The Delkim Tx-i Plus is Delkim’s top of the range bite alarm packed full of features and fully compatible with the RX Plus Pro 6 LED Mini Receiver.

Brand Synopsis
The story goes….In the late 1970’s, carp anglers DEL Romang and KIM Donaldson put their names together to form DELKIM. The idea for today’s Delkim actually came to Del in a dream in 1983; when he woke up with a start in the early hours and ran naked downstairs to run a piece of fishing line across the stylus of his record deck! The resulting Patent Application invented the Delkim Vibration System which took nine years of intensive development until 1992 for Del to perfect, and the rest, as they say, is history!
Verdict
Reliability in a box! That’s what you get with Delkim. In their various guises they have been the weapon of choice for discerning carp anglers for many years, offering unflappable bite detection in any weather. The Tx-i Plus is the culmination of years of expertise in digital & microprocessor technology, attractively placed into a little box of magic that will never let you down – once you’ve had your first one-toner on a Delkim, you’ll never go back to anything else!.
