Hi there,
I've owned and used both the originals and later Bug eye version, loved them and honestly can't say I ever had any problems with them.
Lovely reliable alarms, some people complained of receiver distance on originals but I never wandered far enough away from my rods to experience issues, in the end I sold them as I wanted something smaller and returned to my trusted old ATT's 😂😂😂😂
Cheers
Tel
👍👍

I'm happy with mine. I've been using a pair, with receiver, for nearly two years. I did drop them when connected to the stainless buzz bars and stick and cracked them both, but a quick phone call to ECU and I had them sent away and returned good as new for a fair price and quickly.

The volume, sound and sensitivity options are more than enough for me and when it comes to upgrading my 3 rod alarm setup, I'll get these.

Me and my old man both had them at different points and both of the receivers where terrible. It wouldn't register a bite in the next peg no more than 20 yards away. Alarms are great but receiver distance could be a deal breaker.

Such a shame for a well made alarm.

Why oh why use cheap FM when digital is the standard....

Corners cut for profit sadly!!!!

That's not something I've noticed as I don't wander that far very often, but definitely going to give it a test tomorrow when I'm out.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
