Alarms that take some beating where cost and functions are concerned.

I’ve long been a user of Muddy Waters gear and must declare at this point that I am a massive fan. Muddy’s were the first indicators that I saw featuring a clip specifically designed to aid slack-line fishing. They work perfectly well in all circumstances, but Muddy’s Kipper Clip was designed to actually grip the line and show the tiniest movement in the line, no matter how slack. Many companies have copied these but they’re yet to be improved on, in my opinion.

The super-compact body of the S5 is similar in appearance to Nash’s more expensive, all-singing, all-dancing alarm, but features just an on/off switch. It also has a built-in line guard and red run and latching LED. I found, in testing, that the indication was superb, especially for an alarm in this price bracket. There is a remote version available (£49.

Lightweight, compact and laden with features, the N1 alarm system is designed for the tech-savvy carp angler!

Having been out for more than a year, we thought we would revisit these feature-packed and technologically advanced bite alarms. Making a name by utilising Bluetooth technology, each bite alarm head can seamlessly be paired to your mobile smartphone device or tablet, keeping you at the forefront of indication. Do not fear if you feel these alarms may be a little too advanced for you and, like me, you would rather turn your phone off and fish in a more traditional manner. Each presentation case comes complete with a small receiver that offers a range of features, including individual lights, the ability to change tone and volume from the comfort of your own bivvy while also carrying out range tests.
