I have used bank tackle a fair amount through ebay and no problem at all

Hold on mate, was only a suggestion..... Let;s be abosulatly clear here... I have been using ATTS alarms for well over 10 years, never had any probs at all, only wanted to replace one that was my fault for bodging a job on it. Yes as stated before. did a U turn and got a new pair.... As for water ingress, well, IP67: IP67 Dust tight. Withstands ingress of dust with vacuum applied. Withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes

You'd hope so 🤣

It's probably more for reducing the volume I would assume. You would like to think they had made it fully waterproof. The atts were always supplied with a 2 mag roller, I use the 4 mag all the time I fine them perfect for what I need, a worthwhile purchase.

I personally would be absolutely raging if I needed to plug speakers to avoid water ingress 🤦‍♂️

Sorry, should have added that they have a rubber fitting way to do this..... Yes, despite my initial scepticism about them. I now have a pair 😀, won' have a lot of chance to try them out but they do look good. Slight critisim tho, the instructions said they were supplied with a 4 roller magnet, no it's the standard 2, also no mention of the little rubber gizmo to fix over speaker, it is fiddly but yes it does reduce the volume.... probably helps water ingress too?

Bit like decreasing the alarm volume on old Nevs 👍

Yeah, it’s funny how things change. Window cleaning gear has come a long way, those gloves can actually be pretty useful now, especially in cold weather.

Thanks for that timely input I was thinking it could be a right edge but I can't be bothered to harvest them, that takes a lot of effort and I hope it pays off for him, looks like it's back to plan 3283638 for me then 😂

Well if you are right , Yonny , which you almost certainly are because you are Yonny , you've just saved me a few bob . 😃

No idea about a hard reset. Silly question but are you absolutely sure the heads are the remote version?

Yeah I did years ago. I used live ones, dead ones, dehydrated/dried ones.... and they were all rubbish. Imo the carp get on the (natural) snails simply because it's the easiest food source to harvest at the time. They're tuned into the food sources available in their watercourse and I don't think you can compete with that with any snails apart from those that are plucked out of the venue - so @jh92 has the right idea. Even then, there are other natural baits (maggots and worms) that will do a much better job of competing. The snail discussion comes up every few years. Lots of guys try it. Hardly anyone has any real success. Imho, snails are just not a great bait.

Exactly — your contract is with the seller, not the delivery company. The seller is responsible for making sure you receive your goods, and they have to chase the courier if something goes wrong. The points about payment methods are also spot on: credit cards offer extra protection under Section 75 for purchases over £100, debit cards let you request a chargeback, and PayPal gives you buyer protection if you act within their time limits. Always good to know your options depending on how you paid.

No pictures as i dont have it yet but the wonderful chap that built my 8ft cane rod is busy with a new commission rod for me, this is a cane 10ft 1.5lb avon done in shall we say a "Walker MK4" rod

That's some serious next level determination, hope your effort pays off.

Been away on a little holiday so late to reply to this but, i think i am gonna sack this idea of, cut my loss`s put the new sleeping bag on fleabay along with airbed when it arrives. I get that lots or most fisheries wont allow tents....even if said tent is camo and looks like a bivvy, i would only be doing a max of 3 separate 24 hour sessions in a year during decent summer weather so i am just not prepared to shell out for a bivvy or brolly system and bedchair that will be plain an simple in the way at home. i just cant justify the expense of this and try to store bulky items

Well I've been out and got around 100 snails, got a special mix on the go in the bucket 😏 tedious picking in the waders 💪🤣 I'm off to the canal tomorrow morning for a night or two. Both rods are gonna go on snails. I will update how I get on 👍

Update. Have found a copy of the pairing instructions but can't get the alarms to pair. All the receiver lights come on as expected when switching on but nothing happens when I attempt to pair. Have tried with all three alarms which are all working fine so I suspect a problem with the receiver. Is there a hard reset I can do or should i suspect a faulty receiver? TIA.

I have just acquired 3 nice Steve Neville alarms and a Mk1 receiver. The alarms work fine but I can't seem to pair with the receiver. Does anyone have a copy of the instructions for how to do this? TIA. Steve

Anyone else thinking how much of an edge those snails could be?

CC Moore do some small ones, which are friend had some success with, but nothing like the bad boys @elmoputney found. I've tried hair rigging slugs before but they didn't stay on long. I'd be interested to know how you get on @jh92,so do keep us posted mate? https://ccmoore.com/32-frozen-water-snails

https://snailfishingbaits.co.uk/ There you go with a little Google I found the mother load.

Fake ones? Real ones for a spod mix 🤔 https://www.carpparticles.co.uk/product/micro-snails/ Also don't dynamite cook their hemp in the tins? Does that mean they are unaliving snails in the tin too? 😱

Cheers bud, trying to get away from boili3s at the moment, I'm after real snails 👍🤣 Yes mate I've already got myself a tin 👍 I want a couple from my canal that I can drill and rig 👍 I'm gonna get the waders on for next session and pick a couple from the banks and see what happens 👍🤣
