  1. Sorry to bore everyone to death on this topic.... Just opened up alarms to fit new batteries as recomended, errr no rubber seal thing on the internal slot.. if that makes sense? Anyway, really looking forward to, hopefully, see them in action 👍
  2. Just rooted out some old pics from the times I had on there when the CS took it over. I was one of the anglers who paid the money for them to actually purchase the lake, not sure what is going on there now tho. Wondering if there is anyone on here who actually fished it back in the day, so many good memories and people I met there. as ever time moves on and lost contact with everyone.... no Mobile phones and social media in those days
  3. Well at least this thread seems to have got the posting on here up a bit 👍😀. Will be taking the new alarms out for a couple of day sessions at a (hopefully) easy coarse lake in Norfolk this weekend... if the forecast is to be believed tho, won't be any rain!
  4. 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
  5. 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?
  6. Bit like decreasing the alarm volume on old Nevs 👍
  7. Have to eat hunble pie now: https://gardnertackle.co.uk/product/atta-audio-bite-alarm/
  8. Exactly what I was meaning to say.... Lets be honest, a Carp is just a fish and shouldn't be treated any more 'intelligent' than any other imo. Fishing situations obviously make any fish more wary, unless in overstocked commercials I deff agree with, think the term is a 'carp soup' puddle? 😂 Not sure about your comment about sparsely populated lakes, deff hardest to locate fish and I for one can't be bothered anymore,, when located they would be 'relatively' easy to catch on any bait given an application of bait in that area?
  9. Why oh Why don't Gardner do stuff on their website about this rather than some brief FaceAche clip??? Even I. who was critical of the new alarms might want to do now get them...... subject to if they are ever released and also some unbiased reviews if they ever do come out
  10. Tbh, think underwater videos have been done to death now. Something a bit strange about this one though, almost seems to have been somehow AI generated?? Anyway, wouldn't worry to much, not many of us fish on gin clear waters and not sure Carp are actually that intelligent?
  11. Very healthy bankside meal 👍
  12. Opps, couldn't do a proper reply to my last post Social media has really overtaken most forums I guess now? I don't do it, as for Carp Forums, there is 'another' at least, but as probably said before this is more chilled, suspect in the future thay will die out except for old gits like me etc wanting something more laid back? 6
  13. Just an update on original post, after playing around with the stuff it tended to make method mix very sticky and not as firm as I wanted (oh err). Anyway, probably should have thought of this before, just blitzed up some flaked maize to add to existing mix and it seems to do the job nicely. Off to an 'easy' Kernow water next week to give it a go.
  14. Lot more than 2 brands left mate. Just wondering what happened to the Hearn / Sticky bait thing tho?
