Second hand bite alarms
These second hand bite alarms come from UK sellers and include single heads, multi-rod sets and sets with a receiver. The listing title shows how many heads are included.
Ask whether every head has been tested with fresh batteries and that the tone, volume and sensitivity controls all work. Check the battery compartment in the photos for corrosion.
If a receiver is included, make sure it pairs with each head and that the range has been checked. Missing snag ears or rubber covers are easy to replace, but they should be reflected in the price.
Alarms are small and light, so postage is usually low. Sets with a receiver are often sold in their original case, which helps protect them in the post.
Where a listing matches an alarm on eTackle, the card shows the new price at reputable online tackle shops. You can then compare the two side by side.
