CARP EXPERT IBITE ALARM 5500 REEL WITH BITE ALARM + FREE LINE

The Carp Expert Method Indicator 5500 reel is one of the biggest innovations of 2025 — and now it comes with a free fishing line!

Let’s take a closer look at this truly unique piece of gear:

Each Method Indicator reel includes two drag knobs: a traditional one and the innovative iBite drag knob, which allows you to detect bites even from a greater distance — or in the middle of the night when the sound of the drag alone might not wake you up.

The iBite drag knob offers 6 volume levels, indicated by a ring of six blue LEDs at its base. The battery level is displayed via four LEDs on the top of the knob. If the power runs low, you can easily recharge it via a USB-C port, even from a power bank while you're on the bank.

The reel features a durable graphite body, metal spool, and metal handle, all designed for longevity under proper use.

Smooth operation is ensured by 7+1 ball bearings, while the 4.7:1 gear ratio provides efficient line retrieval — even for rigs cast at long distances. The front drag is highly precise with both drag knobs, making it easy to handle even the biggest fish, day or night.

Thanks to its 5500 size, the Method Indicator reel is a perfect match for both feeder and traditional bottom-fishing rods. Its line capacity of 0.30 mm / 170 m supports both long-distance fishing and the use of thicker mainline.
