I went catfishing at my local lake and decided to try this fish alarm. Normally I used fishing bells to alert me that a fish is on. After casting my line in the water and like most of us who have smartphones you'll be surfing the net, playing games, etc., basically we're pretty much distracted right?My fish alarm goes off and I just chuckled & shook my head while reeling in a 4lb. catfish. The second alert was I was walking a way to get something from the car and hear this alarm and said to myself who's stupid alarm is that? WAIT!! it's my stupid alarm...LOL. A fisherman who was maybe 80-100 feet away from me, came up and said, "dang I heard you alarm." So he asked where I got it and name of the brand. This will be perfect for night fishing too. The wind started to pick, but my alarm did not go off, which was a good thing.Cons: Have spare batteries on hand, you will need a rod holder to keep your rod firm and steady, only one alarm tune, no volume settings or tension settings. If you have an ultralight fishing rod, you will most likely need to bulk up the area where you plan to attach this alarm.Pros: You can take a nap, play with your smartphones, read a book, daydream, and this will really come handy for night fishing (the blue LED light will flash if you have a fish on), alarm is loud enough to be heard 50 feet away. Although it does not have a volume settings or tension setting it was not a deal breaker for me, why? The product worked at least for bank fishing.Four devices for under $20 was worth it. I would recommend this to family and friends. Happy fishing folks and don't be alarmed when you have a fish on.
