Yeah the same as what I've seen.

It's between the two usual candidates, Rx+ or TXI-D V2

Obviously the delks are much newer so debating on the fox as they have been released for 8 years.
I know both are good alarms, I'm just thinking about the cost of the Rx+ when they may release new ones. Then again they may not as their Rx+ are quality.

"Don't fix what's not broken" But it's about making money and there are idiots like me that like the latest alarms.

I don't suppose anybody know of any rumours or dates that Fox may be releasing a new high end alarm?

Just wondering as I need some new alarms, didn't want to buy a set then they release a new set.

My mate bought the new solar barrow when it was released

Since then he's had three sets of rear wheels from solar as the arms buckle/bend very easily,
Solar admitted that they had shipped the new barrows with the old version wheels. The third set of wheels they sent him are the "v2" wheels with a small reinforcement inside the arms that the wheels attach to. To me it looks like this was just an after thought as its just two plates welded to the inside support.

1k for a barrow with this qc is ridiculous?

They're not the Chinese ones.

These are made by Orisec, a UK based manufacturer.

Sailvvay also make / sell bait boats starting from 1k up to about 2k.

Have a look on sailvvay website and see what you think. Not that you can really tell much from that but it may give you a better idea.

Evening anglers..
I've noticed on social media since Tom Maker released his latest video lots of people have been questioning the alarms that he was using. ( me included )
They look very similar to the fox RX+ alarms so people were thinking they were potentially a new replacement or maybe a new Korda alarm ( so I've read )

However they are: Sailvvay SV1.

They are basically the fox RX+ without the price tag and a different styling, all though very similar.
They have pretty much the same tone options also with drop back differentiation.
Very similar controls on the front and back of the alarms and receiver.

I had a set delivered today, even though I've not used them yet they feel solid, very well made.
The control dials are a little stiff to turn but that could be because they are new.

The one bad issue that I have come across so far is the rubber alarm cases that come with them.
They are made from a very lightweight rubber.
This usually wouldn't be an issue as its a nice bit of protection but the issue is that as the alarm has the on/off toggle switch, I've already accidentally turned the alarm on when putting it back in the case due to having no real structure to it to keep the case away from the switch.

Obviously I've not used them on the bank yet or for any period of time but I thought I'd give my first impressions.

For only £298 for 3 + 1 they are looking decent so far.

After a break from carp fishing I've decided to itch that scratch... again!

I was wondering after a little while away from the sport, Have any of the "cheaper" brands such as NGT, Carp Spirit, Advanta (AD) etc improved / competitive to the higher end products/manufacturers ?

I know usually you get what you pay for but are these manufactures as good or close to the quality of more expensive companies? minus the carp tax?

So, I've been wondering about this for quite some times now and thought I'd ask it on here, I'll give it a go at explaining it in the best way I can. ( Probably won't turn out very well ) lol

General situation: If you're fishing peg x,y,z you need to be fishing in spots x,y,z if you want to be in with a chance of a bite. (Spots x,y,z are all 16+ wraps for eg)

From the front of the swim to the spots there is obviously a vast amount of water and potentially margins too with different bottoms throughout.

I was just wondering why do some people think this way, do they believe the carp won't feed or swim in any other area of the swim/lake?

If there is a nice area a single rods length out is that to be ignored over a similar spot x amount of wraps out just because it is x amount of wraps out?

If there is a baited spot 15 yards out do people think they won't feed on it because it's not the "go to" area?

This isn't a dig at anybodies angling, I'm just curious as to what people thing about finding spots or where fish will / won't feed etc.

My personal opinion is if you find a nice area and bait it with either prebait or hook bait a fish or multiple will eventually come across it and feed.

I bought this when I got back in to carp fishing, mainly just because of the price and it had an under barrow bag.

As you say it's nice and light and has a relatively small footprint however you can get all your gear on if you play a bit of Tetris.

I did end up changing to a fox explorer deluxe and it had made my angling easier having a bigger barrow as the weight was distributed better and was more stable.

I personally use the ESP boilie pult & the Korda light.

I had the Jag catapult, tried it with different elastics and it was the worst one I've used. Total waste of money so gave it to a mate. Clearly not a good mate.

I'm sure you will be fine with it. Definitely a good tool to have.
Hope you enjoy!
