    Default Jingle Bells Bite Detectors


    I got some little bells and epoxyed them on my poles to alert me if I'm looking at the depth finder and get a bite. I'd tried the plastic beads that you put on the line and they alert you but if you get slack in your line, they will wrap around your pole.

    You ol' geezers need to get hearing aids instead of buying trinkets...

    A smooth movement like wave action shouldn't ring the bell but tapping the rod tip will.
    I actually thought this one up myself. I told Gene I was gonna try it when I was over there on Monday. The plastic beads work alerting you but with line going through them, they will tangle your line. Reesguide showed me the bead trick.

    It would take pretty strong hearing aid to hear a fish bite. Lol What do they sound like when they bite? Do they smack?
