DL:

Buy a couple of small "plunking bells".

1. Use a cloth pin

2. long piece of heavy string or leader

Drill hole in the cloth pin, to fasten the sting or leader.

Cloth pin fastens to the guide on the rod, the closer to the tip, the better.

Fasten other end to the rod holder.

Fish hits...........bell rings........grab cloth pin, pull, should snap right off..

Grab pole.............fish on..........NO SORE NECK!!!


what the heck, its worth a try.....not much invested..
