Managed to source a 2nd hand set of excellent condition wolfs as really wanted a set.
However, same as post 10, i ended up being given another receiver by wolf (still had alot of warranty). I had a couple of issues, but the biggest was the syncing of alarm to receiver, would be out for several seconds.
I also felt they were far too complicated for what you needed them for. I Ended up selling them on.

How many of those people who buy the cheaper alarms would just ditch a set and buy a new one though thinking they've had their value for money, wont hear many complaints that way compared to more expensive alarms where folk feel they should last and work.
I'm not disputing for 1 min the big brands pull our pants down btw.
I've 2 sets of original Micron Ms with xb 1 sounder boxes I used to use on spare sets of rods in France a long time ago, what were they £17 a head back then.
They never let me down and if they did I'd just buy another 1, but on my main rods I want more features than what they had.
At the end of the day you could buy those clip on bells and argue the need for any electronics at all, we like what we like.

It’s funny how Pro Logic , Sonik and even Fox can make three rod plus receiver sets for less than £200 that are waterproof and completely reliable. Yet still people still want to spend £600 on alarms that end up going back because they don’t work.

Ditto, and Wolf etc. It's defo on here, it was someone who'd spoken to the chap at fulcrum, not him himself posting.
Edit, It was on the same thread Braders said it might happen iirc but I think I found that one and it's not there.
Ho hum, shame really.
Thanks for taking the time to post JK, much appreciated

I bought a set last year after a lot of back and forth in my head between those and the RX's after having Delks since the conversions.
6 nights into a 3 week session and the first bit of rain, one died, more rain next day and another one played up became overly sensitive after drying out. Tackle Tavern were 100% helpful and exchanged them for a set of RX's when i got back.
The concept is great, but for the money they ask for them, they need to built them properly and get the fundamentals right. You shouldn't have to hope that you get a good set.

That's a shame. I don't remember that.
I've done a search and can't find anything that member Fulcrum said. Then did a search for the word Fulcrum and still couldn't find anything.
Can you remember the circumstances on how it was announced?

Fulcrum is a no-go.
Was on the forum a couple of months back.
Vossy, you’re not going senile

I thought one of the previous threads said Fulcrum was a no go.
I'm very tempted by the Wolf, must admit, not so keen on the sound but you can't have it all!

When I spoke to a shop who had wolf alarms in stock on a very good deal,I was told stick with my rx+.They said I wasn't gaining much for the cost and had a few sets of Wolf with issues.I was then on a PA water and a guy had an alarm just completely die,he wasn't too fussed as had a spare head with him(2 rod rule).I saw him a few weeks later and he'd got rid
