Hate to think how much my Wideboy weighs... sometimes wish I had summat lighter, but I'm a tall lad and I need a big bed...😳

NGT and JRC do a 2 pc handle Nash also do a Scope net if you are feeling especially flush.... all fit in the Dwarf 9' 2 rod sleeve

Went for the Abode full overwrap for £69.99 off the bay.... looked at the Sonik Tek front for a tenner less but it doesn't have the cover of the Abode for only a tenner more

I tuck mine in me sock...🤣🤣

Or if you cant afford an extra 75 quid per alarm and another 147 for the receiver the ATTX dongles and receiver are cheaper... by some margin... not being contentious just pointing out a fact🤣😛

You need to go fishing mate.... but don't forget yer remote...🤣🤣🤣🤣😜👍

To be honest the Gardner Dongle system has bee used on hundreds of entry/mid level Delkims that don't have receiver tech already fitted and to buy the dongles and receiver still works out cheaper than a full set of TXi's and receiver... so if mt ATTs alarmsxwent pear chaped tomorrow I'd either buy another ATTs alarm or Delkim D's and a pair of dongles and still have a good pair of remote alarms

Forgetting my receiver is a moot point as it lives in the bag with the alarms... dunno why it was brought up tell the truth... most folks keep their alarm stuff together... its common sense If you don't...... well I you need to rethink the way you pack your gear....🤣 As for the ATTs not having speakers.... I tend not to irritate other folks on the banks setting my alarms because they are on vibro only and no-one can hear them... unlike mallet man and his foxes on full volume tinkering with the things every 5 minutes for something to do... for me it was one of the reasons I went with the Gardner offerings... and If I ever go over to the Delkim EV-D's then I'd use the Dongles and the gardner receiver to keep the alarms silent... ( if thats possible)

but just because you forget the receiver why go home.... (okay on a night session maybe... or get the wife to run it out to you....🤣🤣😛)

Why.....????? there's always the option of watching your bobbins.... which, I might add.... is how it was done before alarms were invented....😛 hub-cap underneath the reel with a penny on the spool...? See... old school still works...🤣

and add £147 for the receiver....!!!! That's a mighty large markup for a couple of pence worth of circuitry and solder... but then whenever has a high end tackle firm not taken the chance to make a buck....?? and as you say... it is a business.... Edited just now by bluelabel Oh dear , as with all things the final retail price is far from the cost of parts , good luck to any one with the balls to start a business ! Hey if I was in their shoes I'd be doing the same thing....🤑 difference is, I'm on the other end of the line (literally) we all moan about the cost aspect at some point or another, whether its yer ticket, rods, bait, alarms, or whatever... it doesn't stop us wanting things a bit cheaper does it...?🤣👍

except ATTs... you have to have a receiver as there's no speaker in the head... that said, they do other alarms with the speakers so bit of a moot point

Some folks who only do day sessions, or sit on top of their rods but want the Delkim alarms I'd suppose would look at them,

I was looking at dipping a toe into the world of Delkim at some point in the future, should my current alarms go pear shaped (although my ATT's are still going strong after nearly 7 years) and I thought that the EV-D would be a way forward, as I have an ATTX receiver, I figured a pair of dongles wouldn't bee too hard on the pocket

I thought the 2.5mm socket was for the Delkim illuminated bobbins and you need a 3 or 3.5mm jack for the dongles

Just seen the ads for the new Delkim EV-D looks good... does anyone know if they can be fitted with the Gardner Dongles to work with the recievers...?

Good god man... tell the lass your going fishing and go.... I tell her indoors when I'm going and I go end of.... just as soon as the swelling goes down....🤣😜

Crikey.... that makes my gear look like I'm OCD 🤣😜

I have an old drennan one and an Angling Intelligence weigh / recovery sling in the brolly bag

Brilliant bit of kit...had one for a season.... folds nice and flat and nice high sides

Blimey... I used to use Trent's "Red October" years ago... back in the early 90's good winter bait... hardly smelled of antyhing but the fish hoovered it up... gutted when they stopped making it

clockwise from bottom mid left Korda tackle bank and bits bag 2 rig wallet/boxes Nash alarm/bankstick case first aid kits for me and the carp spare spools blue bag is leads pouch couple of pots of plastic toppers scales and weigh sling main bag is a Korum compact ruck bag the Korum mat is attached to the back of it all fits in nice and snug... you gotta be ruthless though

The contents of the main tackle bag...

the only change to that lot is if I do a night I'll take my bedchair, the back's not up to much these days... then it's a barrow job, but that lot above is a normal day session... my young apprentice is loading up a barrow while I'm at me peg and setting up...🤣🤣
