Nash R4 Alarms Vs Delkim TXI D Alarms | Carp Fishing 

Hi Richard! Thanks for watching pal much appreciated. I’ve done quite a few reviews like this on all sorts and I’m doing the as weekly as I can, check them out 👌🏻

I was going to go for R3s when my TXIs started playing up as I’ve always used RS1s aswell. It was the non standard battery that put me off atleast they’ve sorted that with the R4s. New Delks are much more reliable than the old I’ve found

Hiya pal, not in the same way the Delkim has, if you pick the delkims up while they are turned on they go into alarm mode

@CaravanCarpers ah I didn't know that! So they do both have an anti theft but one is certainly a better design than the other 😉👍

Yes mate 👌🏼

Ive never seen them on the bank but sounds like they are decent pal! 💪🏻

Yes I have a set as back up alarms I do find they are not load enough

I had the old RS1s for years and loved them, I still have both the R4 and the Txi’Ds I always seem to take the delks personally I just prefer them. The drop back feature I do miss time to time but that’s about it. They are great alarms though. The illuminated bobbins for the Nash are terrible though

Thanks for watching aswell pal 👌🏻

Cheers pal much appreciated loads of interest in that so it’s defo on the cards I’ll look to get it sorted soonest

Yea i think its a good idea to have a light operated by your alarms! Would love delkim to do one 👌🏻 thanks for watching pal pl

I also got the gizmos but I find in day light you can't see the snag ears light up because the brightness so not looking forward to the summer time with them

Ive never used the Sonik alarms or seen them on the bank to be fair. You can still see the delk and r4 lights in the day 👌🏻

Happy days pal! I’ve never had the wheels freeze on my old RS1s but I’ve herd of story’s of it happening 👌🏻

Cheers Dan thanks for watching it’s my next filming project when I get a day off! It’s not fully scientific but it will be good to test each thing. I think it will be interesting

@@CaravanCarpers deffinetly! It's something different to what's out there aswell 👍

@@DanLaw2911 that’s what I’m trying to do pal. Fingers crossed it’s gives some good info!

Cheers Chris thanks for watching 👌🏻

Yea sorry it didn’t come across right the Delkim have an anti theft for picking the pod up, they both have turn the alarms off feature. Thanks for watching pal

@@CaravanCarpers no problem mate. Keep up the great work 👍

@brigallon7453 thank you! I’ve got plans to film loads just getting some time atm

I flit between the two at the min having both! Im still not 100 percent sure im most happy with but they are both cracking alarms all the same

Cheers Matt thank you for taking the time to watch pal 👌🏻

No problem gary thanks for watching pal

Yea me too to be honest

Hi Ross! Thanks for watching pal much appreciated! I’ve just subbed back to your channel too I’ll check out some videos 👌🏻

@@CaravanCarpers ah legend thanks bud. Love the set up of your videos. Really enjoying them

@@Operationcarp cheers pal much appreciated! More than happy to help with anything vlogging/video wise add me on insta or Facebook pal if I can help I will bud 👌🏻

Hi Joss! No thats 100 percent correct and something i prefer the R4s for. Thanks for watching!

Hi Jason, ive had it a few times if its a slow drop back its not registered. Come out in the morning and the bobbins on the floor, i set the beep speed on max and the sensitivity in the middle setting any higher and its a pain in the rain

@@CaravanCarpers actually I do remember using some braid (remain unnamed and got rid of pronto) that lifted off the lake bed over night. This caused the bobbins (slimlites) to slowly drop to the deck over a few hours but not register. However, I don’t think any alarm would have picked that up?

Thank you

Cheers pal thanks for watching! Anything you need to know drop us a comment and ill try me best to help

Cheers Aaron pal thanks for watching 👌🏻

Cheers pal! Don’t get me wrong you do get more features and better quality but at the end of the day they do the same thing in a round about way! Thank you for watching!

Cheers lads!

Hi Jim! Thanks for watching pal! Keep them till they die as I say alarms are alarms!

Hi Dave! Thanks for watching pal. I was using delkim indicators with the heaviest weights on and tight lines I might invest in the heavier ones then see how I get on. Cheers pal.

Cheers Dave! Just figuring the lighting levels out but I’ll fine tune it to look mega!

Hi pal, yea but it’s not the same as the Delkim. It basically works when you turn the alarms off but the Delkim one works like that and also if you move the pod/pick the alarms up while on it goes off

Yes mate so you turn them off and they alarm the same but the delks have a more advanced one if you turn them off or move the alarms it’s goes. People where cutting lines and taking pods so it stops that

Hi Ray! Thanks for watching. One of the up coming videos will be a comparison of how much difference rod size, line diameter and reel size makes. Shimano tx2 are viewed as a great rod. Luke uses Shimano tx5s and loves them. I’ve had a few sets of 10ft rods but mainly retractable ones. The only ones I have not retractable are 10ft infinity’s.

Cheers Jake pal! I’ll start work on it on my next day off pal! Bivvy wise that’s something I can do 👌🏻

Thank you Ian! Much appreciated

Thank you much appreciated

What do you think of the Mini Microns, rumor was they was a massive flop on sales i dont know why as they seem cracking value 👌🏻

@@CaravanCarpers for what you pay their spot on mate change colour, brightness, sensitivity and change of tone when you get a drop back.. the tone sounds are iffy in some peoples opinions i seen a few say but for me personally that stuff makes no difference for me.

Happy days, im not arsed about all that jazz like you say with the tones, but they seem to have all the essential features they need. My RS1s at the caravan are on the blink they could be a viable option 👌🏻

Hi Dan, yes mate the R4 does but the Delkim has a true one ie if you move the alarms it does off too not just turn them off 👌🏻thanks for watching pal

@@CaravanCarpers watched a lot of your content mate learnt a thing or two keep it up top quality content mate

Cheers mate much appreciated! Fingers crossed get a lot more out this year 👌🏻

Thank you much appreciated

I need to specify it a bit more the delkims have a motion sensor where as the Nash only go off if you turn them off so you could pick the pod up by cutting the lines. It would only go off when out of range where as the delkims have motion sensing and an alarm if you turn it off.

@@CaravanCarpers aww I see well in mate never knew that , good little feature on the delks then 💪💪💪

Cheers mate!

Hi mate thanks for watching. I can’t wait to get back on the tackle Tuesdays it’s just been a really big year

Hi Adrian pal, yea you can I thought I mentioned that but apologies if I didn’t. It’s not the same it’s if you turn it off on the R4s, the Delkim one is one that operates if you move the pod

Hi mate ,was mainly the fact of being able to change the r4s colours to suit ,pity delkim didn't do the same mate. But I do like that idea with the delkim if you move them Great reviews m8.

Thank you pal! Have you seen the new delkims they have added the changing LEDs now

@CaravanCarpers About time mate,should of thought about it years ago instead of having to purchase individually for certain colours mate.

@@adrianaustin1341 yea mate totally agree

If I can get hold of a set I will

Absolute result that mate well in 💪🏻 thank you for watching

Cheers for the reply Paul! What makes you choose the delks out of interest?

Hi I still use both one set as my set at the caravan and my delks for my normal fishing if I had to sell one it would be the Nash to sell, nothing much in it between the two I just always seem to go back to the delks

Cheers Alec much appreciated

Never herd of that pal?

Cheers pal! There’s plenty of amazing alarms at any budget isn’t there! What do you think of your ND ones then? I like the bivvy light they have. Delkim or Nash don’t do that do they

@@CaravanCarpers I've had no issues what so ever with my ND alarms, 2 years and still going strong. Love the fact I don't need to carry spare batteries with me, and the battery life is amazing when charged.

I think eventually all alarms will go usb charging it’s the way forwards!

Thanks for watching pal 👌

Get them tried they are good! Thanks for watching

Hiya Jack! Thanks for watching. I have all blue, the reason is there was a deal for money off on eBay when I bought them and they only colour they had on stock was blue 😂😂😂😂

Hi Zoltan! Thanks for watching mate! I love the RS-1s they are the alarms I use at my caravan. Really really old but still going strong. Obviously don’t have all the features the R4s have bud would be happy for them to replace what I have now I use in my normal fishing

@@CaravanCarpers Cheers mate! Those were my first decent alarms. Than i sold them but regreted. So i just bought another set secondhand, wich i am happily using still. Not much video on youtube about those alarms, so i tought it would be fantastic to see a honest review on them from a reputable youtuber as you are. They are still fantastic alarms in my opinion, and holding their price well on the secondhand market.

Got to be 10 years old and the only thing wrong with them is the power button on the receiver the see through plastic has perished. I’ve got a set of the old delks too. I’ll have to do is new better or are old at the right price the way to go 👌🏻

@@CaravanCarpers Sounds great. Thank you 🤘

No probs tight lines 👌🏻

Hi Dave! Thanks for watching pal! I’ve asked a friend who I know has them could I borrow them to do a comparison video but he’s sold them and bought R4s 😩. He said they where fine he’s just wanted the Nash! I’m contemplating getting the ND bait boat for the caravan to be fair so could review that if I do. Only other thing I have to hand I could look at are the but grips Luke had them but he changed to the Jag like mine. 👌🏻

@@CaravanCarpers the s9s ade an amazing bit of kit the nd bait for the price is great my friend has one and its easy to set up simple to use and again the technology in it is second to none i get nash and fox have been out for years and dont get me wrong they are great but very expensive personally its nice to have a fresh person reviewing and being unbiased to if i could lend you my bite alarms i would lol iv got the new direction magnetic butt rest and the spring loaded bobbins and i cant fault them

Bait boat i mean

@@davejohnson6202 yea my friend was selling one I should have bought it at the time. I have an RT4 but want something to keep at the caravan as space in the cars non existent with a baby 😂😂😂

On which alarms mate?

@@CaravanCarpers R3 mate I used to bailiff at nash lakes Royston so had a trade account and used most of Nash’s gear had to replace snag ears twice

@@stevenfuller2506 ah right, I’ve not got R3s I’ve had 2 sets of RS1’s and a set of R4s. I didn’t go with the R3s because of the battery

Hi Ryan, no pal never seen the prologic alarms to honest. Have you got a set if so what do you think? I think prologic have come a long way in recent years

Hi Andrew, not as in when you turn the alarms off I mean the movement sensing like the Delkims. If they have that I’ll re edit pal but couldn’t find it I’m just getting the instructions out

@@CaravanCarpers yes your right the anti theft feature does only activate if the alarm is switched off but it maybe worth mentioning it. 👍

@@andrewwilson5566 I’ll see what I can do to add it in pal thanks for the input though much appreciated. 1 further feature I forgot to mention which is an advantage of the Nash is the colour changing led!

@@CaravanCarpers no problem and it’s good to watch these reviews especially when your undecided on what to purchase as it does really help 👍

@@andrewwilson5566 thank you pal much appreciated!

Hello Pavel it’s a JAG one mate

Hi ive never used the R3s, i did used to have the Nash RS1s and when i looked to upgrade thes i didnt look at the R3s because of the non standard battery. The delkim are ok but i found mine to be a pain in the rain, the TXI’ds are better but not perfect!

Hi Jim! Hopfully getting it filmed in the next 2 weeks pal 👌🏻

The pod they are on is the Jag Mini pod theres a video about it on my channel check it out 👌🏻

Hi Geoff, yes the standard turn the alarm off one but the delkim has a better version where if you move them it goes off. That what I was talking about sorry I should have made it more clear

Personally I can’t Chuck a pva bag that sort of range with a 3 or 3.25tc rod maybe a 13ft but 0.35 would be a ball ach. For that sort of work I’d be using the 13 3.75 rods to make it easier on myself. Spodding 100+ in the wind I use a 13ft spod rod also.

100 is doable but upto 130 a no go for me. I’m going for some casting lessons this year so I’ll let you know how I get on

Thank you Lee, hope casting lesson gets you good more yards. Really like video on bite alarms, was very helpful thanks

It depends on which battery you have, using autopilot to around 80-100 yards ive managed 3-4 days max out of the 24ah bayyery

@@CaravanCarpers hey, thanks for the answer. Are you talking about the bait boat? I mean the heads of the Siren R4 :)

Hi sorry ive just realised! To be honest they haven’t ran out yet since getting them so a fair while!

@@CaravanCarpers no problem, thank you very much for your help and the good review. Liebe Grüße aus Trittau

No probs

Cheers Stephen 👌🏻 I don’t take the batteries out but if it’s for a while I’d hazard a guess it would pal.

@@CaravanCarpers Thank you

@@stephenbuckham9964 no problem pal anytime

No it doesn’t when you set them they stay set until you adjust them I take my batteries out if I’m not using them for a while

@@leemadden3able Thank you

Yes defiantly! Ive never had to change the power level on the Txi D. I need to get my old Txi’Plus sold to be fair

@@CaravanCarpers I sold Txi Plus because of the poor range. Sometimes even 20m was too far away for the receiver to get a signal. I do not know how they became so popular with such a shitty range.

Did you ever get round to trying the txi ds

@@CaravanCarpers I am getting TxiD v2 soon.

I’m going to drop them a message see if they are interested in a comparison review

No problem

Hi Ryan, they do in regards of turning them off but what im talking about is the delkims set the alarm off if you just move the alarms so its better. Thanks for watching 👌🏻

It does in regards to turning them off but the delkim on also works with just picking them up much more secure

Hi Peter, yes it does as in a power the alarms down version but what I ment is the Delkims have this and a further accelerometer version that goes off if you pick the alarms up without turning them off

Hi Gavin! Cheers for your reply. They are quite a bit bigger to be fair but then again the fox alarms are miles bigger than them. The reason I didn’t buy the R3s and went for the delks first is the non standard battery. I’m not too fussed what they look like not really something I care about but it defo matters to some people. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the top end alarms they all do a decent job

@@CaravanCarpers no sorry mate I meant the R4's miles Bigger than the R3's, delkim made a already top quality alarm better but also smaller thought Nash would of done the same thing looked at them in my local tackle shop no doubt the going to be class but they just looked like big cheap plastic copies , great review tho 👏👏

Yea they are big pal! I wonder if going to standard batteries has made them bigger? Thanks pal much appreciated

@@CaravanCarpers Loving the comparison vids... great work!! I've heard a few people mention the non-standard batteries being off putting for them when considering the R3s. Interestingly though, I've used R3s for the past 5 or so years and only had to change the batteries once so it's not something I think people need to worry about. I also carry spares and the batteries are tiny so it's no inconvenience.

I would have gone for r3s when I bough the delks but didn’t because of the battery’s! R4s are normal batteries which is a massive improvement

What do you use then pal?

Hi Mark apologies if me saying that has offended you but at the same time i do have mild to sometimes excessive ocd tendencies with regards to organisational/symmetrical aspect things if you knew me personally you would know this. I also have a family member who has medically diagnosed OCD with regards to Hygiene and cleaning so i know exactly what it can be like and its effects pal but at the same time apologies if its something that affects you no offence ment 👌🏻

Maybe you can give me more advice about that ? Is the fals beebs only with extreme heavy rain and wind or with slightly rain and wind ?

Hi sorry for the late reply ive been a little hectic. You can lock DND on for indefinite by holding it down till it beep rather than just pressing it once. You do get wind and rain beeps in extreme weather but these are much better than the older ones for it.

Oke sow is I get it you just can set the dnd voor longer time en set it of by your self ?

Yes mate

Great I just bought them !

Thank you what do you like about them that I should keep doing 👌🏻

👌🏻

Which ones?

So whats a pretty alarm lol

😂😂😂
