Choosing the Best Set of Bite Alarms
When choosing the Best Carp Fishing Bite Alarms, there are many features to look for and take into consideration. Finding all the right features at the right price can be tricky. If you’re new to bite indication, check out our Beginners Guide to Carp Fishing Bite Alarms to learn the basics.
If you’re here and know all about bite alarms, you’re probably trying to narrow down your choice. The market has many different alarms at many different price points. I hope the reviews below will help you choose the right set of alarms.
Delkim Bite Alarms
The Delkim TXI Alarms have been around for a long time and are top-of-the-line alarms. They have every feature you would look for in a bite alarm, plus a different type of sensor than other alarms. The Delkim alarms’ motion sensor is more sensitive than alarms with a magnetic roller wheel. The Delkims have greater sensitivity and can detect slight movements that would go otherwise undetected by other alarms.
The main thing that differentiates Delkims from other alarms is their tell-tale warble or double beep when a carp rips off with your bait. Nothing gets an anglers adrenaline pumping more than a screaming Delkim alarm.

Edwards Custom Upgrades

Fox Rx+ Bite Alarms
If you’re a fan of Fox Products, then the best bite alarms for you would be their Top of the Line Fox Rx+ Bite Alarm Set. These alarms come with a hefty price tag, but they have stood the test of time for many anglers and have all the advanced features of any other alarm out there.
One aspect I love about the Fox Rx+ alarms is the range of tones available. Most alarms come with higher-pitched tones, but the Fox Rx+ has a lower setting that just sounds much better, in my opinion.

I haven’t had my hands on the Fox Rx+ Bite Alarms, so I will link a review that Carpology put together for more information.
Many top anglers swear by the Fox Rx+ Alarms, and I can see why with their great looks and features.
Sonik Gizmo2 Bite Alarms
Sonik has come out with many different sets of Bite Alarms over the years, but the Gizmo Alarm is their top-of-the-line choice. The Gizmo2 Set of Alarms is packed with features and is one of the more cost-effective recommendations in our Best Bite Alarm Category.
I would choose the Gizmo2 Alarm set over our other recommendations for one feature that is game-changing. The compatible bivvy light. I love how it is synced with each alarm and turns on automatically as soon as there is any indication.

Nash Siren R4 Alarms
Nash Tackle has many different alarms in its lineup, the top-of-the-line being the Nash Siren R4. This alarm set is packed with advanced features and technology that make them the superior performer in many different conditions.
The main feature that would make me choose the Nash Siren R4 over our other recommended alarms is its advanced sensing technology. They prevent false indications if you’re fishing in wavy conditions from a boat or in the fall when big weed beds are constantly slowly moving your line.
