Another vote for ATTs
Used most alarms over the years but keep coming back to the old faithful and ever reliable ATTs.
Never had any real issues with weed/wind drag, or false alarms described elsewhere, well certainly no more so than any other alarm I've owned, just adjust line tightening and bobbin drop accordingly, always stuck with 2 magnet version wheel.
I did try the TLB Plus and liked them, from a functionally pov they're not so different from ATT's, other than a speaker, they're just as bomb proof, however were a fickle bunch, all different in what we like/dislike so stuck with the ATT's.
Just my opinion and experience👍👍

ATTS just switched over from TLB +'s
Bought the extended snags ears and some 4mag kudos rollers
So far can't fault them 👍

a BIG plus point for ATTs alarms
as they are so bomb proof buying second hand set your pretty much safe so if your on a budget its a good way of making a saving
on Ebay there is a underlit set of 3 with receiver and extras for £150 you should be able to buy an underlit setup for £150 or the earlier version even cheaper
get your thumb sorted as good buys come up in classifieds on here

Which will be worth it. Once you use delks there's a good chance you won't like anything else, especially if you've been using them for a long time

I must have the worst luck in the world as i had a few issies with my ATTs. One of them randomly started going off on its own, and another one randomly drained the batteries. My receiever failed too, well the button stopped working, which i believe was an issue only in the early recievers.

Changing the batteries on them in an absolute pain in the rear end as well.

They're OK alarms, but I never grew to love them. I loved my TLBs, but they were the worst alarms in the wind I've ever used. Nothing you could do to stop them beeping constantly.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
