GF Bite Alarms

Hi All, It has been a while since I posted as I had to unfortunately stop making the bite alarms due to new job commitments. I have a limited number of components to do a final run of GFs alarms just to use up this stock and free up some room in my spare bedroom !! I know that a lot of people on here gave me a great deal of encouragement when I took over the business and wanted to gauge demand for a limited run before I commit my time to actual manufacture them. I would be selling them for £19.99, the cases would be plain black with no markings (print companies want a large minimum run) but everything else would be as per standard GFs. So if anyone who is interested could just reply I can then decide if it is worth doing. Thanks Phil

Hi, I sill have the pole but not really interested in the swap. Thanks

Hi All, Thanks Steve for the voicemail. I am not able to make anymore units purely down to time commitments with my new job. The business is still up for sale for £3k which includes all injection mould tooling, existing stocks( which are quite substantial), and also designs & working prototype for a new wireless system which in itself cost £5k to develop and just needs tweaking. If you or you know anyone interested just PM me. Thanks Phil

Around 100 units, with no promotion at all other than a website, the business needs someone who has the time to actively promote and of course introduce the new wireless system.

Your right Steve thanks to all who helped in the development phase Just sorry I can't give it the time to come to fruition. The larger roller wheels are just a minor change to exisiting tooling so not a big deal at all.

Hi All, Unfortunately due to a change in jobs and a lack of time, the time has come to pass GF Bite Alarms on to somebody else. The business will be sold with all the injection mould tooling, and plenty of existing stock to enable the new owner to start trading straight away. The best thing is that I have paid for the development of a wireless system and a working prototype is available, this won't need much more work before it is ready to go on sale, ask Steve Burke on here he was impressed with the functionality of these prototypes which were developed with his kind help. This could be a cracking business for someone with the time to develop it. If anyone is interested just PM me on here and we can discuss further. Thanks Phil

Hi It is the standard Diaflash, sorry for delay in replying as I have been on holiday.

Open to offers on this

Hi, I have a Shimano Diaflash 14m Pole with spare top sections for sale. Looking for £175. Thanks Phil

Hi, I have a Shimano Diaflash that I am willing to sell which also has spare top sections. It is fairly old but in good condition and when new was one of the best poles on the market. Coud be ok if you wanted to try match fishing before spending all your budget and not liking it. Let me know if your interested.

Hi All, sorry i haven't been on here for a while but if anyone has any questions about my alarms don't hesitate to ask. Dave, hope you are pleased with the alarm and if you have any issues at all just let me know. Steve, as always thanks for the good words you write about my alarms, really is appreciated. Thanks Phil

Do you still have the scales for sale?

Thanks Brian I have received it.

All just to let you know, if you want to purchase on the website dont go to the shop page. If you click on GFs on products then scroll down to the bottom of the product description there is an 'add to cart' button which will then take you to Paypal. If anyone has problems let me know. Thanks

Hi, I keep getting a few emails asking if I am still making the GF Bite Alarms as they can't find the website. I think the issue is that most links on here are to the .co.uk website which I had to close down as it kept getting hacked and infected. Can I just let everyone know that I currently I only make the GFs alarm and that these can be ordered at www.gfbitealarms.com. They are £14.99 each. Thanks Phil

Hi Rich, I sent you a message, did you receive it? Phil

Hi Rich, I have a Shimano Diaflash which is just under 14M and I think 3 or 4 spare top sections with it if your interested. I am in Northampton. Phil

Hi all, I have just been to the website and it is working fine. To order all you do is go to products then GFs and at te bottom of the page there is an add to cart which takes you through to Paypal. In response to sportsman, I don't have any issues with you at all despite your earlier postl which I thought was unjustified, I have to point out that just because I havent responded to you straight away doesn't mean I won't, I work full time and long hours and have to make the alarms and respond to emails in the evenings and weekends, also surely I am allowed a day off arent I. I think if you ask most if not all of my past customers would be happy with the level of service I provide, and the quality of the product that I produce. They understand it is a handmade product and can take that bit longer to receive, but will last almost a lifetime and for £14.99 I think they all realise it is great value fo money.

Hi, Not totally sure that response was warrentied however if you want to buy an alarm all you have to do is go to www.gfbitealarms.com and order a GFs which are the only ones I manufacture at the moment If not buy a cheap chinese alarm that doesn't last very long. In response to yur comment about just putting alarms in a box most people on here know that I make alarms to order and are handmade so it isn't just a case of putting them in the post hence why I couldn't supply you. Sorry for getting married and all that. I t wold appear that some people don't appreciate handmade products anymore.

Hi Still here, Which website you using as I had to take .co.uk down it is now .com. Anyway if you need to get hold of me it is now philip.pepper3@ntlworld.com. I probably won't be continuing for too much longer unless sales pick up as it seems there isn't enough people out there that share the same view of GF Bite Alarms as members of this forum do. Thanks Phil

Hi All, Apologies for not keeping you all up to speed on the developments with the wireless system, it is because I am getting married in 2 weeks and I have been incredibly busy sorting all that out so the testing has temporarily gone on the back burner. One thing I would like to ask is if you are interested in a set of wireless units when they are completed could you just briefly reply to this. I am trying to gauge demand for the units as the existing GFs & GFx have seen a really big sales slump. I was talking to Steve earlier and mentioned to him that I believe alot of people would rather buy a set of Chinese made alarms for maybe £40 for 3 alarms and a receiver that may or may not work for long than buy my units. I have aready spent quite alot of money to develop the wireless alarms to have all the functionality requested from members here and just want to make sure I am not doing it all in vain. Phil

Hi Steve, still got weigh slings for sale.

Hi, The weigh slings are 50cm x 105cm. Thanks Phil

Yeh I can do that deal for you, I am in Northampton. Private message me if you are interested.

Hi still make the alarms but not the wireless kit, I am looking into why the website is down.
