Product Information

Full details

The Fox Black Label Snag Ear & Adjustable Hockey Stick is designed for dedicated carp anglers who require increased security for their rods during aggressive takes or in windy conditions. The product provides the primary benefit of preventing your rod from being pulled off the alarms by combining high-quality snag ears with a versatile, adjustable hockey stick for your bite indicators. A notable caveat is that it is primarily intended for use within the Fox Black Label range, so compatibility with other brands' specific bankware setups should be verified before purchase.

FAQs

Can I use these with any brand of bite alarm?

The plate is designed to fit between standard alarms and bankware, but it is optimized for the Fox Black Label range.

Are the snag ears permanent?

No, the snag ears are designed to be easily removable for storage or travel.

Will this scratch my rod?

No, the snag ears feature a rubber overmould specifically designed to protect your rod blanks.

How do I adjust the hockey stick?

Simply screw your indicator into the hockey stick and use the locking mechanism to fix the position.

Is the finish durable?

Yes, it features a high-quality black anodised finish that is resistant to corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Indicator arm is wobbly

Ensure the locking nut on the hockey stick is fully tightened against the plate.

Snag ear feels loose

Check the connection point where the ear attaches to the plate and ensure it is pushed home or screwed in securely.

Alarm does not sit level

Check if the plate is properly centered between the alarm base and the bankware before tightening the alarm.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adjustable design offers precise bite indicator tension
  • Modular component allows for easy breakdown and transport

Cons

  • Requires specific alignment with Black Label bankware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, remove your existing bite alarm from the bankstick or buzz bar. Place the Fox Black Label Snag Ear plate between the alarm and the buzzer bar/bankstick and tighten securely. Once the plate is fixed, you can screw your indicator chain or arm into the integrated hockey stick slot. To adjust the tension, loosen the locking nut on the hockey stick, move it to your desired position, and tighten it firmly. For maintenance, keep the threads clean from debris and grit. After wet sessions, wipe the anodised plate and rubber components with a damp cloth to prevent salt or silt buildup, ensuring the threads remain smooth for future adjustments.
