Hangers & Swingers: For perfect bite registration under all conditions
Do you want to miss no single bite during carp fishing? Then hangers and swingers are essential. These tools ensure optimal bite registration, even with backswimmers or subtle taps. Together with your Bite Alarm, they form a strong duo with which you immediately detect every movement on your bait.
The difference between a hanger and a swinger
A hanger is lightweight and hangs loose on your line, ideal for fishing with slack lines or at short distance. With extra weights you can adjust the weight, so you also have reliable registration at greater distance or in strong wind. A swinger, on the other hand, is attached to a small rod and moves steadily up and down. This one is less sensitive to wind and perfect for fishing with tight lines or at long distance.
Why are hangers and swingers important?
Many bites you do not see directly on your Bite Alarm, especially not with backswimming fish. Hangers and swingers move directly with the line, so you can also detect these ‘backswimmers’ well. This allows you to react faster and prevents missing a bite.
Which hanger or swinger suits you?
The choice depends on your fishing style and the conditions:
-
Short distance/slack line: light hangers
-
Long distance or wind/current: heavier swingers
-
Adjustable weight: for maximum flexibility
-
With light function: good visibility during night sessions
Many models are available in different colors, so they perfectly match your Bite Alarms. Note the compatibility of brands, because not every connection fits every Bite Alarm.
