Delkim – the Leading Bite Indicator History
Fishing has been a very popular sport/hobby for a long time now and has been going on for ever and is not by any means looking like it is going to die out. There are anglers all over the world in every country, it is a way of life for a lot of people.
Now if you are fishing say for example carp and would like to use more than one rod to increase your chances then you are going to probably want something that will be able to tell you when one of your rods gets a bite. This is where DELKIM comes into play. They are one of the most well known bite indicator developers and manufacturers that there is.
Created in the late 1970’s by Del Romang and Kim Donaldson, DELKIM was formed, they originally started out so that they could get hold of bait making ingredients and flavourings which they wanted to use. Delkim has in its time discovered a lot of commonly used bait flavourings which are now used worldwide. At the time there was pretty much only one bite alarm that was useable, this was a 1950’s Heron antenna alarm. Now this was cutting edge and top of the range at the time until DELKIM came along and started trying to implement electronic circuits and speakers etc therefore making a much better bite alarm.
Once people started seeing what DELKIM had done they started to ask for their Herons to be upgraded as well to the new one which Del had created. After this they decided to start a service which they called the DELKIM Heron conversion. This was a service where anglers would send in there old Heron antenna alarms and for a small fee DELKIM would convert it into their new upgraded version.
After a few years and in the early 1980’s another bite alarm was released from a different company which called the alarm the “Optonic bite alarm”. This undoubtedly had many issues with it which was not that great for the fishing community. A lot of people started going to Delkim and asking if they could or have found a way around it. Because of this DELKIM set to work and as ever they came up with the goods and started offering another service called the DELKIM Optonic conversion, where once again anglers would send in the bite alarms for conversion to the new cutting edge, top of the line ones that were being converted to.
This new conversion was absolutely brilliant for the fishing industry and also for DELKIM because they built one of the best bite alarms ever which are still being used to this day even though conversions like this are no longer done.
Even though they were offering brilliant conversions to the new best bite alarms on the market, DELKIM had always wanted to create and develop their own bite alarms. One day Del had a dream and the vibration system was thought up, after this Del spent 9 years perfecting the system until he registered a patent for it and released it. This system is heavily used nowadays and seems to always be getting better and better and the years go.
If you was to buy a bite alarm I would definitely advise strongly to get a DELKIM, because so much love and effort goes into their products, you know you are in safe hands.

5th Annual Carp Fishing Holiday 2007 – Manicure Lake – Day 1
It’s the first day of my 5th annual fishing holiday. Normally I would be at the ‘pack’ ‘bivvied up’ but this year it’s to be spent doing day sessions at a ‘dawn till dusk’ day ticket water that has a few fat ones in it. Last year I slayed them but this year I am two months early and for the first time it has been fished all year round. Has it all changed? The Members Log book makes grim reading.

Tackle Test Shimano Vs Big Pit Baitrunner
What a month it has been for the carp anglers of the U.K. and abroad. As is normally the case at this time of year the fish have really started to feed well and some massive fish have been caught.
The British record has been rattled by no less than three different 50lbs plus carp which incredibly came out over the same weekend. Forties are throwing themselves onto the banks at most of the big fish venues around the U.K., and some even bigger fish have been caught from faraway lands. So here is my take on Shimano rods and reels.
Tackle Test Shimano Big Pit Baitrunner
As continental carping gets more popular, and anglers are casting greater distances in the U.K., there has been a demand for bigger and better reels. The two big players in the reel game are of course Daiwa and Shimano. Both companies offer some stunning equipment but for a long time anglers have been requesting a baitrunner version of the larger reels. These have now been developed by Shimano and this has prompted a price war between the two giants. Daiwa haven’t actually got a baitrunner reel out, but they have now cut the price of their main big pit reels and are also offering a free baitrunner conversion. As a result a lot of shops have lowered the price for their Shimano reels to compete with Daiwa. So there has never been as good an occasion as now to get yourself some new reels. Now, whilst I have not got hold of any of the Shimano reels myself, I have had a good look and play with them and they are something special. The main problem is that they seem to be so popular that rocking horse droppings are easier to get hold of. Upon initial investigation they are quite bulky but they have to be, to accommodate the massive gearing and baitrunner system that is housed in the rear body of the reel. They are however as smooth as silk to reel in, and the baitrunner facility itself is faultless and similar to the smaller Shimano Baitrunners, being located at the rear of the reel. Blue in colour, they look the part and at an average price of £115.99 per reel they won’t damage the bank account too much if you want to upgrade.
