Fox mini micron x bite alarms no nonsense honest review.

I've owned these alarms for more than 6 months and used them extensively in all sorts of weather. I'm making this a real world honest review to save you making the same mistakes as I made when looking at lower to mid range priced bite alarms before I ended up with these.
Whilst researching and scouring the market for an affordable 3 rod set I had a few stipulations. Number 1 they had to be reliable, 2, I wanted them to either be rechargeable or house the PP3 9v battery in the alarm heads themselves and 3, I wanted a power out jack.
Well 2 out of 3 isn't bad as I had to forfeit the PP3 9v battery for the LR1.
I'm so glad I did because these alarms are truly wonderful, they're sleek looking units and a real joy to use. The power efficiency is also very impressive in fact I'm still using the first set of batteries that I purchased when buying the alarms.
To summarise: If you're looking to purchase reliable alarms from a reputable brand for under £200 these could well be right up your street.

I'd been looking at bite alarms for the last 2 months, really couldn't decide which to go for, last night I went a brought a set of these used, and I have to admit they are really good, I had the original ones way back in the day and we didn't have receivers then and pleased to say these are the exact same quality as I remember fox alarms being back then, you can't go wrong with fox alarms great quality and totally reliable, I'd looked at delks, nd tackle, Nash, etc some are absolutely ridiculous price wise ok if you want all the extra gimmicks I guess but I don't need that, just wanted a decent reliable set with decent battery life so I had to go for a set of fox alarms 😀

I've always said all multi product tackle companies have one item they excel in.
Nash....Bivvies, Diawa....Reels and with Fox its alarms which I've used non stop since the early 90's. I've got a set of these and there bullet proof in my eyes, and cheap..

[gavinsmith]

Hi mate. What's the battery life like on these? Ta in advance.

I bought a 4 rod presentation set & all 4 will bleep randomly on their own when windy.
Before you buy hold an alarm head in your hand and just shake it…….. they go off beeping constantly no matter what sensitivity setting.
The roller wheel is not even turning

Quick question. If I choose silent mode and I switch the bite alarm off, when I switch it back on, will it be on the same setting or I will have to go through the volume settings again to set it once more on silent? Thanks.

i bought a two rod set up then bought a single x version one… but the single one wont connect to the 2rod set ups reciever. any advice?

[jamesscott]

I don’t suppose anyone knows the range of the receiver ? I bought a second hand set and it doesn’t work at all through a few marginal bushes. And there not even that thick.
I’m a bit disappointed really and I’m not even sure how far it is supposed to work any help would be good.

Do you still use the pva bags and can you leave a link please

[scottfez]

Have you fished in minus tempratures with these? Im a little worried about the wheels freezing up, my delks have a problem again and just want new and these look mega value. Thanks

What's the best setting for the sensitivity I bought the same alarm and went fishing yesterday and accidentally pressed the sensitivity button whilst setting up and dodnt know if it had a bad impact on my fishing for the day?

Similar to the Sonik Hero X bite alarms.
