How does the incoming/outgoing signal work?
All Tibor and Billy Pate reels feature incoming signals and triple outgoing line signals. The incoming signal is created by the contact between the clutch dogs and the drag plate and is permanent. The outgoing line signal is created by the three clicker pins on the drag plate. The outgoing signal cannot be increased but can be silenced by removing the clicker pins. Please note that the outgoing signal is not as pronounced as the incoming signal. On newer reels, the sound may be muted but will increase as the reel is used.
