Eel bell
The eel bell signals that a fish has been bitten while fishing . So it is a variant of the various bite indicators .
The eel bell is a small bell on a coil spring that is screwed, clamped or hung onto the tip of the fishing rod .
To use the rod you have to set up the rod at an angle of 90 ° to the fishing line and tighten the fishing line. If a fish now pulls on the line, the tip of the rod usually jerks, so that the bell rings and alerts the angler.
This bite alarm is used in many fishing methods , not just for eel fishing . The term eel bell has become common because eel is often angled at night , so an acoustic bite indicator is particularly important.
