Variable Detection Sensing System – VDS Using a magnetically coupled vibration sensor, VDS generates a signal that is proportional to the movement of the line. Movement is detected in two ways by, Roller wheel (S) or Vibration (V). The level of sensitivity can be set to suit most conditions.
Ultra-Sensitive Vibration Detection The V control overrides the roller settings allowing the VDS to now detect vibration movements. This is perfect when fishing slack lines looking for ‘liners’ or for when fishing very tight lines where a take will often be preceded by one or two bleeps, even before any visible movement is detected.
Vibration to Roller wheel Auto Sensing System, which will switch between the Vibration and Roller wheel detection to ensure you never miss that all-important run.
High Sensitivity Roller Wheel Detection - RWD Fully variable detection with 8 Sensitivity Levels which is controlled with the ‘S’ Control, this can be set anywhere between its minimum sensitivity setting of 100mm, ideal for flowing water to its maximum setting which will detect line movements as little as 2mm making it ideal for shy or wary feeding fish. Expandable to 16 Levels via the HUBB Link giving a setting of up- to 300mm. 2mm, 6mm, 12mm, 18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 60mm, 100mm. *Additional HUBB Settings 4mm, 8mm, 16mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 80mm & 300mm.
Drop-back Differentiation ; During a dropback detection, a two tone signal is triggered and the LED’s flash.
Recoil Elimination; The Bite Alarm includes Recoil Elimination. The alarm will only sound if line moves the distance set by the sensitivity dial in one direction only. If it moves forward and then drops back immediately as in windy conditions, the alarm won’t sound. For a given distance of line travel 4mm extra in the opposite distance is needed before an alert is triggered.
High Visibility LED’s Extremely bright LEDS which are easily visible even in bright sunlight, they feature a wide viewing angle allowing you to see them even when sat to the side of your rods. Choose from 7 changeable Colours: Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta & White to match your bobbins or set them to OFF for Stealth Mode.
LED’s Brightness The brightness of the LED’s can also be adjusted for different fishing situations.
Alarm LED’s Illumination Time From the main menu of the HUBB the alert time out of the LED’s of the linked/paired alarm can be adjusted: 60 seconds - 30 seconds - 20 seconds - 10 seconds - 5 seconds.
Piezo Speaker High quality speaker that produces sound over a broader frequency range and with a greater output in the low range.
Auto Nightlight – ANL Alternative to betalights, when it gets dark the Light Sensor automatically dims the brightness of the Nightlight. The Nightlight offers a choice of 7 colours plus Off to help you position your rod centrally onto the alarm during night time.
Nightlight Level Adjustment From the main menu of the HUBB the Auto feature can be disabled allowing the Nightlight brightness of the paired alarm to be adjusted as desired.
Smart Indicator Port – SIP Smart LED Drive, indicator colour will match the alarm LED colour. Can be set via HUBB to also match the Nightlight when not alerting*.
3rd party indicators also supported** *when used with the appropriate WOLF indicators only. **check website for supported 3rd party indicators.
