Bite Alarms & Indicators

With more features than you can shake a stick at, the Gizmo Bite Alarm sets from Sonik can't help but impress any carp angler.

Prologic’s popular SMX alarms get the Custom Black treatment – the result is stunning.

I have been using the Delkim Ev Plus alarms for years and have to say that they have stood the test of time.

Classic design slimline bobbins that are perfectly adapted for fishing close to medium ranges where delicate line indication is key. Weighing in at between 3g to 4g they are, as the name suggests, light. There are seven colours in the vast range so you will find the perfect complementary bobbin for your setup. Each bobbin is supplied with a black Clinga Ball Chain and Black Clinga Link for an easy to fit and understated product that does exactly what it says on the tin.

THE TACKLE BOX’S LEE JACKSON SAYS: This set comprises three very attractive and fairly compact remote alarms that have roller wheel sensing, adjustable volume, tone and sensitivity settings, drop-back LED and tone indication and low battery detection alert. Plus there’s a receiver that also has volume, tone and sensitivity controls and low battery detection alert, plus a courtesy light and memory function that has three alarm mode options. This state-of-the-art set comes in a hard plastic presentation case and includes a free remote LED bivvy light that has six adjustable brightness levels, adjustable delay, and once paired with the receiver mimics the LED colour of the alarm that is sounding. Each alarm is powered by two AAA batteries, the receiver a PP3 9V battery and the bivvy light three AAs, none of which are supplied.

Having been out for more than a year, we thought we would revisit these feature-packed and technologically advanced bite alarms. Making a name by utilising Bluetooth technology, each bite alarm head can seamlessly be paired to your mobile smartphone device or tablet, keeping you at the forefront of indication. Do not fear if you feel these alarms may be a little too advanced for you and, like me, you would rather turn your phone off and fish in a more traditional manner. Each presentation case comes complete with a small receiver that offers a range of features, including individual lights, the ability to change tone and volume from the comfort of your own bivvy while also carrying out range tests.
