COMPLETE CONNECTIVITY! | New Direction's NEW S9Pro Bite Alarms

New Direction's S9 Pro Smart Bite Alarm is the equivalent of a Google Nest Home System: all your devices are seamlessly connected together. ND’s original S9 alarm certainly turned heads when it was launched back in 2019, but for 2024, they've gone back to the drawing board and added in a whole heap of new tech! Here's CARPology's Iain Mitchell with all the details...

I have the original S9’s and have had them for many years now, brilliant set off alarms! Two things I wish were different one being a different tone for a drop back which I’m glad to see on this new model! And the other being that I wish the sensitivity settings tracked how much the line moved in a certain direction as it can be really annoying in choppy conditions especially fishing with braid. Sensitivity is measured in millimeters on the alarms so say you have it set to 20mm before you hear a beep it could move 10mm forward and 10mm backwards and you get a beep or 15mm forward and 5mm backwards, basically as soon as it adds up to 20mm the alarms sounds, if ND could come up with a way to track how far the line moves in one direction and when it hit that value in a single direction set by the sensitivity then sound the buzzer this would eradicate false indications from small movement in the line from waves/ weather/ if fishing from a boat or floating jetty. I feel this would be a big improvement and would love to see it on the production models! Also buzzing to see they have gone with the same design as the S9 as the design of them looks amazing.

Their K9 was simply the best alarm they have done. Im sure if they do an update on that model they would sell by the tonne. I love mine and how they can be programmed from the app. I also think the K9 is a better-looking alarm. Just need a more programmable receiver.

i had the S9's, They are great, but they go silent in heavy rain and after some time they don't get as loud anymore. they are still doing the job on my friends buzzer bar, but they aren't as waterproof as they say.

The reason I bought them 4 years ago, is a smartband. Set all volumes to 0, and enjoy stealth bait indication 🎉

Ive been wondering whats been going on at nd, they seemed to have gone quiet, the tackle box release was a nightmare and they don't seem to have done much ever since, i had a set of s9's thought they were great but unfortunately went faulty in heavy rain, I bought a replacement and even though it was still an s9 that linked to everything like the old ones it made a completely different noise and felt quite flimsy, that one also went faulty so I bought some mini microns instead. Such a shame as they could have been great but they just weren't reliable enough for me in the end

I have the k9s with watch. The reciever button is terrible making it a chore to navigate the menus to serup the alarms. The app is okay but can only be used to setup the alarms and not as a bite alarm running in the backround for when you are warching a film with headphones on for example. The watch i find is the best thing to setup the alarms. Everything feels cheap. I wish i had got ATTs instead.
