Pros:
|
Full range of sensitivity, volume and tone controls. Ideal for still water and rivers. No moving parts. Excellent after sales service. Comes with nice soft plastic covers.
|
|
Cons:
|
The only weakness that I can see is the on/off switch. You could switch it on by mistake or break it.
|
|
Superb The best alarms ever made and they are British!

Pros:

sensitivity, will bleep if a fish so much as farts in your swim, so set the sensitivity to the conditions or you will be bouncing out of the bivvy all night!
|
|
Cons:
|
They really DO NOT like hailstones.If you could right some words to go with the cacaphony of three Delks singing away, I am sure you would have a chart topping tune.
|
|
Excellent , sensitive and reliable. After 18mts of using them well pleased.

Pros:
|
Very sensitive: Twin LEDs allow you see it go off from any angle. Strong build quality, easy to use controls. Excellent on/off switch lets you see at a glance from bivvy that you remebered to switch them on! Brilliant range of tones. Excellent night marki
|
|
Cons:
|
Back battery panel can be a pain to clip in. Maybe too nice because when people walk into your swim you think they are casing your Delks! Price could put many off.
|
|
Who can top these? The undisputed leader in the alarm world it does not get any better than this. It can take a while and a good few visits to get to know your Delks and to learn how to dial in the controls for any given situation, but once done they give you confidence in

Pros:
|
Sensitivity is first class, I free line for tench in the margins, with ultra light weight bobbins and these register the drop backs on a pick up!Ability to increase/decrease the LED illumination on the alarms to daylight conditions.Not affected by rain.
|
|
Cons:
|
Now I'm going to be really picky!After using older alarms (optonics), when I use these on a high sensitive setting, a 1"" lift can sound like a screaming run! So beware! although you do get used to this.Back panel battery cover as mentioned in previous r
|

Probably the best alarms in the world If your thinking of upgrading your alarms, I really don't think you can better these. Ok the initial cost is high, but you get what you pay for. They are sensitive, reliable, great back up service (so i've heard as I've never needed this, but nice to know

Pros:
|
Sensitivity and adjustment
|
|
Cons:
|
Battery back plate easy to dislodge. Blinding LED at night. Look a bit home made compared to Fox products.
|
|
Excellent Good value if bought on ebay as Delkim operate (illegal) retail price fixing with its dealers who only sell at RRP. Typically

Pros:
|
The sensitivity control is excellent for use on windy/still days, or when using a semi-fixed or running rig. The battery life is first class, volume and tone control are fully adjustable, and this combined with good reliability, and the fact that they can
|
|
Cons:
|
None really, but when I use fox swingers, the on-off switch is difficult to access due to the gap between the swinger base and switch being so small. (I suppose I could just switch the alarms on before screwing them to a bankstick, and annoy a few people
|
|
Excellent, sensitivity adjustment is superb No complaints whatsoever, I would recommend these wholeheartedly, and if lost or stolen would definitely buy another pair.
