I use to have a set of alarms, years back, fox micron LXRs. They had a vibration sensitivity on them. Just a tap on side of alarm for trigger alarm. The line didn't have to move, j7st a knock on the rod would set it off.
Perfect for chub on the river.

A few times I've had a rod near pulled in my chub. I have the bait runners on but somethings not smooth enough. Been using normally roller wheel type alarms but not much use.

I don't want delkims, i believe the line still has to pass over the sensor to sound alarm anyway.

I'm after a cheapish alarm that if you tap the side of the alarm it will sound.

Any ideas?

I might have to hold out for a set of LXRs at the right price but.....

None have vibration sensing other than delkims as far as I'm aware. If you want something mega sensitive,and can find them then bitech vipers maybe. A fly farts 100 yards away and they bleep

Fox dxr
Ace i3
Fox sxv
Are a couple of others

Wolf Icon Qi
Wolf Icon Vi

Old RX digis/LXRs/DXR/SXV would all be very similar to your old alarms. All command a fair price these days.

Wolf Icon Qi, 4 year warranty so nothing to worry about if something does happen, and Daletronics will service after that (I asked). Quite often reduced, shop around

I have no complaints so far but its early days, I don't miss my modern Fox RX+ they replaced Had a couple of odd behaviours happen but after factory reset & repairing all is good. The after service contact for me has been A1.

If Qis hadn't been available I would have gone back to the older Fox RX Digitals.

Why not Delks? Brilliant, compact alarms - I have TXIDs and EVDs . . .EVDs are perfect for river fishing / barbel & chub bashing and although now discontinued can be picked up for a bargain!
