Just had a look on the website and they use a roller wheel. Not too sure what the Vibration Detection System is though as it just says VDS. High Sensitivity Roller Wheel Detection – RWD.

I was meaning the initial way the alarm registers a bite.

V groove registering vibration and movement
- Delkim

Roller wheel
- Nash
- Fox
- Gardener
- Korum
- Sonik

As I said I think if you find an alternative that is better then these then your onto a winner otherwise it would just be another bite alarm with the same tech that's already available.

I think the vibration tech is patented by delkim, could be a slippery slope going down that road.

I believe most other alarms use a roller wheel and then different tech to attempt stopping false readings like wind etc. interfering.

IMO if you could find something more effective than a roller wheel or perhaps more reliable then your over halfway there. Lets be real the majority of modern alarms all have volume, tone & sensitivity adjustments so I would expect these all to be included with a strong & waterproof housing.

Can anybody point me in the right direction where to get some good quality from?

Check their Facebook mate, loads of up to date info and catch reports.

Looks like its been pretty much mainly cats coming out since re-opening with the odd carp.

Try giving Cheam Angling a call or any smaller independent shops.

I bought a few in January because everywhere seemed to be replacing with the latest, probably the same as your finding now but even more difficult. I was only going to buy the one to complete a 4 rod setup but the owner was joking that he could probably up the price as so many people were struggling to find them, ended up walking out with 3.

Anybody know where to get Krill for a decent price? I used to get it from Erics before it closed but can't find anywhere that can match or get close to what I was paying anymore.

Korda medium sinkers matched with Korda 4mm beads. Perfect for top beads on a naked heli

Completely agree. Will not think twice about getting another thinking anglers mat when the time comes.

I had exactly the same problem, now I put them in my zipped sunglasses case and have not lost any since. Not perfect but better than nothing.
