Designed for durability and rod protection, this accessory is ideal for those using the Fox N or M series Microns; however, users should verify compatibility if utilizing non-standard bite alarm models before purchase.

FAQs

Will these fit non-Fox bite alarms?

They are specifically designed for Fox N and M series Microns; fitment with other brands cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need tools to install them?

Yes, you will generally need a screwdriver to mount them correctly to the back of your alarm.

Do the snag ears damage my rod?

No, the top half features a rubber over-mould designed specifically to protect your rod blank from damage.

Is the swinger plate removable?

The plate is an integrated part of the mounting system, providing a stable platform for your indicator.

Can I use these with all types of rod setups?

They are best suited for 'locked up' fishing styles where you need maximum security for your rod tips.

Troubleshooting

Snag ears feel loose on the alarm body

Check the mounting screws on the back of the alarm; tighten them using a suitable screwdriver until the unit is flush.

Swinger plate interferes with bank stick connection

Ensure the swinger plate is oriented correctly before tightening the alarm onto the bank stick, as the orientation affects overall alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents rod loss during extreme 'locked-up' fishing scenarios
  • Soft rubber over-mould protects expensive rod finishes
  • Dual-purpose design integrates rod security and swinger attachment
  • Easy to install on most standard bite alarms
  • Rugged build quality suitable for long-term use

Cons

  • May not fit some non-Fox or oversized bite alarms
  • Adds a small amount of extra height to your alarm setup
  • Requires removing the alarm from the bank stick during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the unit, remove your bite alarm from your bank stick or rod pod. Place the swinger plate between the alarm and the bank stick adapter, then align the snag ears to the mounting points provided on the rear of the alarm body. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly but avoid overtightening, which could strip the threads.

This accessory is natively compatible with the Fox N and M series Microns. For maintenance, keep the unit clean of mud and debris. If the rubber over-mould becomes dusty, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the soft-touch coating.
