General Comments
The Fox Micron MMX Bite Alarm is simply the best alarm i have ever used, they look good, they are small, and have great features.
The MMXs are second to the top range in the fox micron m range, a friend has a set of the Micron MX's and after borrowing mine for a weekend has decided to sell his and buy some MMX's. The alarms have drop back differentation so if you have a drop back bite the alarms will give a different tone and the LED will flash as opposed to latch on.
The sensitivity control is a very good feature also. Many night anglers will almost deffinately experienced wind setting off there bite alarms becuase they are too sensitive, with the MMXs you can manually adjust sensitivity to your liking.
The alarms have a very low battery drain, i have still to hear the warning for low batteries and another friend has has the low battery warning for 6 months and the battery still hasn't run out yet.
The MMXs take LR1 batteries.
The Fox Micron MMX's retail at about £54.99 and are available at most good tackle shops.
MMX's come with either Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue LEDs.
