An ideal simple bite alarm set up when purchased with the Fox Micron RX + Receiver, the Micron RX+ Head features intelligent sensitivity control, which virtually eliminates false alerts caused by wind and water motion; in order to trigger the alarm, in all settings other than maximum, the line has to experience continuous movement in the same direction, for a specified distance, for at least two seconds.
The Tru-Run roller wheel features increased clearance around the roller, and improved drainage. This makes it less likely that the wheel will freeze in very cold conditions. The enhanced performance continues with the ability to manually select not just day and night light levels for the twin colour LEDs, but also appropriate levels for different daytime fishing conditions, such as fishing from a pier on a bright, clear day, or tackling in a shaded pond on an overcast morning. The LED colour can be quickly and easily changed using a button on the battery cover, ensuring your bite alarm always looks “right” to you.
Running from two AA batteries, this is a low drain product which includes a low battery warning, so when you stop fishing, it’ll be because you have to be up for work in the morning, rather than because your batteries have died.
The Micron RX + features stronger range performance, particularly when used with the Micron RX + receiver, which will ideally suit anglers who regularly cast across long distances in pursuit of their dream fish.
The Fox RX+ Bite Alarm Head is perfect for the angler looking for a single rod set up, when purchased with the Fox RX+ Receiver. Additionally, if you already have on of the Fox RX+ Presentation Sets then you can purchase this alarm to add an extra rod to your existing set up.

Deeper ears with no increase in the height of the alarm. Twin multi-colour LEDs, one per ear and at the very top of the ear. External control of the multi-colour LEDs with Colour Sync™ function – simply change LED colour via button on the battery cover. Manually selectable day and night modes. External control of the Vari-Bright adjustable LED brightness to suit the conditions you are fishing in (choice of 3 LED brightness settings in day mode and 3 different brightness settings in night mode) simply adjust via button on battery cover. Larger clearance around the roller wheel and improved drainage vastly reduces chances of roller wheel freezing up in extreme cold conditions. Stronger range performance with RX+ Receiver. Improved sensitivity range (see below).
Sensitivity Control
In all sensitivity settings (except maximum), the line must travel the specified distance in the same direction and within 2 seconds in order to trigger the unit. Any movement in the opposite direction will reset the distance counter to zero. This can substantially reduce, or eliminate false triggering caused by wind and water movement.
