for me there is no better detection than a float , as soon as it goes hit it .. simples

or the old drop arm at the back . I like to add a small weight to mine just so it tightens up quicker , just rap a bit of lead around the stem

you can also add an audible alarm to the front bankstick

You wont go far wrong with these  Click on link > Billys backbiters

Most pikers use these or similar ones Not cheap but worth it if you can afford them Also Paul Alsop that now makes them is a member on this site

I've got these alarms http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Carp-Fishing-Bite-Alarms-Indicators-In-Rubber-Finish-With-FREE-CASES-RED-LED-/220591210438?hash=item335c42bfc6:m:mJrC5kLRLZShp27ndfwWE7g

Paired with these drop off indicators http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-Lime-Yellow-Drop-off-Bite-Indicators-Carp-Coarse-Fishing-Slider-Weight-/301781637184?hash=item4643965840:g:GBYAAOSw5ZBWMQj1

I have Fox psr but I also have some Delkin which I use for river fishing.

attx's with homemde swinger indicators in carbon. shows drop backs and full takes and move even when the fish fart near the bait!
my mate has dells with the same set up. nice and sensitive.

billys backbiters,,, second to none

Delkims and drop off rear indicators for daylight fishing, and a set of Fox STRs with reciever that i use at night with heavy drop off arms and the bait runner engaged so theres no line skip on the wheel. Belt and braces approach. I would have Billys if live baiting was allowed over here though as well
