framey Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I think you may struggle to get anything any good for that value especially 3 of them the jrc radar get good reviews as do some of the sonics you could also look at the Nash s5r Rickeyhughed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently these are what Dave Lane uses: https://www.totalfishinggear.co.uk/carp/bite-alarms/tf-gear-mag-runner-ignite-bite-alarm I have seen them in the flesh when I used to work in a tackle shop, they do look pretty good, never had any returns, and according to Dave Lane in the TFG catalogue article, pretty bulletproof Rickeyhughed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little speaker mufflers do work, but some people reccomend glueing them in as these are LOUD alarms. Also had something similar... TMC Bite Alarms and luminous Swingers.

elmoputney Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Sonik sks are pretty good, the ND S9 alarms get a lot of positive reviews, quite techy though, personally I prefer alarms that have things like volume, tone, sensitivity control, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Nash Sirens seem to get good reports too (can't remember if its the 3's or 5's though... the expensive ones) a buddy won a set and he's over the moon with them... used them for half the season, autumn, winter and start of spring and he's in love with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
