I'm still using my Micron M's I bought 20 years ago. Just an on/off button and a volume knob. As long as it goes bleep when the line moves that's all I need it to do.
Great value for money , but i think i will stick with my Delkims ,(Best alarms ever) but if someone is just starting of carp fishing ,then these microns are for you !
i bet these are no way near the same quality, my friend had an early micron from the 90's, he bought another probably 5 years later, and i remember him opening them up and even back then, the circuitry and build of the earlier model was so much better. I don't like fox gear, i've heard staff in tackle shops talk about how much they mark up cheap products, and they are one of the worst companies for it, still i do sometimes buy fox products. However its one thing to buy cheap and know it might fall apart, but fox so often charge premium prices, for stuff that's worth peanuts, imo fox gear is more about bling factor than quality, especially these days.
I have still got the original mini microns and they are still going strong,even though they are gathering dust along with quite a bit of old gear at the back of the garage 🤣🤣
@Dr Joe44 and you have owned a set since launch and had no problems 👍 its 2020 everything is packed with features , the microns are good if your old and dont care for a reciver 👍
Too much tech for me. I,m still using my 20 year old microns. An on/off switch and a volume control. I do not need anything more. I was looking to replace them. Only because of their age. I just want new ones exactly the same. Can't seem to find any.
@Margin Carper y Nash beginners are same price as these? And fox is expensive like Nash cause its quality stuff. Isn't Nash the longest serving tackle so that says alot it's self
Think the Nash S5s looks horrible, plus the sides are low and curved so if tight on the drag (to avoid snags) then out comes your rod if you get a side take. The Fox mini microns imho look a lot nicer and also more practical with better sides for keeping your rod safe but each to their own.
@@carpFisher-no6igit doesn't say much..delkims leak but people buy them.nash do a good bedchairs .both fox and nash rods are as rough as toast but fox cheap micron alarms don't leak.they do some good stuff but some crap stuff too

Receivers? I have one on each side of my head. handy for stopping glasses slipping off too ;-)
Awesome starter alarms 👍... Completion entered, but there are no previous competitions announcement winners?
I thought the same, they never announce the winners 😂
Had set of old microns cracking bit of kit first time carp fishing 🐟🎣👍👊

Had the original pukka alarms need a set of theses to I think
Just red led's or do they do other colours?
4 changeable colours ,blue green.orange red

If you want to sell them let me know 😁
Where do you get the new chair from?
Got a set of three. Cannot fault them myself
Are these waterproof
Just got a pair as a back up set and cant fault them.
Original mini microns came out 26years ago buddy my mate had a set👍
Can i buy reciver for them
Do they sell a receiver for the alarms as well
You could buy a universal dongle to plug in the bottom then connect a receiver to it.
They do presentation sets now (2 or 3) but the price hike is pretty steep, around £200 for the 3 rod set.
waterproof/ rainproof??
That's assumed with Fox alarms, at least the rainproof part. I can't remember a single Fox alarm misbehaving in the rain over the last few decades.
Given the cost of these, how do fox justify well over £600 for a set of the top end alarms? The tech isn't THAT different.
tackle tarts ?
I was wondering this, I know each to their own and all that but how can you justify £500+ for a set of alarms?
@@benbrook7970 My ND S9 alarms are brilliant and I got three plus a receiver for 120!
ND S9s are the best budget on the market if you want a wireless reciever 👍
@Dr Joe44 and you have owned a set since launch and had no problems 👍 its 2020 everything is packed with features , the microns are good if your old and dont care for a reciver 👍
receiver?
Nooooo...
J have 3..... Very good for money...
Originals were great, back when fox products were great.. do the math.
I still use my micron mmxr’s. They must be 15 years old or older. Had to replace the receiver but still going strong. Proper quality alarms

Nash s5 siren. On/off and volume only
I use these, they £30 each
Look like decent hard wearing alarms to me
These alarms will catch you more and bigger fish lol....
Absolutely Not, they could’ve if they would of used AAA batteries, LR1’s....👎👎👎
Like how say budget alarms you seen the price of them 🤔 nothing cheap about them sadly, but fox for your nothing they do is cheap.
LOL £29.99 go get a job you doll tosser
90 quid for three alarms is cheap you tight twat
Your logic does not compute and your grammar baffles me??
Tight arse lol. They are very cheap.
They're £20 each, how is that not budget lol
Bellend
They are vile.. Nash beginners (s5) are 5x better and 5x nicer looking
