This feature is absolutely priceless forgive me for laughing out loud at that statement
my alarm would sound if line goes out of comes in I certainly dont need a different tone to tell me which way the bobbin will let me know

Your bobbin can't let you know if you can't see your rods.
I'm surprised at the number of people commenting who don't seem to want to know if they got a liner or a bite in the middle of the night.
I wouldn't fish with alarms that don't have the drop back feature.

Apart from popping next door for a tea I can't think of a situation where I couldn't see my rods or bobbins, I wouldn't want to not be able to see them.

. . .think I'd miss it . . .
Drop back differentiation is def useful at night when you're tucked up in your bag / half asleep . . .also when your fishing split rods / a sly in a bush away from the main rods etc and you can't always see what your indicators are doing . . .

This 100% completely agree. If your constantly looking at your bobbins then fine. But when you are sleep or have a rod where the bobbin isn't in view then I want a different tone.
Having used most alarms I wouldn't use one now without this feature.

Pointless , unnecessary feature

Not needed 100% there are other ways to detect a dropback but belive me it's handy that you can hear from distance/in your bivvy if you have a dropback or a run.

No its not at all,it tells you more of what is going on out in the lake.If you get 5 bleeps on an alarm without it then it is just 5 bleeps,you don't know what has happened.If I get 5 bleeps and 3 are forward and two are back I know my lead has been moved away from me if I get 3 bleeps back and two forward I know my lead has moved towards me.This shows I have been done and potentially I'm not on the spot anymore.Its a very useful feature to have and all these people saying I watch my bobbins,dont make me laugh.Nobody sits and watches and sees what their bobbin is doing 100% of the time

Or maybe some people don't look and just assume they know by the different beeps? If people want to rely on them, good luck to them, but they definitely aren't necessary
