What these specs mean · Compare every alarm

Fox describes the Mini Micron X as a modern re-worked version of its old-school Mini Micron. The headline change is receiver technology: the compact head now pairs with the Mini Micron X receiver, sold in 2, 3 and 4 rod sets.

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.
