I have used Fox alarms for ages now and had very few problems with them mechanically. The only problems I have had have been due (I think) the the roller mechanism. These being:
When eel fishing with a drop off bobbin, a fast take often gives just a single bleep when the bobbin is released and the line pours off the spool without touching the roller, this happens wherever you place the butt ring in relation to the alarm
The other is if on an overnighter, drifting weed slowly pulls on the line. This can be so slow that it fails to register. At the weekend I woke to find the bobbin on the deck, still attached to the line as a clump of heavy weed had inched the line towards me, probably dragging the bait out of position or at least along the bottom for a foot or two.
Therefore I'm considering a set of Delkims. I'm a light sleeper so don't really see the need for the TXi system as I don't think I need a remote sounder especially when I consider 3 of these plus a receiver would cast arounf ?480!!! I've looked the the 'budget' EV plus at around ?60 and the Delkim plus at around ?85. The delkim plus appears to be the TXi without the receiver.
Anyone got any comment, feedback on these alarms?.any info welcome.
