Ah, the British weather, unpredictable as ever and as much a part of the fishing experience as anything else.  Especially when you’re just settling in for a good session by the water’s edge, rods out, and ready for action and the heavens open. Now, picture this: you’ve just upgraded to the latest Delkim Txi-D’s, the pride of your tackle box, but then, as the rain hits, so do the false alarms.

Sounds like a nightmare, right? But hold your horses because I’m here to shed some light on this rainy-day nonsense.

First off, you can use your Txi-Ds straight out of the box and find they’re set up ready to go for most conditions, no tweaks, no updates just a rock-solid bite alarm.  But if you are getting false beeps, then it’s easy to tailor your bite indicator to suit almost any weather, minimise false alarms, maximise catches and put more fish on the bank. And that’s what we’re all here for.

That said, let’s tackle the elephant in the room – the idea that Delkims and rain go together like chalk and cheese. It’s a myth, nonsense, poppycock to be frank.  Talked up by anglers who are going to stick to their roller style bite alarms no matter what. Seeing as we have been making bite alarms since 1992, think this proves how well they work in all weathers. We only make bite alarms so if they didn’t work we wouldn’t be here and you wouldn’t be reading this!

Weather Resistant Bite Alarms

We’ve all heard the rumours, annoying comments around false alarms during an unexpected downpour but Txi-D’s are not just designed to be weather-resistant, they’re perfect companions no matter the weather. The default settings help you get going quickly and the customisation helps you get to know your gear and understand what each setting does to make your experience better. Because, with a little knowledge, a few YouTube tutorials, and a couple of tweaks, you can get your Delkims can screaming in the rain for all the right reasons.

As standard, the Delkim Txi-Ds are fantastic bits of kit, packed with features designed to tackle almost every scenario. Rain, snow, freezing temperatures, sunny days and hazy afternoons. But you can do so much more, we’re talking sensitivity adjustments, beep speed control, and the awesome ‘Do Not Disturb‘ function. They all help you set your alarms up for a perfect session no matter the weather.

Vibration Sensing Power

If you’re missing out on the power of a vibration sensor but want to get involved then try the Txi-Ds straight out of the box, you’ll find they work brilliantly almost everywhere or dig a little deeper and dial in your alarms to fit how you want to fish.  Head over to our YouTube channel, download our app, or jump on our Facebook forum for ‘how to’ videos, content, and help.

Not using the settings is like owning an iPhone an only using it to make calls and send texts.  You’re missing out on so much more that it can do for you.  If you start to tweak the settings, play around with the sensitivity, adjust the LED brightness for day and night, you can find that sweet spot where the Delkims are alert to the fish, not the weather.

No matter what, with a Delkim, you know you’ll be getting more information than from any other bite alarm you’ve ever spent money on. Guaranteed.
