KEITH, It is truly an embarrassment how quickly we get out of touch as we age. In fact, I would bet I haven't spent 3 hours in the last three years with an angler committed to EURO style carp fishing. I have never even seen a Delkim TXI Bite Alarm. Truth is I know nothing of their effectiveness. At one time I was a superb freeline sight angler - - - let's see -- - - how about 1973 Phone

The Mitchell Avocet looks like a great reel and for a little over £20 it sounds like it was a really good deal Keith

Great to see a tench in the canal, that’s the first one I’ve seen in truth. There’s been some good perch caught at Enborne up on the stick ups and a 4lb bream made an appearance on the help the heroes match. Well worth a trip. Pegs 28, 19, 14 and 5 all worth a try.

I Guess the bleeper would still work even when the bulb has blown?? (depending on how it's wired) & yes Keith, I can't see how can cope with drop back bites either in its own right. I have a Mitchell Avocet bait runner (not alarmed) & I have to say it's very good for the money, it was on offer from local tackle shop & can't have been much over £20 or so - must have been a good deal, Me being a Yorkshireman!! I also have a nice Daiwa graphite runner. Again, not much money.
