Delkim NiteLite Indication Set

Although I do not use these all the time, I have done so on and off since they were first introduced to replace the original versions. In a nutshell, they plug into the alarm and illuminate in the event of a bite. This also means that there is no need for a hockey stick. The magnetic ball-bearing clip makes their use ideal for any diameter of line and additional weights can be added to the base if required. The cord has been improved and it sits as limply as needs be while still protecting the wire inside. My only slight gripe is that it's a little on the long side. I like to have my rods as low to the ground as possible and this can mean that the cord pushes against the ground and wants to lift up. That aside, I can well understand why lots of Delkim alarm users buy and use these. They're extremely versatile, can be bought in colours to match the alarm LEDs (this is where the variation in price comes from) and this new version is definitely built to last. They're not cheap, but there is a lot of design work that goes into these indicators.

For the last 30 years, Delkim fishing bite alarms have been at the forefront of bite alarm techology and now the UK company has launched innovative alarm accessories that should take the company to new heights. But it has taken years of development for the company to achieve cult status in the specimen angling fraternity. It all started back in the late 1870s when carp anglers Del Romang and Kim Donaldson devised their first creation and put their names together to form the Delkim name. Until then, self-powered bite alarms were still pretty much in their infancy. And the electro-mechanical devices that were available, were not well suited to carp fishing with the state-of-the-art Heron antenna alarm that was invented by the late Dick Walker in the early 1850s virtually the only audible alarm available. The unique Delkim electronic bite alarm differed as it was designed specifically for use when targeting carp and provided both audible and visual indication of line movement. Its lack of restrictions on line types and diameters ie braid, which further enhances the sensitivity, makes the Delkim the most versatile electronic bite indicator ever known. Since the early days, the business has been at the top of its game and the quality, reliability, and versatility that you come to expect from Delkim has helped to establish it as the first choice for specialist anglers worldwide. Now the family-run Bedford-based company has introduced even more creative products with its new hangers and accessories. The NiteLite Pro Illuminating Hanger is a bobbin-style device that features a line clip, chain and bite alarm attachment. It plugs into the alarms power output, so that when you get an indication the head lights up from the LED inside. It replicates all the Delkim Plus functions. A magnetic line-holding ball clip is self-tensioning and non-twisting to give a smooth strike release with no snatching or over tightening on any diameter of mono or braid. The new DuoCarb Pivoting Hanger Support System is a must-have item for windy conditions. It has been in development for three years and is a groundbreaking new double-legged cradle support that stabilises any type of hanger in the wind, totally preventing bobbin creep from occurring. It is made entirely from carbon fibre and has a lightweight, rigid tubular device with a trombone design that allows it to be extended from 12cm to 20cm in length. It has a quick-release system and if it is not windy, you can simply unclip it. It comes in all six Delkim colours.
