It's my brand of choice atm great for a starter kit but with all the features of the more expensive ones... great review I'll be getting the head torch and wrist band to go with mine for sure
Great review Mr Baker and what a great bit of kit.. Know what I'll be looking at when it's upgrade time.. Tight lines and wet nets from all of us at the Carp Crew Screamers.. 👍👍🎣🎣
Love the Blair witch 🧙♀️ review right at the end lol, another good product review very impressed with them. such an epic bite alarm set up for the price
Great vid again. I've just got these today with no instructions so I was wondering if you could help me out. How do you set up the drop back indication and what is the C for on the receiver display of the alarm settings? Just these two things are driving me mental.
I might be able to do you one better!! Check the link, it should take you to a link for the full instructions!! www.newdirectiontackle.co.uk/usermamul/s9.pdf
Great review, I’m thinking of getting myself a set, how long is the battery life on the alarms as it’s a great idea to never buy batteries again but does the charge last long?
Well I've done multiple 4 day sessions plenty of weekend sessions in recent months and I've not had to charge them yet!! So an exact time I couldn't tell you, but they last plenty of time!!
You ommitted to add the smartband can also be used for turning on and off the bivvy light remotely. On a run the light only stays on for about 20 seconds one press of the button on the smart band turns it on until you press it again to switch it off very useful.
You're not wrong!! I'm aware of this now days! But at the time it slipped past me lol. Didn't know about it at the time. But yeah, it's a very very handy feature!!
@@WetLines I recently bought a set of four of the nd1 alarms. They work on the same receiver as the S9 so have all the features and I also bought the bivvy light and smart band. I have used them for about 2 months now and generally they are fine. The only issue being that two of them do not hold a charge properly. One will actually discharge completely when switched off if left for 4 days which is a bit disappointing. The other dodgy one will last quite a little bit longer but will still not take a full charge or it will but will discharge faster than the two that are ok if you see what I mean? To be fair with new Direction they asked me to return them and they would send me another set but I've pimped them with my own logos etc so I won't do that. I researched on the net a little bit and apparently with the l i o n battery if you let it discharge completely and freeze it for 24-hours and let it thaw out over a couple of hours and then recharge this sometimes brings the l i o n back to full capacity, so I am going to try that first. Of course the whole alarm will have to go in the freezer because they are a sealed unit and there is no way you can get inside them to remove the battery. Apart from that they are great alarms very compact and I did a range test the other day and managed approximately 300 yards with these mini alarms.
@@rhysdowson8029 oh right, well so far I've had no issues with any battery issues. But lemme know if that lil trick works on them! Good to know if I do ever have this issue. 👍
Fantastic review , i have the K9's and they are a great bit of kit just wish they would sort the app out for the receiver as it just does not work on new android devices i contacted New Direction and been told the same thing for the last 6 months they are working on it but besides that ND alarms and accessories are the mutts nutts great bits of kit .
Cheers Liam! Appreciate that. I love them, I came from a set of delkims, which I'm sure for some people are far superior. But for me, the features these have and the accessories to link make them a brilliant choice. Sure there's the odd niggly thing with apps and such, but they're the ones for me!!
So do you have to pair these up every session or is there memory? I love this stuff, thinking about buying this kit but not sure I’ll use it much if I have to sit there pairing stuff for 30 mins each session?
@@WetLines oh lovely, just come back to carping, and thought I’d have to bite the bullet and shell out for the usual delikims fox ect, but discovered this firm and love it. Love my gadgets and a self confessed tackle tart so this gears for me👍
Nope, no issues. I'll be honest, I have recently upgraded to fox alarms, just coz. But the alarms didn't let me down. The light did after a year or so stop functioning as it should, I think I got it wetter than it should have been possibly. The wrist strap thing I stopped using, wasn't really a sufficient enough vibration for me personally. Head torch was fine, no issues with that. So overall, bite alarms and receiver absolutely spot on great value and zero issues.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback and honestly, since using them there's nothing I don't like about them that I've discovered yet. They are awesome, easily rechargeable when needed, battery lasts plenty of time. Bivvy light the same, I suppose my one only thing is the wrist strap device could do with vibrating stronger. Other than that, it's all tremendous.
@@chrisc475 well I'm glad to have helped you come to a decision! Enjoy them mate. The links for the products are the the description if you need any assistance finding them! 🤷🏻♂️. Enjoy
Apps are shite ,stop working after a few months and nd support is a joke ,I seen reviews before I bought the light but ignored them ,now I'm the one leaving bad reviews, smart watch is a waste of money too ,more vibration in a dying fly tbh
Yes love it. With that price plus the accessories it’s hard to justify the delkim line
I honestly have zero faults with it.. I have delkims and these are defo replacing them.
I need the light to stop me from diving out of my bivvy at night and straight into the lake 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly the reason I got it!!!😂😂
It's my brand of choice atm great for a starter kit but with all the features of the more expensive ones... great review I'll be getting the head torch and wrist band to go with mine for sure
It's a winner mate!! Got it all setup this last week.. it's ideal on so many levels.
Great review Mr Baker and what a great bit of kit.. Know what I'll be looking at when it's upgrade time.. Tight lines and wet nets from all of us at the Carp Crew Screamers.. 👍👍🎣🎣
Thanks 👍
Best bite Alarms i ever Had
They're spot on ain't they!! I've had zero issues with mine. Superb bit of kit!!👌
Great review thanks
No problem!!
Nice ill buy tnhat set
Great choice! You won't regret buying that set. It's definitely a game-changer.
Love the Blair witch 🧙♀️ review right at the end lol, another good product review very impressed with them. such an epic bite alarm set up for the price
I honestly see zero reason everyone wouldn't get this, especially if just starting up in fishing. It does everything you'd want and some.

@@WetLines thanks for that. Greatly appreciated.
@@markwheatley5264 no worries!! I didn't get them either, so dunno if that's standard or not.
hello I have a question ... I recently bought 2 such alarms, I wanted to ask if you pull the line quickly, do you also hear the roller moving loudly?
I do yes.
Great review, I’m thinking of getting myself a set, how long is the battery life on the alarms as it’s a great idea to never buy batteries again but does the charge last long?
Well I've done multiple 4 day sessions plenty of weekend sessions in recent months and I've not had to charge them yet!! So an exact time I couldn't tell you, but they last plenty of time!!
@@WetLines oh wow, I tend to only do weekends so that’s all I’ll need out of them, cheers for the response 👍
Are you still using these with any issues? seen a few reports of them being troublesome in heavy rain.
Oh yes! Never had any problems and I've been out multiple times in very heavy rain. Zero issues.
Another top video baker with some bargin gadgets
Awesome products!! Highly recommended!

Soo after 3 years, any trouble? Had my prologic reciever antenna break down almost exactly after the end of the warranty:/

you got to pay for the app ?
Nope. The app is free to use. Works brilliantly.
