Only lives in hitchin 

why use all the fancy jargon to try and sell an alarm it goes over 99% of people’s heads 

all they need to say is we work in the rain don’t false bleep in the wind or undertow and reliable 

and actually be all the above and they will sell loads lol

Sounds like they can be set up sensitive enough that a polish guy snoring two pegs down could set them off.

Exactly. He uses nearly 100 words to say that low frequencies penetrate better than high frequencies.

Why is it bad that he lives in Hitchin? 🤔

I mean I do agree with all the fancy jargon but I thought Hitchin was alright compared to some places lol 😁

I had not.

They actually interest me. I've been saying for a few years now how we need to see a new technology in bite alarms i.e. not a roller (that can freeze) or delk. Looks like this may be it?

That said, the tech does look similar to a delk which is heavily patented, will be interesting to see how that pans out.

It is a SAVAGE market to break into, I wish the guy the best of luck.

Simple as

I want my alarms to look nice as well as be simple and reliable.

Haha agree to a point but form over function  , then again i don't do pot noodles

 

[yonny]

I couldn't care less what functional gear looks like. If it does what I want it to I'm happy.

Good for you using ugly, poorly designed and overpriced hype then (surprise surprise somebody pulled the wool over your eyes yet again, much like the clumsy rigs you use with far too many hideous and unnecessary additions to what is already a great big mouth damaging shark hook)

in my mind good design goes hand in hand with a certain elegance and minimalism 

Here we go again.

My statement regards cosmetics not being important to me was not directed at you, I was merely pointing out that functionality is what counts (to me). How you've managed to turn that into a catalyst to sling mud is beyond me.

So I guess we're now looking at a race against time to see how many people you can alienate before you get banned. Same as last time you joined, and the time before that, and the time before that...........

Clearly not, which begs the question what kind of mental illness drove you to join it again.

Or the gooner 

[bluelabel]

dunno who he is (was) he was a gobby sort.... no manners whatsoever,

[bluelabel]

BOT.... I saw thos alarms at the brentwood show and they looked like a way of getting round the vibration system that Delkim use.... not sure on their efficacy but it would be interesting to try a set out.... not sure on the open section on the front though.... a nice water inlet to be honest

The much anticipated alternative from Wolf is nearing release lads:

Imo, they look a bit spesh. Market leading specs imo.

If I need to use an alarm, I am probably fishing with very tight lines – bolt lead style. I am curious to know how people make use of the extra sensitivity of expensive alarms.
