100% only thing not selling me totally is they operate like a 4 magnet roller sensitivity wise. i prefer 2 magnet as i fish weedy and canal lakes with undertow so in them scenarios i will fish the ATTSiw 2mags

Hi I not used them more than twice myself due to health issues
but 2 mates one that is retired and lives in France and fishes all the time bought a set as backup to his original early delks that he was having issues with
he found they were so good uses them all the time on his second season and his mate he fishes with uses them now too
the other mate that fishes the Rivers all the time and he has switched from his ATT an has had most of the top alarms over the past 40 odd years too yes I do rate the Radar CX alarms but these are equally as good
in fact the Bat3 plus do have the edge !!
and at a silly cheap price why waste money on alarms that wont do a better job ?

Edit there is also a few forum members that have them think there is possibly a review in the review section ?

its fair to say alarms are a real kettle of fish of opiniona for sure.. i swore by ATTS until alarm failure and it became clearly apparent there was an issue with if receiver goes no fishing, then i bought a back up receiver and had 2 at all times.. fast forward a year later and maybe 20 to 30 nights use the main receiver went so i was on the back up again ( never been used only stored away ), thats when i sort of backed off being an ATTS fan boy.. love gardner gear but gonna give the sounding head tlb with receiver a run out

Tlb are fine on any water with a flow, just set the indicator up with enough weight/tension to combat the flow.

A friend was going to buy a cheap set but decided not to as if a head goes wrong you can't buy one replacement you have to buy the whole set don't know if this is the case with the alarms mentioned

I " upgraded" from fox mmxrs to rx+ to be perfectly honest for what I use them for I didn't need to. The mmxrs did everything I needed. The rx+ are great alarms. Most of their features are not needed but. I have them if I really need to use them. I still have the mmxrs which remain in perfect working order.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
