Delkim ev-d

[Neil Gallimore]

Whats everyone's views on these
I believe when they were for sale they had the same build quality as the Txi-ds but obviously didn't have receiver and was missing a few of the gimmicks but were absolutely bullet proof
I also believe the Gardner ATT's are really good for chasing Boris but you need a reciever for sound with them
The reason I'm asking is I've managed to bag 3 x ev-ds brand new still in box's for £136 I will be only using them when I'm night fishing as I enjoy watching the tip in daylight
So just thought I would ask people's views on them

I had a pair briefly, I still kick myself for selling them as I got them for £30 each in a sale

Solid alarms, easy to source 9v battery, very sensitive if needed. Gutted I don't have them anymore.

Quality alarms and a good price but I wouldn't entertain an alarm without a receiver.
Volume on the heads turned down to zero with the receiver (in my pocket or hanging from my chair) volume set low and vibrate.

I owned 5 now own 2 ... for the price I can't fault them . I've never ever been let down by any Delkim .

Great alarm - I have a few
Use them all weathers for piking and no issues
Good battery life, can add and remove snag ears, loud enough and a neat mute function when setting drop-offs
I use then as front rests for barbel( with snag ears) pretty much all the time ,only turning them on if I know I’m going to be distracted ( tying rigs) or in the dark
Even then I have the volume right down and watch for the leds.most barbel bites unmistakable but if the pike are torpid and sitting on baits , as they sometimes do, the vibration sensing can help prevent a deep hooked fish.

You can now buy Gardner ATTS with a speaker so no need for sounder box

Thanks everyone for your replies ... hopefully I will be trying them out next week and even more hopefully I will bag an elusive Dee Boris

I’ve used ev-d ‘s for a good few years, can’t fault them, apart they don’t work with a receiver, I’ve just bought a 2 set of fox micron x’s with a receiver, which for the money seen spot on
