Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers wanting a straightforward wireless alarm set. You get the useful controls without loads of fiddly extras getting in the way.
- Night anglers and anyone fishing changeable weather. The high-visibility LEDs, manual night light and waterproof sealed alarms are proper handy on the bank.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers after a multi-colour 2+1 setup. The multi-colour version starts at 3+1, so the smaller option isn’t available in that finish.
- Anyone wanting every possible smart feature. This is a practical alarm system rather than a connected, feature-packed gadget with loads of additional functions.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Prologic Bat+ Bite Alarm Set
There’s a lot to like about a bite alarm set that just gets on with the job. No daft faff. No need to spend half the session scrolling through menus. The Prologic Bat+ is built around the stuff that matters on the bank: clear indication, useful adjustment and a receiver that keeps you in touch with the rods.
You can buy the Bat+ as a 2+1, 3+1 or 4+1 setup, depending on which colour variant you go for. That makes it fairly easy to match the set to your fishing. Two rods on a little day-ticket lake? The 2+1 is bob on. Running three or four rods on a bigger carp venue? There are options for that too.
The LED choice is worth a quick mention. Blue LED versions are available in 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 configurations. The multi-colour versions come as 3+1 and 4+1 sets. So if you’re after a smaller two-rod setup with changing colours, you’ll need to look at the blue version instead.
On the adjustment front, you get five sensitivity settings. That’s enough control to deal with a fair few common situations. Keep the sensitivity sensible in a bit of wind or tow, and you can reduce the chance of the alarm having a little tantrum every time the bobbin moves. On a calm night, you can wind things up for more delicate indications.
Volume is covered with six levels, plus silent mode. That’s a useful spread. You can keep the alarms low and discreet when the swim’s quiet, turn them up when you’re further round the corner, or run them silent if you want the receiver doing the shouting. Just remember that a silent alarm still needs sensible visual checks, especially when you’re close to the rods.
The wireless receiver is one of those bits of kit you quickly appreciate when the rods are spread out. With a stated range of up to 100 metres, you’ve got room to move away from the pod without completely losing touch. That doesn’t mean 100 metres in every swim, mind. Trees, banks and the shape of the lake can all get involved.
The alarms themselves have high-visibility LEDs and a manual night-light function. That’s dead handy when you’re setting up after dark or checking the heads without reaching for a headtorch. The deep rod recess is another sensible touch, designed to reduce the need for snag ears and keep the rod sitting neatly in place.
Weather shouldn’t be a major worry either. The electronics are totally sealed and the alarms are waterproof, so a wet night or a proper British downpour needn’t put a dampener on the session. That doesn’t mean you should abandon basic care, but it’s reassuring when the clouds roll in and the heavens open.
The set comes in a case, which is exactly what you want for alarms. Keep the heads, receiver and bits together rather than letting them rattle around loose in a carryall. Do remember the batteries, though: each alarm takes two AAA cells and the receiver takes one 9V battery, and none are supplied. A cheeky pre-session battery check could save a fair bit of grief.

Our take
Simple kit that gets on with the job
The Bat+ is aimed at anglers who want reliable bite indication without faffing around with a mountain of menus and settings.
Its deep rod recess, high-visibility LEDs and manual night light are genuinely handy touches, especially when you’re fishing dark margins or trying to keep things neat around the pod.
Closer look
A sensible alarm package with the useful bits covered
The Bat+ setup is refreshingly straightforward. You get the bite alarms, wireless receiver and a case, with the choice of two-, three- or four-rod configurations depending on the variant. The blue LED range covers all three options, while multi-colour starts at 3+1.
Five sensitivity settings let you tune the alarms to the swim. Use a lower setting when wind, tow or liners are causing nuisance movement, then increase it when you’re watching for more delicate indications. Six volume levels and silent mode give you similar flexibility after dark.
The high-visibility LEDs, manual night light and deep rod recess are all practical bank features. Add waterproof, totally sealed electronics and the Bat+ looks well suited to the sort of wet, mucky weather UK anglers regularly turn up in.
Worth knowing. Batteries aren’t included. Each alarm needs two AAA batteries and the receiver needs one 9V battery, so pack the correct spares before a session.
Who it suits
A good fit for everyday carp and coarse fishing
This set makes sense for anglers who want wireless convenience without a complicated control system. It’s suited to regular carp sessions, short overnighters and venues where you might wander away from the rods for a brew, a wander or a bit of margin work.
The 2+1 version is neat for a two-rod approach, while the 3+1 and 4+1 options suit anglers fishing more rods. Sensitivity and volume adjustment also help when moving between open water, sheltered margins and swims with a bit more natural movement.
It’s less ideal if you specifically want multi-colour LEDs on a 2+1 set, because that colour option isn’t offered in the smaller configuration. Likewise, anglers chasing loads of advanced smart features may find the Bat+ a bit too uncomplicated — though that simplicity is exactly the appeal for plenty of people.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want clear before buying
What does 2+1, 3+1 or 4+1 mean? The first number is the number of bite alarms, and the ‘+1’ is the wireless receiver. Pick the number of rods you normally fish, rather than buying more heads just for the sake of it.
Can the receiver be used silently? The system has six volume levels plus silent mode, so yes, you can keep the receiver quiet when you don’t want noise carrying around the lake. The alarm heads also give you visual indication through their LEDs.
Does the waterproof build mean you can ignore maintenance? Not quite. The sealed, waterproof alarms are designed to cope with wet conditions, but it’s still sensible to keep the case tidy, check battery compartments and avoid storing damp kit for ages.
