Hi guys , I've just sent my third TXI D back for repair and have decided that's enough of the Delkims for me now . I'm really out of the loop with carp fishing gear nowadays and was wondering what alarms people are using for reliability, quality and performance. Cost isn't really a factor just want something that's works well. Thanks

Carp Sounder are the best alarms , designed and manufactured in Germany , they are super reliable , however no one on here will admit that the British bite alarm companies have been overtaken by Ze Germans.

Look at the Age one.

I'm not an alarm specialist and you'll definitely get a lot of replies that will make your list longer to narrow down.

My best advice is start to narrow down the features you want and find an alarm that meets your needs:

* Normal Battery OR Rechargeable?
* Simple tone / sensitivity / volume OR extra features from an app?
Etc etc

Have a look at the Nash Siren range. This video explains quickly the difference between each one - https://youtu.be/dIpERURO2SI?si=YK8HFQq-Mgz0I_vr

Hope this helps 👍

Fox RX, does everything, not just Carp fishing, ie vibration for Pike etc.
Fox RX+, Rumour on here pre Christmas was there's a newer version coming out soon as the design is already being sold by other Chinese outlets very cheaply, search the forum for RX+ 👍 a few on here bought them too.


EDITED, thanks for pointing out Exildedcarper

I have 2 sets od Carp sounder bite alarms (old serie SUPER IT) . Since 2015 I don't have any trouble with them in ALL weather conditions-rain,snowing, freezing and hot temperatures,they never missed a beat. Quite simple functions but so reliable. My next set will be their last model -Age one. I was never thinking about Delkim,Nash or Fox bite alarms and in the last 10 years od use it was my best decision.

Carp Sounder have just released the Age Pro. Does look like the ultimate roller wheel alarm but no UK distribution and once you factor importing them the cost is a little OTT.

Sold my delk d's and bought ecu's and love them.

Agree with you but for me (in EU) is very affordable price for non Pro model (300€ for 3+1 Set), and that model have everything what any angler need on the bank.

Edwards custom upgrade mk2, I love mine I cannot fault them.

Thanks for the different suggestions guys ,some decent bits of kit there. Will probably buy the carp sounder ones as they have certain features I'm looking for and you can buy them through Pecheur at a very affordable price 👍

RX+ doesn't have vibration sensing. Solid alarms though. I've had a set since they came out and they have never missed a beat, which is more than I can say for my Delkim Txi 's
Mind you, the Delks were great, as long as you didn't fish in anything like damp conditions.

Had original Txi and now had TXi plus for around 8 years with no problems in any conditions.
Had Fox DXR around 20 odd years ago and they were great alarms, don't know why I got rid of them.

I had same problem with Txi's so went with ECU instead and never looked back.

I am in the same boat . Just too many gripes with the new Delkim's for me . I thought about it for a while but for me it was an easy choice to go with the fox rx plus alarms . I know lots who use them

Had same problems with txid so went to fox rx+ they were just as bad on off switch stopped working on all off them after guarantee expired. Thing I will go back to washing up liquid tops
