Ive used ATTs for years and still love them and they have never never let me down. However I see less of them on the banks nowadays and they are starting to feel a bit dated. I try to help it but I can't, my eyes are wandering with a 20 year itch. I like the simplicity they give me so would only ever want simple but itch and itch I do.

Has anyone kissed goodbye to theirs and regretted it?

I'm told there's a cream for that.

What a nightmare, I'd have had to have gone back or got my gear out before it went south. She will have flogged all that and took a trip to the Maldives. Disaster.

Having got together once with such a kind lady i couldn't believe my luck as she gave me £5k worth of gear. Couldn't believe my luck either as the alarms were far superior to the delkims.

Didn't realise they had been around for 20 years? If so time flys!

I am still using some Fox STR digitals, faultless, if it's not broke don't fix it. If you fancy a change get shut, choices

I use ATT's. One of the Gardner chaps was fishing / filming at the same lake as me a couple of months ago, saw the ATT's and commented how rare it is to see them. I too have had them for a very long time; and just recently replaced the backs - which had cracked - the screws, gasket, etc. Like new, for about £20. You just can't fault it. Of all the tackle that has come and gone over the years, the ATT's are the only bit of kit that I have never felt the need to change.

I could only imagine mate and such a shame to endure what one did. Pleased to hear that you're in a happier place, long may it continue and apologies if any offence caused. Never had atts but by all accounts as you say appear decent.

All the best buddy and no doubt catch up on another thread.

Been there, done that, my first Mrs took to drinking after Post Natal depression and is now not even able to have a conversation as it has totally taken her mind.
I can feel your pain. I hope you are now in a good place.

In response to the OP, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Compared to most alarms available now ATTS and TLB's are probably still better than most alarms with e exception of current Delkims.

(Cue Delkim vs Fox etc)

Got a set of ATTS alarms i use on the river barbel fishing and love them.

Carp fishing i use the original Delkim TXI alarms which do everything i want. But actually thinking of changing to a set of ATTS as i love the simplicity of them and how compact they are.

Thanks mate no one sees the other side of it that men can go through stuff with the women being the aggressor normally it's the man but I went through a lot of **** back then had to make a break and things got left behind not just fishing related,I had to leave my 2 Staffies there who always came with me it was heartbreaking 💔 and i still think about them now 8.5 years on,her I have no feelings for I DO feel sorry for her as she had issues before I met her(domestic violence and an attempted rape)but that's it.
I urge anyone man or women never to go through things like that go and seek help

ATT's if I had the opportunity to buy them again I would my friend rated them highly and also think of it like this if not many are using them isn't it nice to be different
