Delkim Bite Alarms in Focus!
DELKIM PLUS BITE ALARM
What’s on offer?
With all the functionality you’d expect from a leading brand, plus Delkim’s standard two-year guarantee (although expect your alarm to continue performing long after that), the Delkim Plus Bite Alarm is packed with all the features you need for a successful session, come rain or shine.
Two sensitivity ranges, together with fine sensitivity adjustment, make it effortless to set your alarm for optimum sensitivity whatever the water conditions; if it’s particularly breezy and choppy, you may want to lower the sensitivity setting, so you’re not responding to a leaf being blown against your line, while still waters demand top-quality sensitivity, in order to pick up the smallest movement under the surface.
With a volume range of 0-100+ decibels, you can rest assured that you’ll hear your alarm over the heavy river traffic of urban banks, while knowing that your sleep – and neighbours! – won’t be disturbed on quieter, more secluded swims. The Delkim Plus Bite Alarm’s wide tone range gives you the freedom to set the tone that’s right for you; after all, the last thing you want is to find your bite alarm annoying – especially during an active session that’s otherwise giving you exactly the fishing you want.
Twin super bright flash and latch LEDs, and five variable LED modes, make it easy to see a visual indication no matter what the ambient light is like; from blinding summer sun to the sombre, shifting tones of winter banks, your LED indication will show up sharp and clear, so you’ll know exactly when to go into action.
With stainless steel fittings, including locking ring and bolt, this alarm is rust-proof and weather resistant, giving you high-performance equipment that you can take out in all weathers, and that will last you for many sessions to come. As standard, Delkim alarms come with a 2yr warranty, but easily exceed that, without losing functionality.
A Delkim hard case is included, which offers complete protection for your Delkim Plus Bite Alarm in storage and in transit, and gives you the flexibility of being able to toss your bite alarm, in its case, into your holdall or bank bag without worrying whether it will arrive at the bank damaged. Even barrowing over the bumpiest terrain to hidden swims isn’t a problem once your alarm is safely stored in the Delkim hard case.
What do people say?
The Delkim Plus Bite Alarm has five-star reviews on Feefo, and customers particularly love the running sound of this alarm, as well as its high-performance practicality for the committed carp angler who prefers to fish with a three-rod set up.
Praise is also given for the build and design quality of this alarm, its superb value for money, and the fact that it has no moving parts, so, unlike bite alarms from other brands, can’t easily wear out, even when exposed to harsh bankside conditions.
In terms of customer service, the quality of service customers report more than backs up the quality of the alarm, giving you the peace of mind of knowing you’re buying from people who care, and who want to make sure your experience is right, first time, all the way.
Carp anglers rate the flexibility and versatility of the entire Delkim range as being the best performance for their discipline, with the range of sensitivity, and ease of adjustment, offering the freedom and flexibility to fish any water, in any weather, and be assured of never missing a bite.

DELKIM TXI PLUS ELECTRONIC BITE ALARM
What’s on offer?
Featuring Delkim’s tried and tested vibration sensing, which picks up the most subtle movement in any water conditions, and with two sensitivity ranges, so you can adapt your bite alarm’s sensitivity to suit the water conditions, lowering it for choppy or fast-flowing water, so that you’re not leaping to your feet for something that turns out to be debris disturbance, rather than a subtle take, and raising it for flat, calm waters where any movement is going to be something you want to know about.
Unique, individual transmitter codes prevent accidental activation of other anglers’ alarms, ensuring that you don’t end up the focus of a bankside’s rage by the end of a long winter’s night.
With twin clear, high visibility flash and latch LEDs, five variable LED modes, including Delkim’s patented Night Marking Mode, where two clear, bright, LEDs show you the precise position of your bite alarm – and, by extension, your rod – against the darkest night light, eliminating the need for beta lights, which are banned in many EC countries, and effective audio and visual replication system, the TXI Electronic Bite Alarm means you'll always know exactly what's going on with your lines, even when the light conditions on your bankside are constantly changing, while audible low battery and battery fail warnings ensure you’ll never end up blanking because your batteries have died.
Complete with an ultra-protective hard case for keeping your alarm safe on your barrow or in your carryall, and an anti-theft alarm for complete peace of mind, the TXI is a bite alarm that’s built to survive, and backed by the confidence inherent in Delkim’s standard two year guarantee.
What do people say?
The resounding consensus on the Delkim TXI Electronic Bite Alarm is that it is a top-quality piece of bankside kit that is designed for the committed angler, rather than a tackle tart’s easy kudos, yet it still has the looks you want, setting you apart on a crowded bankside for all the right reasons.
Customers buying the TXI particularly liked the fast delivery, which ensures that the bite alarm arrives before your fishing enthusiasm wanes.

DELKIM EV PLUS BITE ALARM
What’s on offer?
With a single, dynamic sensitivity setting, you might be tempted to consider the EV Plus an inferior alarm, even allowing for the constant Delkim quality. Fortunately, the high-performance vibration sensing more than covers the functionality that other alarms in the Delkim range provide through dual level sensitivity, while the high volume and wide tone range give you the freedom and flexibility to set up your alarm your way, and ensure your bankside experience is everything you imagined it would be, whatever the weather.
Patented Attended Delkim Night Marking, along with the super bright flash and latch twin LEDs, ensure that, even when your bite alarm is on its quietest setting, to avoid disturbing sleeping neighbouring anglers, you’ll always know about even the subtlest bite, in plenty of time to swing into action, and bring that bite to the bank quickly, cleanly, and, most importantly, safely.
With a durable brass bolt and locking ring, and a speaker test that operates as soon as the alarm is switched on, you can be assured not only that your EV Plus Bite Alarm will last a lifetime, but also that you’ll start every session with the peace of mind that comes from knowing, before your first cast, that your alarm is ready to go, and can give you the functionality you need to make the most of your time on the bank.
As with all Delkim alarms, the EV Plus is backed by the confidence and performance of a two-year guarantee, making Delkim a sound investment whatever your budget.
What do people say?
The Delkim EV Plus Bite Alarm doesn’t let the brand down, collecting the five-star Feefo reviews that have become the benchmark for Delkim’s bite alarms. One negative review, where a customer’s alarm simply failed to work, was resolved by the prompt, professional sending of a replacement alarm by Angling Direct, which impressed the customer. Even the best products sometimes have their issues, and, when things do go wrong, what makes the difference is how quickly the problem is resolved, and whether the company concerned makes the process feel smooth and hassle free. It is clear from this experience that Angling Direct are the perfect fit for Delkim’s range of products, bringing the same commitment to exceeding expectations to their customer service as Delkim bring to the products they offer.
Overwhelmingly, however, the comments and reviews of this bite alarm were as resoundingly positive as you’d expect for a Delkim product, with customers particularly liking the affordable performance and ease of use.
Standing as a testament to the indication abilities of the Delkim EV Plus Bite Alarm, one customer was very pleased to have caught a 22lb mirror on their first outing with the Delkim, thanks in no small part to the alarm’s superior sensitivity.
Customers were also impressed with the all-weather functionality of the EV Plus, which sees it deliver reliable performance and results even in pouring rain.

Goes Well With a Delkim
So, you’ve now ordered your brand-new, high-performance Delkim bite alarm, but you’ve still got money, or AD Rewards points, burning a hole in your pocket (or digital wallet, in the case of the Reward points.) What’s the perfect accompaniment to a top of the range Delkim alarm?
Well, that depends on what frame of mind you’re in following your bite alarm purchase – practical, fun-loving, or looking for something completely different.
Practicality
If you’re looking for the perfect practical accessory to complement your Delkim bite alarm purchase, then a coloured Delkim hard case is a sensible choice.
Offering complete protection to the latest addition to your angling kit, whilst standing out in the depths of a kit bag, and allowing you to bring a little of your personality down to the bankside, the hard case is available in your choice of six colours, from classic, stylish black, to vibrant white, and a range of bold colours in between.
The brighter colours of this range of hard cases are ideal if you’ve purchased the bite alarm as a gift for an enthusiastic young angler, but would also suit older, more cynical hands – after all, who doesn’t want to avoid frustration of trying to find one particular black case, in the dark depths of a bag that’s filled with other black storage cases, while the light is fading as you arrive at a bank in the depths of winter?

Fun
The Delkim logo insulated thermal mug will bring a smile to your face even when the need to pay the bills takes you far away from your favourite bankside, and combines a bit of fun with genuine practicality.
Able to hold up to 330mls, this mug gives you the caffeine boost you need when you’re facing the Monday morning commute, while the lid, and all-round thermal insulation, ensures your hot drink stays at the perfect temperature until you reach the office. Once at your desk, the non-slip base prevents accidents and spills, and gives you a durable way to enjoy your coffee, tea, or beverage of choice throughout the day.
Made from stainless steel, and presented in stylish black, this mug makes a great gift for the angler in your life, as well as being an affordable way to remind yourself of the best brand for carp angling bank accessories.
Something Completely Different
You’ve got the Delkim bite alarm – how about a Delkim Clear Slimlite Indication Set, which connects directly to the NiteLite socket on any of the Delkim Plus range of bite alarms, and offers a self-adjusting, non-twist, dual magnetic line clip, that will stay on your line until the strike.
Ideal for slack lining, these indicators offer smooth strike release, with no snatching or potential overtightening, while the CatFlex2 cable assembly gives you the hang and flex of chain, on a 125mm cable length. Threaded to take C-Slot drag weights of 3g, 5g, or 10g, this indication set can be used free hanging, or attached to a SlimCarb.

Give Your Angling A Great Reception
The Delkim Rx Plus Pro Mini Receiver is the ideal bite alarm receiver, and designed to be fully compatible with all Delkim alarms that are fitted with a transmitter.
The FM radio receiver system offers patented digital reception of bite alarm codes, tones, and battery condition data, giving you optimal, informed performance throughout the 6,000 hour potential battery life of your receiver; battery life depends on use, distance settings chosen, and bankside conditions. The Rx Pro Plus Mini can take signals from up to 24 transmitters, with the capacity to programme up to four transmitters to a single LED. Radio activity monitoring provides audible and visual alerts of high levels of radio interference, which can be limited by switching to the Local setting, which also maximises battery life. Effective for up to 50 metres, the Local setting is offered alongside the Distance setting, which is effective for up to 200 metres.
Proven to be the most reliable and best-performance bite alarm receiver on the market, the Rx Plus Pro Mini comes with attachments for fixing to your belt or rod rest, and a clear cover, which allows you to adjust your settings in pouring rain without getting the delicate electronics of your receiver wet – because carp fishing isn't just a fairweather pursuit.
With an anti-theft alarm giving you complete peace of mind in every setting, and a vibration alert for those quieter bankside moments, the Delkim Rx Plus Pro Mini Receiver, paired with any of the Delkim range of bite alarms, is the first choice for anglers across the world.
What Are People Saying?
Night session anglers absolutely love the Rx Plus Pro Mini Receiver, as the vibro alert is loud enough to ensure you don't miss any takes, even while you're snuggled up asleep in your bivvy. Secret squirrel anglers are also fans of the vibration setting, which allows you to keep your catches quiet, even on the busiest commercial lake.
Many anglers have commented that, really, vibro alert is all you need – the Rx gives a very loud alert in other modes, which, as well as being a bit of a shock to the system, can result in a spooked fish throwing the hook – not what you want, or what Delkim were aiming for.
All in all, anglers rate this as a brilliant bit of kit that's easy to set up, although several people have noted that the Local mode, which is best used when you're encountering a lot of radio interference, or want to conserve battery, is a little hit and miss; the Distance mode is a much more reliable setting.

The consensus is clear; if you want to go the distance with your angling, buy yourself a Delkim bite alarm and receiver.
