishing rod using electrical tape or special tape. Regardless of the fact that the Megatex device is not equipped with mechanical components, it freely picks up any vibrations and vibrations. To set up and turn on, just press one button and wait for the sound signal. It also provides automatic activation when cutting. The device has a timer. The alarm is made in such a way that it does not sink in water and its body is completely sealed. To operate, one ordinary battery is enough, which is enough for 5 thousand hours of operation.

Manufacturers guarantee high quality signaling device for the feeder and provide a warranty period of up to 5 years, at a fairly low price.

Alarm "Barracuda T5" refers to budget option. It is an analogue of the American Condor device. The device itself has 4 sensitivity levels. Due to the special housing, the device can be used at different times of the year and in all weather conditions. For installation, you need to pass the fishing line through the device and install it in the form of a stand on the fishing rod. Feeder bite alarms provide extensive options for customizing the sound and light signal. As fishermen note, this device is quite easy to operate and reliable in operation.

All fans of stationary fishing are divided into floaters and bottom fishers. And if the first bites are monitored by changes in the behavior of the floats, then the second ones are forced to invent all kinds of bite alarms.

They even went so far as to combine the signaling device with the tip of the rod. This is how the feeder quivertip appeared. But, nevertheless, all kinds of donks and, as well as some feeders, are equipped with various devices and mechanisms for ease of fishing.

Don’t forget about winter fishing enthusiasts; their fishing rods, for the most part, also have a bite indicator – a nod. They are also equipped with summer fishing rods, for example, when fishing with gear called “Side nod”.

Types of alarms

All devices that monitor the bite on a donk or fishing rod are divided into audio and visual. Some mechanical devices and modern electronic alarms can combine both notification methods.

Let's try to systematize bite indicators by their design, by how they work, by the type of alert, by their location on the bottom tackle and other features:

1. Pendulums.
2. Nods.
3. Bells.
4. Fireflies.
5. Electronic devices.

Let's look at each of them in detail.

Pendulums

The essence of all models of pendulum indicators comes down to monitoring the mechanical displacement of any structural element. The simplest pendulum is a twig or piece of clay hung on a donkey line.

Modern bite alarms of this type are simple devices that consist of a tube with two rings at the ends. Their choice is quite wide thanks to the products of our Chinese comrades presented on the modern fishing market, but they are not difficult to make yourself.

Homemade pendulum signaling device

Here are brief instructions on how to make a regular bite alarm with your own hands:

1. We take a soft wire 30 centimeters long. The choice of elastic wire is also possible, but it will be more difficult to make a pendulum and use it.
2. At one end we fold a loop with a diameter of about a centimeter.
3. We put a plastic tube 10-15 centimeters long on the rod with a loop. In this case, the bent end of the wire should enter the tube approximately one centimeter.
4. We put some light, bright body on our rod. This could be the body from an old float, a capsule from a chocolate egg (you can also put a couple of peas in it for sound) or something similar.
5. Next, we put a short one or two centimeter piece of tube onto the wire.
6. We bend the loop at the end of the wire so that its plane is perpendicular to the first loop, and the cut end fits one centimeter into the small tube.
7. We fasten the first loop in the rod ring, and pass the fishing line through the second.

This design works very simply. After casting, we tighten the line so that the pendulum takes a position of forty-five degrees relative to the blank. Now, when pulled, it will rise, and when loosened, it will fall.

Such alarms are also called “swingers,” although in fact a swinger is a plumb line, which is used mainly in conjunction with an audible alarm and looks like a weight that is attached to a fishing rod stand on a chain or metal rod.

The swinger is put on the fishing line through balls brought together at the top, which release the fishing line when hooked. Such devices are produced, for example, by the company Prology. Some of them are equipped with a mini-electronic device with batteries and LEDs for visualizing the bite in the dark.

Nods

Nods are used on winter fishing and for equipping a light summer fishing rod for jig fishing. This tackle is called: “side nod”.

Winter fishing rods for the most part (except for float rods or girders) are equipped with nods. Moreover, a good half of fishermen prefer to use a homemade bite alarm - a nod made using their own technology.

A side bite alarm for a summer fishing rod is also easy to make yourself. Here is the sequence of making this gear:

1. We attach a piece of soft tube to the end of the fishing rod with tape or tape; we will need it to mount the nod itself.
2. We fix a soft but elastic wire at one end in a prepared tube. To make the wire hold better, you may need to bend it in half or three times.
3. We bend the wire at an angle of ninety degrees to the rod.
4. We place a bright element on the end of the wire, which will be clearly visible during the fishing process.
5. At the end of the wire we make a loop for passing the fishing line.

Another option often used for donkeying is attaching a nod to the rod blank between the reel and the first ring. In both cases, in fishing parlance, this side bite signal is called a “side nod.”

Bells

In this category we have included a variety of sound devices that help in fishing. This type of indication is used on donks in the dark or with a significant number of fishing bottom gear, out of sight. Among other things, sound alarms are the only choice of our visually impaired fellow hobbyists.

Sound indicators are:

• small classic bells, they have long been equipped with bottom gear, including those with a rubber shock absorber;
• bells-eggs on a clothespin, produced in abundance by the Chinese;
• rattles, including homemade ones.

fireflies

We have combined a wide variety of light indicators for fishing in the dark into this category. A bite alarm for night fishing with a feeder or bottom tackle has evolved from a bright piece of paper that gives reflections in the light of a fire to modern electronic and chemical models.

In addition to the fact that light indicators are included in many electronic devices, they are also produced separately. Light indicators bites can be chemical, electrical or light accumulative.

Electronic devices

Electronic alarms for bottom gear are currently available for any choice. Fishing with them, in addition to luck, brings into the process a share of technological progress and a sense of personal “advancement” in the soul of the fisherman. The operating principle of such devices is based on the passage of fishing line between the contacts or on the vibration of the rod blank. Moreover, bite signals can be given by sound, light, or transmitted via radio waves to a pager.

It is not advisable to use a pager as a feeder bite signal, because when feeder fishing, the choice of indication is obvious - quivertip (sensitive tip). These devices are used by carp anglers who, after feeding the point and casting the tackle, rest in tents, waiting for a bite.

The simplest electronic bite alarm for a feeder is a small device that is mounted on the rod blank. A fishing line is passed through its contacts and when it moves, a sound signal is heard.

At the next level there are indicators that are attached to the rodpod or. The principle of their operation is also based on the length of the fishing line between the contacts. Modern fishing stores can offer a whole set of bite alarms in a separate case.

Such gadgets are often used in carp fishing. Each of these devices has its own signal melody and light indication, which helps the fisherman correctly identify the fishing rod on which the bite occurred. To secure a bite to the shore, you need a swinger that pulls the line with its weight.

Separately, we need to talk about a device that works, like the above-mentioned “Strike alert”, due to the vibration of the form. This is the “Electronic bite alarm Megatex”, which is a light and sound device. It attaches easily to the rod and is adjustable to different degrees of sensitivity. And the Soyka-3 model is a truly smart bite alarm. It can also be used on-site due to the miniature size of the device.

Instructions for self-production

There is a category of fishermen who prefer do-it-yourself fishing accessories over store-bought tackle. And if every Lefty is capable of making signaling pendulums or nods, then to make an electronic model you need to become Kulibin. Articles from the Internet with various electrical circuits are always helpful.

For those who are not particularly good at circuits, here is a design based on a banal electronic key fob from our beloved Chinese brothers:

1. We attach the keychain to the feeder stand.
2. The contacts of the device are brought out.
3. We close the key fob button.
4. We attach a strip of plastic one millimeter thick to the fishing line.
5. We insert the strip into the gap between the contacts.

Here we have put together a simple electronic bite alarm with our own hands. Now when you bite, the plastic will slide out due to the movement of the fishing line and close the contacts. A beep will sound – it’s time to hook. In order for this model to work even when the fishing line is weakened when biting towards the shore, it is necessary to use a swinger with it.

Another option for making a bite indicator light is in the next video.
