FTM Forellenkletterer Bite Indicator 60cm Swing Tip / Climbing Indicator

FTM Forellenkletterer — Hands-Free Bite Detection for Trout Fishing

The FTM Forellenkletterer (Trout Climber) is a swing tip / climbing bite indicator designed specifically for trout lake and trout pond fishing, letting the fish run freely the moment it takes the bait.

Instant, Resistance-Free Bite Signalling

Once set up, the Forellenkletterer clips onto the line between the rod and the reel. At the moment of a bite, the indicator rises upward and releases the line — the trout can peel off without feeling any resistance, reducing the chance of a dropped take before you can strike.

Reads Both Takes and Fish Running Towards You

Unlike a simple bobbin or quiver tip, this climbing indicator works in both directions. When a trout runs toward the rod, the Forellenkletterer drops downward, giving you a clear visual drop-back signal that would otherwise be invisible on a tight line.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Forellenkletterer is available in a single size and colour combination within this range. Select based on visibility needs and personal preference:

• FTM Forellenkletterer — Swing Tip / Climbing Indicator, 60 cm, Red: the current model; the red colour offers strong contrast against most bank and water backgrounds for quick bite detection.
