How about the bells?

[🅺🅸🆂🅰]

The sound at the time of hooking the fish. When will introduced the possibility to put the bell on the gear? While fishing, someone is talking to a friend or read a favorite book. It is therefore useful audible indicator in the game.

For float fishing, I vote yes....super convenient while shore fishing. They already talked about adding feeder rods, chumming and bite indicators.

A bell for floating?, and while your waiting for the bell to ring on ya float rod the fish will be sitting down to dinner with 'Bob the Bobber', shouting, 'Help me, Help me, get off that page, I'm drowning', missed bite, missed message about bait getting lost and you are still waiting for a bite or the bell to ring with no bait on the hook, DERR!.

Plus bells look unsightly and cheap, I remember them when they came out in the shops in the UK you didn't need to buy one as those that did threw them away soon after.

For night fishing it is very good

For example, I sometimes do not see the animation float. I watch the movie in a different part of the screen. Bell will not miss the moment when the fish bite.

NAH, prefer a night light at the end of my rod IRL shore fishing, plus I can hold a convo while watching the tip, bells are total rubbish.

We use lights and bells for cat fishing. Nothing wrong with it. Should be implemented into the game if this is a fishing simulator. It is valid gear.

Sure when bottom feeding or something similar but then why not just use an electronic bite detector that holds the line by the reel, once the line is pulled from it the alarm go's off then it will no longer have any connection to the rod, where your so called bell is and going ding-a-ling while fighting the fish, (annoying sound), 'but I can take it off', I hear you say, how your rod is under tention from the fish so it's out of reach, perhaps you could reel in a bit and give the fish a bit of slack while you are fumbaling at the wrong end of it to remove the bell, (message, fish lost due to line tention) so really it is usless in the game, perhaps the Devs could make it auto gone when the bite is detected but then that is just being lazy and is not really a simulation of fishing.

YEP!, I am bell bios, hate the things!.

I meant any sound indicator. Moreover, it should be a separate setting in the sound menu.

Perhaps it should look something like this. Forgive me for my terrible Photoshop :(

This should be a sound that you will hear only. And you will be able to use it or not use it.

The idea is to set the rod down, and place multiple rods into holders. You ever bullhead fished at night? Not uncommon to see ten poles all lined up with bells and glow-in-the-dark pins to indicate bites.

You do it and someone else does it differently. All people are different. You can not use this feature if it is, but someone might like.
