It is not supplied with a battery when buying it.Not loud enough even on windy days this could results deep hooking.Don't overtighten the line clip otherwise it will break.Battery spring clip is more likely to break when replacing a new batteryThe bob

It not worth buying it. There are not many Pike Drop Off alarms on the market now but this one is not cheap. I see there is a lot of fault in this model. In my view it is not worth buying unless you really need it.

Very good Very good alarms, well made, I have used them in very heavy rain and they work again and again, I have had them for 4 years and never had a problem with them. I have found that on rare occasions when the pike does not move towards me very far the arm doe

Pros:
|
If set up properly will give superb indication when a pike first picks up a DB. Takes a couple of visits to get the hang of the optimum setup but it is well worth the effort.
|
|
Cons:
|
Claims to be useful as a back up when float fishing - I can't see it myself. Wouldn't you simply watch the float? Also not cheap.
|
|
Excellent for dead baiting In my experience the Mk2 PS (Fixed arm) is very good. Thoughtful placement of the hooks along with immediate bite indication equals immediate strikes and 90+% hookups. No deep hooked fish all season which is well worth it.
