I have a number of very seasoned carp angling friends that swear by them as the best alarms that they have ever used.

They are good, but best alarms ever is a bit of a stretch. I have a set of the R plus. The way you have to cycle through the settings is annoying, you have to keep pressing the volume so it gets louder and louder, untill you accidently go too far and have to start over. When you're trying to turn down the alarm is a pain.

The same with sensitivity. Having to cycle though all the settings to turn the sensitivity back up is seriously annoying and a very poor design choice. Not sure if that's any different on newer versions of them?

I have had a set since January and love mine, they are great for the money plus they look cool, which is a bonus.

I've been on the super plus and again fantastic alarms so far. Receiver range is good for 100m plus easily.

Well made alarms

Can anyone enlighten my why?


Mine is the same, I've had loads of liners that haven't picked up on the receiver. Maybe a a few more beeps would have woken it up, but it left me paranoid enough that I can never have the heads on silent.

Yep no receiver should have long distance range in my opinion
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
