DH FISHING |
As i got more and more in to my Carp fishing, it became clear to me i needed to upgrade in the bite indication department. I had always had cheap 'roller wheel' alarms and whilst they had served me well, the versitility of more expensive alarms on the market was all too appealing. I went in to the market for something 'middle of the road' and after reading many different views and opinions on alarms, there is no doubt the most popular is the Delkim range. I couldn't afford the Txi's and figured there was no point in me getting the plus model either. So i settled for the base model 'EV' and to put it in a nutshell, i'll never look back! (If i ever upgrade it would be to Txi's). The Delkim range utilises vibration sensing technology, where a small 'Y' shaped sensor detects the vibration created by the line moving over it. It is infact that sensitve, that on the highest sensitivity setting, you can blow very slightly on it and it will set it off!
The alarm can also have the volume and tone adjusted to suit the anglers personal preference and it is all operated by the little blue button on the front (The higher models have a switch in the bottom corner). Simply hold down, until you hear 3 beeps to switch on, same again until you hear one beep to turn off. There are a whole host of accessories to go with these alarms, that are compatible right through the range, including Hard Cases, Snag Ears, Lock Systems to allow quick removal on and off banksticks, Recievers and loads more to customise your set up to your hearts content. The EV's retail for around £55 give or take, with the slightly more expensive plus and Txi models going for around £85 and £120 respectively.
