"As we all know water transmits sound quite effectively. Those of us who pursue wild fish i.e. river fish will know exactly what I mean. With electronic bite alarms, I used to fish the Yately complex from time to time and other water whilst with RMC/Cmex, I noticed that most anglers used bite alarms and during to many periods of inactivity would (for want of a better word) play with their alarms for whatever reason. This used to p**s us quiter folk off but surely this was to their disadvantage by sending a signal (at the speed of sound) charging down their mono directly to their rig and scaring the sh one t out of every carp in the proximity."
And it's worth debating again on it's own thread IMHO. Because I think line does transmit vibrations. Even if they are insignificant to us, to a fish it could could be like banging a gong. What do you think?
