If you want repairs and replacements you want Delkim, a fantastic business model, not fit for purpose thus creating an excellent repair revenue stream. There's a reason their after sales is good, too many returns!! The greatest con ever conceived in the history of Carping.

Most repairs they carry out are f.o.c,they even replaced an alarm for me once even though it was my fault it broke

I dont doubt it when you're knocking everyone else once a year for water ingress.

Two re-seals charged twice, i guess i was just unlucky.

And we've both been around long enough to know water ingress on heads was a major design flaw.

Two sets of delks in my time, both water ingress, after reseal and no fix they had to go and never buy them again.

Just the one set for me but all 3 heads had to go in for water ingress in the first 2 years. When they returned the third they kindly let me know I'd need to send the receiver in for an update too. Couldn't wait to see the back of them

I must admit i was very wary about buying the the new txid's after two of my last txis failed in the rain but ive used the d's since they came out soley on the river trent for barbel in horrific conditions and i havent had a single issue with them and fishing the mighty trent is probably the biggest test of all. So i cant complain this time around. I was delkims biggest hater but they have changed my hate back into love.

Whats the difference between the two receivers goose other than the display? I really hope they last as british made is a big bonus for me and they tick all the right boxes.

Screen just allows to to veiw what your doing when setting the alarms up and scroll through the history of head activity.

Is the trent day ticket? May have to come up and maybe get old geezer and doin a brew and yourself together for a social.

👍🏻 Yes loads of it is day ticket. I usually fish the a1 pits stretch which is day ticket as well. You never know what your going to catch from a huge barbel or 30lb carp or a big catfish or sturgeon, all adds to the excitement. I havent been able to go since we got the puppy and hes to hyper to take fishing at the minute. The speed hes growing im going to need a two man bivvy to accommodate him, hes only 20 wks old and he was 28kg yesterday.

I had the two rod set in my basket just before and nearly pulled the trigger but think i will weight a bit longer 😀 £450 seemed a good price. I did sign up to there news letter as it said an additional 5% off but it wouldnt accept the code when i entered it. Just watched a couple of videos of them on youtube and there so much easier to change the settings than my delks mind 👍🏻

Be good if its true. People can say a lot of things to get you to buy stuff. Proof of the pudding is if they actually stand up to there word and only time will tell on that one. If there as reliable as they say we might never find out how good there customer service is 😀 I just wish they were a little bit smaller. The more videos i watch on them the more they grow on me mind. I was hovering over the complete purchase button when i had them in my basket but never bothered and ended up spending the money on a new strap for my watch instead.
Are you sure?
