Yeah the bleep speed is pretty much set at home haven't changed it since.....and the it's just response speed depends on how you are fishing ie locked up or if the wind or tow are bad...

I really like my TXI-Ds. Found the TXI plus too sensitivity even on negative setting and the receiver in new ones is spot on.... streets ahead of the old one.

The Do Not Disturb on the receiver at night is quality too......

Only get up for a proper run.



I didn't like the RX+ after having NTXrs just though they weren't as solid. What I do like about the Fox's is the speaker quality is superb.

I thought it was the response dial you change depending on the fishing situation

Always used Delkims myself, never had any problems, but I have heard from people on the bank (not keyboard warriors! :D ) who I respect and would listen, that the Delk vibration system is not as good on Dropbacks.
Which maybe valid.
(BTW, that's not a slur at people who post on forums but sometimes these bite alarm debates get heated and you can't believe one thing from the next! )
Hard to do a side by side test but I could see it being possible.
Not bothered, love my Delks, they give me enough on dropbacks the rare time I get them.

That for me was a key area I expected Delkim to address with the new model, the Drop-Back indication on the NTXR's & RX's is superb.

I think if you could take some features from the Delkim txi-d and the Fox rx+ you could have the perfect alarm.Maybe the Wolf Iq is going be just that,

I used to own a set of Delkim TXI's but sold them when I started fishing a park lake as I didn't want that kind of money sat on display. Ended up buying a set of Nash S5 alarms for £17 each and to be fair they have been brilliant. I only fish from a brolly and always set up with my rods just in front so the lack of reciever never bothered me.

If I am 100% honest I have no idea what the difference between the vibration/roller wheel does.

Buy delk txis. Iv had mine 10 years and never had a single problem with them and iv fished in every type of weather. If you cant spend the money then id say Gardner ATTS. Good alarms for the money

I can't say that drop back differentiation has ever been a major selling point for me. Had the old Fox SX for years which had it, now have the old style TXIs which don't. Either way I look at the bobbin and the line entering the water when the alarm makes a noise and that tells me what I need.

IMO being able to accurately adjust sensitivity depending on your situation is the most important thing with a bite alarm, an alarm set up for flat calm on a small lake is useless on a big windy water fishing at range. That was the main reason I couldn't get on with the ATTS, swapping roller wheels out depending on the weather/undertow didn't cut it.

If I was you, I would save myself a few quid and buy a set of ATT's , these really are great compact alarms. Good build quality and great after sales. I had a set a Delkim TXI' sprior to these and I would say they are easily as good?
