Check out this item from Kevin Nash, apparently one of the leading minds of carpdom across the pond in the UK. This makes clear that on a global level Andre Moore has not cornered the market on fish-oriented double entendres. Andre’s “Penetration” and “Spanish Fly” evoke torrents of laughter from all of us who’ve never outgrown the 7th grade, but the “Butt Cracker” may be in a league of its own. It’s some sort of strike indicator but that’s all I can discern from this image. Can anyone edumacate me on exactly how one is used – or do I not want to know?

The carp guys lay their rod out on racks with the bail open. The unit mounts to the front rack and the two "balls" are positioned against the line, so that any friction causes the alarm to trigger. They work really well, while the carpers sit around and drink or sleep in the big folding easy chairs.
I used a short piece of electrical wire with an off-shore planer board release / alligator clamp to get the same result. It cost me $0.80.... About twice what it cost when my dad taught me in the 1960's.
