Billys Backbiters

The Premier Bite Indication for Predator Anglers My promise is to give you an exceptional product with exceptional service.

Since going commercial in December 2007 Billy's Backbiters have quickly established themselves as the number one Bite Alarm for Pike Anglers throughout the UK and Europe. The combination of 23 years of engineering and 25 years of pike fishing have provided me with all the experience necessary to deliver what all Pike anglers want. A high quality and supremely reliable 'Backbiter' or 'Drop Back' style alarm that will provide season after season of continuous reliable service no matter what the worse of the winters weather has to throw at them.

Rollovers are now £25 each due to the massive increase in production and material costs since Barry made them 15 years ago .
We have produced some 16mm and 20mm bank stick attachments , these are £5 each

Couple of photos of today’s delivery’s going out the door ,
