@@frankenstein3163 it depends what you use it for. I typically use mine on venues where I want to get a lot of bait out onto a certain area as well as be accurate with my rig. If you fish open water areas with little or no snags then its pretty pointless
Great little boats for the price ive had one for a year and a half the only issue i had was the hopper started cracking i used for plastic angle and glued it where the screws mount now it is super strong and a easy fix i would atleast advise people to try and add some washers just to prevent the hopper cracking where the hinge mount nuts are as the nuts they use are very small
Finally got a 24 hour in over at shearwater and had an incredible session 10 carp over 20 pound 1 low double and only two bream which I'm told is really good as I was using solid bags. Would be great to do a session there with you soon if you want to arrange something.
@@karlgale2485 yeah I'm up for that and sounds like a really good session. Did you go to the top end of the lake where it gets shallow or stay closer to the dam wall?
I’ve got these. Can you change the alert style noise on the receiver ? It’s really annoying when you get only one blip on the alarm, especially in the night/ line bite, that the receiver strobes 4 times? I would have preferred the receiver noise to be in-sync with the bite alarm tone I also seem to have to re sync the alarms with the receiver after turning the receiver off/ to vibrate, like it’s not remembering the settings? Apart from that. They seem really good. Landing me a 25lb mirror smashing my PB at a new venue on the 1st morning.
@@ryancurd8539 I've not seen anything about changing the alert style. I had a few sessions with wind and liners and it was getting frustrating so turned the sensitivity right down and it seemed to work. Thankfully they haven't needed to be re-connected at any point and all work straight away so don't know why that might happen. I still use them now and am well happy that they are still going strong. Great to hear you smashed a PB too! I need to get out on some bigger lakes and try to beat mine soon
True I've just been slowing upgrading my tackle and would prefer to hit a few venue's like those first before i go to a place like that. But definitely been interested in tobder manor.
Yeah that's the one I've been wanting to try the runs water there called the sands. I've fished rood ashton a few times just wanting to get amongst some bigger fish so Woodside and shearwater are the beat options I know of. I was supposed to be at shearwater this weekend for a father's day session but unfortunately my friend has let me down 🙄
Your not guaranteed to get amongst the bigger ones at Shearwater. The shallows produce when its warmer but not guaranteed to be bigger. If you want bigger you need to hit todber or coking farm. Viaduct is alright for a decent bend on the rod for a day session and only an hour away

@budgetfishing3611 well hopefully see out on the bank some time. Trying to find a local fishing buddy lol enjoy going on my own but always more fun with company lol
@@karlgale2485 don't hesitate to drop me a message on here and I'm sure something can be worked out. Always nice to have someone to chat with when your out. The local angling clubs have some good waters in the area. I'm planning on doing the lake by the train station in Westbury next time. That's part of the warminster group but you can do exchange tickets from Frome for £2
@budgetfishing3611 yeah that would be cool. I have been told about the local clubs and how you can do the ticket exchange and sounds like a really good deal.
Good stuff. I've been looking have a go down there recently. Have you ever fished shearwater or Woodside? I'm from melksham myself so not far from you and trying to check out all the local venues.
I've done Shearwater a number of times and there is a review on the channel of it somewhere. I think I've done Woodside once. Is that the one near pewsey? If it is then I've not done the specimen lake. There is also rood Ashton near Trowbridge and Rushey Lane near Bradford on Avon but I haven't done that one recently
With these ones you turn the light on using the switch on the back and then turn it off using the small button on the outer shell. That way it should be set to activate with your alarms and not stay on all the time
@@budgetfishing3611 thanks for the reply mate, these have a different combination, only two buttons, one is for on/off the other for brightness and both for syncing - I managed to set it up properly once by trial and error last year but have forgotten what I did, I’ll mess about with it tonight once I’m back home, cheers anyway 👍
@@creatureswithcalvin3084 I leave the alarm and receiver on number 1 each as it's enough during the day and early evening. At night the alarms go to 0 and the receiver to number 2 or 3 and it works for me
@@creatureswithcalvin3084 yeah they still work and still go out on every trip I do. Not done a night session for a while but will hopefully get that done later this year
This video was done a couple of years ago now. Is that more or less than they used to be? I'm surprised to see so many people still seeing it and commenting
@@budgetfishing3611 You’re right I apologize! People have posted videos this year on these alarms, I didn’t notice his was from 3 years ago. But yea seems like these are still really popular.
I have this set of alarms for a while now bought them based off watching this video and have used them on many sessions and still going strong but I find that the receiver goes through batterys really quick, I would have to replace battery in receiver probably twice on a 48hr session, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem as they are a great set of alarms and I dont really want to buy a new set, but buying 2 or 3 9v batterys every time i want to go fishing is starting to add up to the price of a new set of alarms, thanks in advance for any info
I'm glad you agree with my review about the alarms. It's strange that they are going through batteries so quick though. Mine goes for quite a few sessions without needing batteries. Are you adjusting on a regular basis during your sessions or have them on night mode at all? If not I have no clue as to what could be causing the issue
It’s a strange one alright, no I don’t do much adjusting on them just lower the tone down at night before going to sleep would be it really, I seen another comment about having it on sensitivity 5 turns them into range mode and there is a way to get it out of range mode which another user explained how to do going to give that a try when I’m out on the bank in 2 weeks and will report back if it works incase anyone else comes across the problem themselves and needs an answer, thanks very much for the reply appreciate the help!
Great alarms though I’ve had them out in some seriously bad weather the last while and haven’t missed a beat can’t fault them apart from my receiver going through batterys quick
Tbh the rods and reels do the job, provided you know how to play carp to the net, def change the line, that's a must. Spend good money on good line and end tackle, after all the fish can't see what rod you're using but they can see your bait!
i've been using ccmoore on and off for probably 14 years. 1st used them at tober manor just before little hayes was dug. i love the meteor range than done, i would glug some boilies for weeks in the meteor dip and fish it over a bed of the meteor pellet they also done, a great bait but for some reason they stopped producing them, the live system is also awesome.
Been using one for the last three years without sonar , taken to France three times been faultless good battery life good in rough water for the peanuts it cost a real bargain would get another in a heartbeat
I am watch your video at the moment and 2 years from your post . Like you my son and I are on a shoe string and have started out with the ngt product and like you say great stuff . However we are going to upgrade now from the very budget alarms and go for the new style dynamics . One question , are you still using them to date and have been durable enough to last a long time
I am still using them on every session and apart from changing batteries they have been fine. They have been out in all conditions too which has surprised me.
I haven't been float fishing for years.nice looking lakes to while away a few hours. I'm stuck in the carp fishing & then pike seasons. I was hoping to have a go at chub & barbel this summer for something different but never got round to it. Good luck with the job hunting.
I got one of these 5yrs ago and only this yr one of the motor’s decided too fail, not bothered as it only cost me £69, but I developed it more by putting a hinged lid on the hopper, so as not to throw the bait off but to pull the lead system off the lid especially with pva bags…ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2aPjZL1WBv0.htmlsi=dwca6dg6Kd1qfI1o
They were advertised as alarms with a bivvy light. I got them to pair up by following the instructions and it's pretty easy if you follow them. Hope that helps
I have been trying to catch a run for ages but it's a pain to get. And the fight would have been nice too but sadly I didn't have time to set everything up.
The place is very clean and arguably one of the the best fisheries in the UK. There is a large tackle shop on site, toilet block, several lakes etc. Think it's 30 for 24 hours and then however the computer works out for the rest
A lot of the big places are now £30 for 24 hours. I think sadly we come to accept it. At least a couple of the places I go to put money back into the fishery unlike some others I can think of
Congrats on the catfish, must have been a pain landing that lump at night! Good to see the NGT alarms still going strong. I've got a bag full of stuff that doesn't get used but I always take it just incase 🤔 I can smell that bacon.
Thank you. It wasn't the easiest thing to try and do on my own in the dark. That bacon was well needed at the time and since getting home I've opened the bag and can't work out what to take out 🙄
Hi there, great review! Two years after, would you still recommend them? I am affraid of the handles problem, since that could really impact the stability
It's not too bad. I typically don't have far to go on the lakes I fish so it's more of a convenience thing for me but providing you don't load it too high then you would be fine
Nice review. These are under a hundred quid on Amazon UK and great value. Have been wary of NGT, but would consider these ‘cos I’m looking for a set with a receiver to replace my Fox Microns (which are themselves very cheap, but don’t have receiver (or the capability))
Fiberglass rods for carp?!?! Based on the reviews on Amazon UK, with reports of breakages and poor quality of all items, I wouldn’t touch this garbage. Fully endorse buying budget gear (too much over-priced and unnecessary stuff in the carp world), but it has to be fit for purpose (not just down to a price).
I've still got them and they come out every now and then despite having upgraded. They have played and landed fish to mid/upper 20's and only time I've had concern was when playing a big cat which eventually snapped me off but the rods didn't falter. A lot of people will buy them as start up kit and not look after them which is most likely to lead to breakages rather than the product failing
Hi, does it matter what reels go on those rods? I have ordered them in 2.75, 12ft - but I can’t decide which reels to get. I’m currently looking at Vader X Pro 10000, but are they too big?
I'm sure you can put whatever reels you want on them. I only got the 8000 as they were a good deal and I couldn't really work out the difference for the price
