Product Information

Full details

The Sonik SKS2 bite alarm is designed for the dedicated carp and specimen angler who requires reliable, high-visibility signaling in diverse weather conditions. Its primary benefit lies in the dual-color LED system which clearly distinguishes between forward runs and drop-back indications, allowing for precise strike timing. The main caveat for users is that the required two AAA batteries are not included in the package, necessitating a separate purchase before initial setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, unscrew the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit and insert two high-quality AAA batteries. Once powered, mount the alarm onto your bankstick or buzzer bar using the standard thread. If you are fishing near snags or expect aggressive takes, screw the provided snag ears into the designated points on the alarm head.

To maintain the device, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after use to remove mud or debris, ensuring the sealed case remains intact. Do not submerge the unit in water or use harsh chemical solvents. When storing the alarm for long periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. The 2.5mm socket is compatible with most standard illuminated bite indicators, providing seamless power integration for your terminal tackle.
