Steve Neville Remote Bite Alarm Bug Eye

Description

The Steve Neville Remote Bite Alarm Bug Eye is the remote version of the classic Steve Neville Bite Alarm, bringing the reliability and performance of the original into a remote format. It looks much like the classic alarm, but without the back jack socket, and the transmitter is housed internally rather than externally. It suits a range of carp fishing scenarios. The alarm has an adjustable volume system, so unlike many roller buzzers it can be silenced so it only sounds through the receiver. There are three volume settings: high volume for windy weather when sound might be lost in the elements, low volume for calm days, and silent for use with a receiver or for extremely stealthy angling. The Steve Neville Remote Receiver Box is available separately and is fully compatible, allowing the alarm to work as a stand-alone buzzer or as a pair with the receiver. The built-in radio transmitter has been tested with the receiver and has registered from as far as 500m, though that doesn't mean you should be half a kilometre from your rods — it does mean the transmitter is powerful enough to maintain clarity of signal through dense vegetation or in adverse weather. The alarm is 100% weatherproof, so it holds up in damp or frosty conditions. It runs on an LRV08 battery, which is supplied, and the battery should last for approximately one season's worth of angling. Sensitivity is very high, because the alarm registers using four magnetic roller wheels. These allow it to register the most delicate and nervous of takes, giving you a clear picture of what is happening at the end of your line. A latching LED and a red run LED add further indication. Multiple latching LED colours are available, including violet and white as well as the classic blue, green and yellow. A low sensitivity setting suits high currents or strong winds, ensuring you are only alerted to a ripping take and won't be disturbed in the night by a drifting line. You can toggle between settings by flicking the alarm on and off. Pairing the alarm with bite indicators lets you pick up runs towards your rod as well as away from it. Like the original, it has a flat back design for a compact unit.
