You get what you pay for nothing like the features AND NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A RECEIVER THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE

this IMHO would be worth buying
I would not buy any alarms that i could not use a receiver with certainly NOT !! the ones you ordered

great for day fishing but far to many people sleep thru a BLISTERING RUN because they dont hear the heads but a receiver inside your bivvy close to your head wakes you and does not piss off the rest of the anglers at night

Cheers mate. I just ordered the set of prologic bat+ bite alarms. Did a bit of research and 9 out of 10 people recommend using a receiver for night fishing. I guess 1 out of ten people dont mind waking people up in the middle of the night!

On a side note, can you recommend a good duvet or sleeping bag to go with my bedchair. Im still undecided between the sonik and wychwood bedchairs at the moment

I bought the BAT alarms last year. They work well, you should be happy with them.

You won't be sorry, they are a great alarm for the price.
Just sorry I messed my first post up.
There is a good video on YouTube by a guy that purchased a set which shows how to set them up etc.

I hope that link doesn't mess things up!!
Well worth watching.

Thanks Gerry. After over 10 years on the forum I still haven't worked out how to do "proper" links mate lol!!
The guy in the video doesn't come across as the most charismatic bloke you'll ever meet, but he explains the workings of the alarms much better than any written post will do.
It was watching that video that prompted me to order mine, I got them at the reduced price he paid so they were even more of a bargain.
They are a very underrated alarm set, and well worth the money.

Either the Wychwood "Slug" bobbins if you don't mind the looks of them, (Orange ones work best for visibility), or if you want to spend a little more you won't go wrong with JAG "Safeliners".
But there are loads out there.
Just avoid those cheap sets off Ebay with massive great dog choker chains attached.

It was a link to the alarms, but was too long as I don't know how to do what Gerry does!

You could get a couple of fox mini micron x's for just over £100 and add a receiver at a later date.

Fox reliability is proven so it could be a good decision.
Backdrop differentiation, adjustable colour inc colour sync to the receiver, 6 sensitivity levels, beep for beep from head to receiver etc
