I've got a set of Delrin mk4 bug eyes, had them around 18 months. Had a few issues with one of them to start but got it sorted through Steve.
The range is better from a couple of tests in France although I mostly just use the sounder to keep my fishing to myself. Heads on silent and sounder super low volume next to me.
Bug eyes are good in the daytime but in the pitch black of night, you can't tell which rod has gone as the whole swim is lit up, mine are all the same colour which just makes it worse.
The storm setting is a massive upgrade, really good on windy sessions etc.

Only one way to go from delks and thats rx+. Sold my delk d's early in the year and went to the rx. I hated the looks in the photos but there actually nice in the flesh. Feel much better built than my delks as delks feel cheap imo and the rx+ feel quality.

Disagree! All new fox alarms look like Tonka toys to me . . .oversized and clunky - a backwards design step in both looks and functionality from the RX Digitals I owned for decades.
Stick with Delks - my TXIDs (V1s) and EVDs have been perfect - compact / decent functionality and remote / excellent accessories (eg integrated snag ears / slim-lite indicators etc)
Whats not to like?!

That be the same Delks that look like tonka toys against Nev's which make a noise, do sensitivity and are waterproof unlike (most) Delks 😂😂.
I have never ever understood how someone is prepared to spend their hard earned on something that might or might not be waterproof 😂😂 😛

Because most of us have been using them for decades with absolutely no problems?

Maybe you n Belch are the only ones with sets that are waterproof. The rest of us must have been unlucky

Clearly not. Only alarms that I've ever had a fault on had fox badges!

Had TXI for at least 10 years. Used in all weather throughout the seasons and never had a fault.

I thought that as well when i saw the photos of them. Look and feel premium in the hand where the new delks look and feel like something from temu.

Lol, another stupid Alarm thread.
Each to their own, horses for courses.
Walk round most lakes and you'll see the majority of alarms are Delk's, and there's a good reason for that.
