Sonik SKS Carp Fishing Bite Alarm Set – With Free Bivvy Light 100% Waterproof Construction

Product Information

The night glow LED function is perfect for night fishing, making it easy to see your rods in low light conditions. The sealed case and rod-friendly rubber inlays ensure that the alarms are protected from the elements. In addition, the Gizmo2® Bite Alarm comes complete with a rechargeable bivvy light that shares many of the receiver features, such as alarm colour sync technology, (when the alarm head signals a bite the bivvy lamp will illuminate to the colour of the active alarm). Supplied with a built in 2000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery and USB-C charging port. Other features include a six level brightness adjustment and six mode time delay. The bivvy light can also be operated independently of the alarms and comes supplied with magnetic or hook bivvy attachment. The value for money offered by the Sonik SKX Bite Alarms & Receiver Set is truly impressive. In my opinion, you’d be hard-pressed to find another alarm system with comparable features at such a competitive price. To turn the alarm on, press and hold the on/off button; LED’s will flash multi-colour. To turn the alarm off, press and hold the on/off button; LED’s will flash once. However, this doesn’t hinder their overall performance too much. It’s important to remember that no bite alarm system is perfect in every way.

After weighing the pros and cons of the Sonik SKX Bite Alarms & Receiver Set, it’s time to determine who would benefit the most from this product. Sensitivity Control– Very important for if it is windy. You don’t want the wind setting off your alarms all the time. Most of these alarms will have some kind of sensitivity settings. This set truly shines when it comes to its usability and performance while still maintaining an affordable price point. With adjustable settings on tone, sensitivity, volume levels, as well as vibration alerts on the receiver itself, it becomes easier than ever for anglers to optimize their bite indication according to personal preferences or changing lake conditions.

I’ve also left them outside overnight during heavy rainstorms without any damage or malfunction occurring. In short, these alarms are built to withstand whatever Mother Nature throws at them. Night Light Feature – An often overlooked feature of these alarms, simply holding the tone button down for 3 seconds, will activate the night light located under the magnetic roller wheel. This is a great feature for lighting up your alarms, so you know exactly where your setup is at all times during the night. A bite alarm is used to detect the movement and vibration of your fishing line in varying ways, depending on the model. Bite alarms can detect line movement through either a magnetic roller wheel or through a piezo vibration sensor.

These features combined make the Sonik SKX Bite Alarms & Receiver Set an excellent value for money. As with all of these alarms, it uses a standard screw attachment, and it comes with a battery included– a long-life LRV08 type for future reference. You also get a nice zip carry bagwith this one, and given the price, we think it is very good value if all you need is a cheap, straightforward choice for budget bite alarms. Buyers Guide The Sonik SKS Bite Alarms Run off a Magnetic Roller Wheel. There are two magnets on the roller wheel, depending on the alarm’s sensitivity settings. Each time the magnet passes the electronic sensor, it notifies the angler via an audible tone and visual LED light.The receiver is also surprisingly impressive offering multiple settings like volume control, tone adjustment, vibration mode for when you need silent alerts while maintaining excellent signal strength between the alarms and receiver itself. This guide delivers a thorough analysis of the set’s performance, durability, and usability, comparing it with other market leaders to aid your decision. The customization options available on both the alarms and receiver add even more value to this set. In my experience using the Sonik SKX set alongside other alarms like the Fox Micron MR+, I’ve found that while there may be some differences in sensitivity levels and battery life, these do not significantly impact the overall performance of the alarms. Battery Life – the bite alarms will be powered by batteries; some are rechargeable, others simply use standard batteries that you will need to replace. However, as the bite alarm is not a powerful device and only occasionally indicates you have a bite, it should have a long battery life. A couple of manufacturers suggest that their batteries may last up to a year; we would treat that with caution. Our advice is to always carry a spare set of batteries with you as you never know when they may run low.
