Sonik Gizmo2 Alarm Sets

Sonik Gizmo2 Alarm Sets: Intelligence and Visibility Redefined

At Gerry’s Fishing, we find the Sonik Gizmo2 to be a massive leap forward from the original, already legendary Gizmo. This alarm set is designed for the modern carp angler who demands high-end technical features like drop-back indication and intelligent mute modes without the premium price tag of other flagship systems. The Gizmo2 is instantly recognizable by its illuminated snag ears, which now feature a frosted finish for a subtle, high-end glow that won’t distract you but provides perfect rod security.

The most impressive upgrade is the Hi-visibility multi-colour LEDs. You no longer have to choose a specific color set; you can cycle through various colors to match your preference or differentiate your rods. With a massive 200m range and a dedicated night glow function, the Gizmo2 ensures you are fully informed of every movement in your swim, day or night.

Technical Specifications

The Gizmo2 is a feature-packed system built for precision and ease of use:

Key Performance Features

• Forward & Backward Indication: The Gizmo2 distinguishes between a “flyer” and a “drop-back.” Different visual and audible alerts tell you instantly if a fish is moving away or toward you, which is vital for adjusting your response.

• Intelligent Mute Mode: A game-changer for stealthy setups. You can mute the alarm for a set period while you tension your bobbins or adjust your lines; the alarm will then automatically re-arm itself, ensuring you never forget to turn it back on.

• Frosted Illuminated Snag Ears: These provide more than just rod safety. The frosted finish diffuses the LED light, giving you a clear visual reference of which rod is “going” without being overly bright in the dead of night.

• Dial VTS Settings: No more scrolling through complicated digital menus. The Gizmo2 uses classic, tactile dials for Volume, Tone, and Sensitivity, allowing for near-instant adjustments even with cold or wet hands.

• Multi-Colour LEDs: You can change the LED colors at the touch of a button. This allows you to sync your alarms to your bobbins or simply change the look of your setup whenever you choose.

• LED Brightness Tuning: Whether you are fishing in bright direct sunlight or total darkness, you can adjust the intensity of the LEDs to suit the conditions and save battery life.

Why the Sonik Gizmo2 Stands Out

• Total Reliability: The 200m range is incredibly stable, providing a rock-solid connection between the alarms and the receiver even in thick bankside vegetation.

• Compact Design: The Gizmo2 maintains a small, sleek profile that doesn’t clutter your buzzer bars but still feels robust and “specimen grade.”

• Night Glow: The subtle night glow feature ensures you can find your rods instantly in total darkness without needing a headlamp, which helps maintain your stealth on the bank.

• Value for Money: It offers features like multi-colour LEDs and intelligent muting that are usually found on alarm sets costing twice as much.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The 2.5mm Power Out Socket is a vital addition. If you use illuminated bobbins or swingers, the Gizmo2 will power them directly from the alarm’s battery, syncing the light-up sequence of your hangers perfectly with the alarm’s LED alerts for the ultimate visual indication.
