I couldn't watch the new release video,the guy is proper annoying.I have seen a picture of the alarms though .I think Trakker are trying break into other parts of the market as they know once Korda release their bivvy and brolly then Trakker sales will take a hit

Yeh your right.
The trouble is if you have never entered a market before or re-entering and have established products as Trakker do (bivvies etc) then the alarms,rods etc better be good otherwise its straight to the Angling direct bargain bin!
These look gash. It does not matter what the innards or the spiel is if they dont look good from the off they wont sell.
Their rods dont sell from what I see. Selling terminal again--which didnt sell last time out either unless its rebranding cygent? Confusing. Really need to do as fox do -establish areas and expand. Fox do it right mostly.
Anyone remember the Nash specialist kit- yeh straight to bargain bins , never expanded, really bad short term marketing.

the nash specialist stuff was decent, wish i never sold my dean macey/nash rods, they fetch decent money nowadays and were perfect for perching and chub fishing

100% they look gash; why some of these product designers think that the more complex the tool the more interesting the product - total aesthetic mash of alarms from the past / current market. 'Simplify or die' - this is why Delks still sell and Nevs arguably are still the best looking!

Agree the person presenting the video had an annoying, (to me) style of presenting, however I think you need to have far more detail of the actual products before writing them off as unfit for purpose. Aesthetics will always be subjective ; and, " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ".
Pure functionality should be testable through usage. Time will tell.

I would have thought so, Cygnet posted on their Facebook page that for further info please go to the trakker pages as their one would no longer be monitored

They look cheap considering they're trying to break into a new part of the market for them

They might end up being chea

They look terrible. The alarm market is hardest market to crack. Its nigh on impossible to take sales from delkim and fox. Trakker haven't got a very good rep for reliability and customer service either.
Totally of topic but in regards to Trakker just relabelling its Cygnet end tackle, check out the adjustable zig they have released, that could be the best out there.
Bite alarms 5 years in development DB7 -R not a sign of a googled posts older than 24 hours a well kept secret that one 
looks like they wasted 4 years and 6 months talking about them and then decided to order some out of the three Chinese catalogue's you get to choose from.
Landed in the UK port last Thursday, quick promotional film Friday edited over the weekend and banged out yesterday
RRP £349.99 for a 3 set and receiver that they will let the anglers buying them do the real field testing on.

Presented in annoying punisher b*ll end style.. Appealing to Instagram, tik tok market.. Whatever!
Bang on the Nev is an all time classic design like an E type lol.
Solar very nearly had it right and had some good features but failed with reliability etc etc. They can kill a company though . Nash's deodorant cans looked mega gash though they seem to sell the new versions. (not my bag though).
I could design something far better on a fag packet!
All for progress and making products better rather than churning out sh*te. The zig float does look interesting.
I see the company that owns cygent ,aqua etc is streamlining. Makes sense.
Heres another one- Cadence carp gear ...yeh who? Well Dave Lane uses them, is sponsored etc , hardly anyone knows about them though and will carpers buy them... No course not because Cadence have no association with carping and are a well respected match brand (though new). If Shakespeare produced a tidy alarm it would still be Shakespeare right?
Maver did carp gear a while back..it bombed because Maver is associated with match kit.
Always thought if a company that has a strong brand within a branch of sport it almost needs to relabel to make it appeal.
Fickle we carpers lol.....

I think because for the best part of 30 odd years all we've had bite alarm wise was the Optonic Delkim Bamford conversion. Nevilles and the new Delkim and fox alarms. We are just loathed to change. Apart from the all ready mentioned all I see out on the Bank are Nash and the ATT,s.As all ready mentioned a new alarm will have to go someway to make any kindi of impact in today's market.
