I keep seeing cheap little reels with light and sound bite alarms on them.
Since the quality reel manufacturers won't incorporate these systems on big levelwinds, I have been waiting for someone to invent a similar alarm system that attaches to levelwinds.
If a man could make one to attach to an Abu 6500, he would soon make enough money to tool up and make alarm systems for most major levelwind reels.
I have experimented for years trying to make clickers louder or setting reels on tamborines to increase the clicker sound. When it is raining or there are lots of locusts it is difficult to hear my clickers.

I crush an empty can and put it under my reel to increase clicker sound. It really helps for those rods 100 or so yrds down the bank.

Here is my pop can alarm system. It is more effective if you put rocks under the can so it makes more noise when it flips off with a bite. Caution: pull the tabs off the can and only make a single loop with your line. I showed the alarm to one guy who set it up after drinking a pop. When I retrieved my rod from the lake I found the line wrapped around the tab. This pic was back when I was trying to teach a coon to fish. It didn't work out the little buggers kept eating the baits instead of putting them on hooks ;D  |
