I’ve got a set of Delrin mk4 bug eyes, had them around 18 months. Had a few issues with one of them to start but got it sorted through Steve.
The range is better from a couple of tests in France although I mostly just use the sounder to keep my fishing to myself. Heads on silent and sounder super low volume next to me.
Bug eyes are good in the daytime but in the pitch black of night, you can’t tell which rod has gone as the whole swim is lit up, mine are all the same colour which just makes it worse.
The storm setting is a massive upgrade, really good on windy sessions etc.

Quite like the look of the bug eyes i must admit. Had the mk3 and the receiver range wasn't great ,maybe its been improved

Tbh I'm not up to what 'mk' mine are but they are the newest ones that have an extra sensitivity 'storm' setting and bigger aerial in so you can be half a kilometre away and they still connect to the receiver

I have the Sonic SKS2 and Gizmo 2 both have been excellent, I’ve used them in all weathers for over 2 years.
Being an old git I also really appreciate the bivvy light

been there already (To DAL) got them 75% better once but said at the time it was pretty shagged.
And there was nothing else to be done.
Now its reverted to type im thinking of stacking in

Get on the MK4 Nevs. Worked throughout last weekends storms for me and the storm setting removed the false bleeps. Such amazing little alarms frequently overlooked for a load of features that really aren't necessary.

Agreed. As already said just get the alarm with the dodgy tone sorted out.
