Hi i need advice on new alarms as mine are past it .

Anyway basically I always wanted delks, but are very pricey, so am now being advised to look at the Nash siren
R3's

Which has thrown me as I've sourced them so much cheaper than the newest Delks

Advice please chaps šŸ˜Ž

Very good alarms, if I wasn't a delkim user I'd be using them for sure.

You won't go wrong with Nash alarms. Ive had the original sirens, R3s and now R4s and they are fantastic. Never let me down and I've used them in all weathers.

That’s so good to hear, and I’d say, personally, at a decent price range, minds made up, once again, cheers lads…

Id say if you can stretch the budget enough go for the delks. If you cant afford that, you wont go far wrong with the R3 or R4's.

I bought the cheapest Nash alarm recently for around £20 (needed to send one of my Fox alarms off for repair) and honestly for the price I'm super happy with the performance of it, to the extent that I'm probably going to get another for day sessions through the winter

Ive got the Nash R3+ and honestly can’t fault them.

Ive had Delkim TXI+ ink the past which unfortunately had water ingress problems (which Delkim sorted straight away, there customer services are brilliant)

Agreed. Although you can’t buy directly from Carp Sounder in Germany at this present time, there are other outlets across Europe who you can buy from, Pecheur for example. I think once Andy Burnham sorts out trading with the EU again, you will start to see a lot more CS alarms on the bank in the UK and once they become a serious option, will take a huge slice of the Delkim/Fox new sales moving forward.
I’ve only had them a few weeks, but am absolutely loving my Carp Sounder Age One’s!

Set of 3 Wolf Qi's with Hubb for Ā£360 @ TFT if you ask nicely, or Ā£399 if you don't want to, 4 year warranty, a lot of alarm for not a lot of money. They are however quite big, so if your more interested in what an alarm looks like, rather than what it does, they might not be for you šŸ‘

If you really want Delkims, you can get the new EV-R 3 rod presentation set for only £30 more than the R3 3 rod presentation set.

I have the R4s but I don't use all their functionality so personally I should have stayed with the R3s or get the R3+. If you intend to do boat work and fishing rivers go for the R4. If not go for R3 or R3+.
Are you sure?
