Who it suits
Anglers who want a compact, simple alarm with a receiver at a budget price, and those adding a backup set. The three-button layout is easy to use in the dark once you know it.
Worth knowing
- The original Mini Micron (without the X) is not receiver compatible, so check the name carefully when buying second-hand.
- Fox recommends using it with a bobbin, hanger or swinger for the best indication: see our indicators guide.
