Agree with you any normal person would wind the rod in until his buzzer was repaired

probably the weight of all that lead. and 400yards of weeded up line.

If it's only the wheel that has gone stiff and will not turn, I would be inclined to take it apart myself to see why but give it a blast out first with compressed air to see if that works.
End of the day, it might be just a bit of dirt glug etc that has got inside.

In another post you mention using drop off running leads you can get a drop back with them
You also said you are fishing at extreme range and couldn't fish closer as it was only 2-3 ft deep it was the only peg you could fish, the lake was full of floating weed and sunken weed you could only use a bait boat to put rigs out but not a normal boat to land fish so run the risk of tethering fish but now you are only fishing 50yds
Back to the alarm issue you want two lines going through one alarm; will the alarm move freely with a delicate take as one line will be acting as a brake so will stop alarm working as intended, then the line angles from second line going to alarm wont give the best indication and risk line lifting off sensor/roller and even if it doesn't you risk line or braid damaging alarm.
I would just wind a rod in if my alarm wasn't working you mention big fish would you really want to put any of them at risk? what happens if something goes wrong when your not looking or asleep?
I would just wind a rod in with no alarm, your posts appear to me as desperation to catch the fish

The whole thread is becoming more ridiculous and fantasy like day by day, flooded lakes in secret places under surveillance cameras where there is floating weed, static weed,undertow, wind, 50lb carp, 400 yard baits with mono, then braid, then 10 ounce drop off leads, and you have to re spool many times each trip,alarms with problems that no solution can solve,can only use tiger nuts, cant wade, cant rake,cant use a boat,only one swim, now its 50 yards in 3 feet of water in almost zero temperatures,flocks of anti angling geese taking out lines, not to mention weeks at a time of solitude on this mythical water, two other anglers on there too but no input from them as to how to fish and overcome the countless problems that manifest themselves at seemingly every session, I'll admit it's a wonderfully concocted tale,,, but full of inaccuracies and I suspect more than a little born from the need for attention.
what's next I wonder?? ghostly apparitions placing baits and netting fish.
werewolves and vampyres battling for supremacy under the light of a full moon.

Are you compleatly mad?
1st im fishing at Willows this weekend due to only having 4 days and nights avalable to fish this week (didnt tink i had to tell everyone where i was, after here ill be going home, attending a wedding on friday then back to the other lake monday untill after Christmass, after Christmas ill be off to France and then over to Spain and finally Morocco)
2nd on the topic (where i only asked a simple question) where i mentioned the lake (i only mentioned it to combat the barrage of noncence replys just like the one im replying to now) i did say i COULD wade.
If you understood anything about propper carp angling you would actually realise i am not fishing commercial waters day in day out.
Rhe lake you are refferong to is next to a well known Carp lake with big big fish in it to 60lbs. The reason i can only fish from one bank? Its a fly fishing lake, they only let us fish from the bank they cant cast from. Why do we have to fish at long range? Because it 2-3 ft deep for 300 yds then it drops off, echo sounder footage is on my insta where you can clearly see the distance from home to the drop off and the weed on the lake bed. Had you ever fished this type of lake in circumstances like this you would understand the undertow. As weed does it floats, in a lake full of naturals things like zebra mussels and snails float in it, causing it to become abrasive. If fact the only other person who fishes this type of fishing actually said his line only last a very short time. The 2 other anglers face exactly the same problem as me. Like i said, nothing mythical about it, its all on my insta feel free to go stalk me there too. This weekend im fishing a different lake and never once have i said anything about where im fishing again you jump to the wrong conclusion, you just seam to stalk my posts....
As for reeling in because an alarm has broken? If ive come up with a solution that works what is the issue? Line can be taken, the alarm make a noise, whaere is the harm?
Back to the alam. Ive got the answer i was looking for.
Constent need for attention? I dont see how? I asked a couple of questions, stangly that is what forums are for trust me if i was after attention i could do it in a much better way.

no I'm not completely mad,,
Neither am I completely gullible,
you have repeatedly ask "simple" questions, but if we are to believe your prowess as a top carp man who graces the covers of the carp comics, it wouldn't be beyond reasonable thinking that you would not need to ask such "simple" questions, as your vast knowledge would provide you with the answers you seek.
you have avoided answering many questions, regarding this mystery water, and yet you claim all details are on your "insta" maybe to encourage traffic on it.
you make references to the situation being on the fishery website but have failed to provide a link when asked.
you can't blame people for being a little cynical.

Wrong. If i wanted you to habe my insta i would of told you or anyone else on this foum my insta name, i callenge you to find anywhere i have put it.
Why would i publicly name the lake?
Where have i ever mentiond anything about my fishing or anything about me beong a "top angler" again you have come to that conclusion your self!
I told you the FISH of 52lb was on the website, and its also on social media where it came from, again i am not going to name it, i did not post it on social media and if i had iwpuldnt of posted where it came from.
I needed a solution for a very unusual situation and i needed it fast, turned out i was right in what i was doing but i didnt relise i needed to use specific brand leads.
The only thing ive not answerd you on publicly is where the lake is!
You have managed to turn a post about a fox alarm reapair onto a post about wjere im fishing
You say ive asked lots of questions? Show me please
