Quick take
Simple copper bells with spring clip attachment for indicating bites during night fishing or when watching multiple lines.
These South Bend copper bells are a simple strike alert for the rod tip, sold as a pair. Each has a bullet shape and a spring clip, so they attach and come off without tools. They suit anglers fishing at night or watching a rod set in a holder, when a ring is easier to catch than a twitch.
