Product Information

Full details

The Avid VTX+ Illuminated Snag Ears are designed for anglers using the VTX+ bite alarm system who require enhanced rod security and visual bite indication. These snag ears provide a reliable grip during aggressive takes while mirroring your alarm's light patterns, offering excellent visibility in low-light conditions; however, they are exclusively compatible with the VTX+ alarm range and require replacing the original backplate.

FAQs

Can I use these on other brands of bite alarms?

No, these are exclusively compatible with the Avid VTX+ bite alarm system.

Do the snag ears need their own batteries?

No, they draw power directly from the VTX+ alarm via the integrated USB-C connector.

Are the snag ears waterproof?

The system includes a weather-sealed backplate, but always ensure the protective bungs are used if you remove the ears.

Can I adjust the height of the snag ears?

The ears have a fixed height of 5.5cm.

What is included in the package?

The pack includes one backplate, two snag ears, and two replacement bungs.

How do I change the brightness of the lights?

Brightness is controlled through the settings menu of the VTX+ bite alarm.

Troubleshooting

Snag ears are not illuminating

Ensure the USB-C connection on the backplate is securely seated and the alarm unit has fresh batteries.

LEDs are not matching alarm color or motion

Check your VTX+ alarm settings to ensure the output is configured to mirror the main LED.

Backplate does not sit flush

Remove the unit and check for debris in the mounting grooves before re-attaching.

Pros and Cons

  • Seamless integration with VTX+ bite alarm LEDs
  • No extra battery maintenance required
  • Enhanced rod security during intense fishing scenarios
  • Modular components allow for easy transport and customization
  • Includes weather-proof bungs for long-term protection

Cons

  • Requires removing the original alarm backplate

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, remove the standard backplate from your VTX+ bite alarm and replace it with the supplied USB-C integrated backplate. Ensure the connection is seated firmly to maintain the weather seal. When transporting your gear, unscrew the snag ears to prevent damage; if you are leaving the attachment points exposed, screw in the provided replacement bungs to prevent debris or water from entering the connection port. The unit is designed specifically for the VTX+ series, so do not attempt to force it onto other alarm models as this will damage the USB-C interface.
