Sonik Sports has earned a powerful reputation for delivering high quality carp gear at affordable prices – and its latest offering shows all the indications of following that trend. The VADER X bite alarm packs a punch at the company’s lowest price.

The new VADERX bite alarm from Sonik Sports boasts an array of features that belies its price tag. It is the company’s cheapest bite alarm, but has one of the best specs on the market, according to Sonik’s Product Manager, James Temple, including its V-LED ray on the front which indicates directional line movement more clearly than ever before.

There are also two extra high visibility LEDs and an illuminated roller wheel with night glow function. The volume, tone and sensitivity settings can all be easily adjusted. The modern casing design has a sleek, rubberised and weatherproof finish with a reinforced bolt head for ultimate stability. Included are screw-in snag ears and there is also a 2.5mm power out socket. The alarm has a handy range of up to 150m and what is described as an ‘exceptional’ battery life powered by a 1 x 9V unit. The VADERX Receiver comes in a compact and light case that is perfectly pocketable and has the same high quality rubberised finish as the alarms. It has up to six channels with both volume and vibration mode options.
