Gardner atts alarms???

[mrbmatt]

i have used fox warrior buzzers and have now been fishing my syndicate for winter had to replace 2 alarms due to the speaker cracking and the speaker being blocked by rain im getting fed up with them. i have been looking at the gardner buzzers but am unsure because if the reciever and alarm signal is not strong enough to reach to another swim along the bank, i wouldnt know if the rod was going off because the lake has a lot of low swims covered in bushes and are very inclosed..

so if anyone has these buzzers and could tell me on there experiences with them..

thanks a lot

Why would you want them to work in 2 swims ??

Hello there, welcome to the forum.




I purchased a set of 3 atts and the reciever from kent tackle about 6 months ago. I have to say they are bang on. Ive had no problems what so ever. I tested the range and it worked out to be about 150m which is good also they are sealed units. So they are totally water proof and also shock proof. Supposedly they were tested underwater for a week and the still worked.
There is loads of extras for them and you can buy spares over the counter. These alarms would be a sound investment.

thanks alex for that reply i was wondering if you have tried them low down behind a lot of bushes and trees lool sounds weird but was just wondering. thanks

the reason i would be away from my swim is that the swims on my lake are mostly small with a few big ones and there are always a few people on there to have a social and bbq..

thanks

Hi matt,

I hope you know that the atts alarms have no speaker or buttons on them. All is done remotely through the receiver. So you have to buy both. I think the alarms are about £60-70 and the receiver is about £100. The best thing to do is go in to tackle shop and try before you buy. Also there is a 10 minute demonstration on you tube.

cheers alex.

i have already spoke to a few of my mates at the tackle shops and i can get 3 and reciever for around £260 i have done a lot of research on them but am just a bit concerned on the signal strength through thick bushes ect, so am wondering if it would be ok because i wouldnt know if i get a run because no speaker on alarm.

thanks

I use the ATTX on my Fox alarms and they are fine in heavy undergrowth and wooded areas, a set of three dongles and the reciever go for around 199, but you can get them cheaper on places like ebay, the cardner alarms are are also on ebay.

I orderd mine with all white led's and clear rollers they look pretty cool. When you order them ask for the 4 magnet rollers. I orderd the 6 magnet then changed to the 4 because they were not sensitive enough.
