Fox RX+ 2 Rod Presentation Set

With improved features compared to the NTX-R, the Fox RX+ 2 Rod Presentation Set brings deeper ears, with no increase in the height of the alarm.  The twin LED colours can be manually selected using a button located on the battery cover, and the alarm can be manually set to day or night mode. You are also able to manually adjust the Vari-Bright LED brightness, to give maximum visibility for the conditions you’re fishing in: you’ll need a different brightness on a day with blue skies and bright sun than you will for an overcast day.

Running from two AA batteries, the Fox RX+ bite alarms feature a low battery warning, so you can change the batteries before you risk missing a bite alert because they’re drained.  The overall battery drain is relatively low, so, as long as you invest in some good quality batteries, you should get a lot of use out of this fox bite alarm before you need to change the batteries. However, it makes sense to keep a pack of batteries in your kit bag, as there’s nothing more frustrating than having to finish a session without your tech because the batteries died. Bite alarm batteries required are 2xAA and the RX+ receiver requires 3xAA batteries.

With an increased clearance around the roller wheel and improved drainage, you shouldn’t have too many problems with cold conditions causing the roller wheel to seize up, leading to far more enjoyment on winter night fishing sessions. Unlike other bite alarms, the Fox RX+ alarm comes fully equipped with digital circuitry, and uses DTSS, with a high-quality cone speaker. The RX+ receiver gives stronger range performance than other models, making the RX+ the ideal bite alarm if you’re casting a fair way from the bank.

Compatible with the brand new Fox RX+ Security System, which has been designed by Fox to work with the RX+ Bite Alarm Heads and RX+ Receiver. This system features a Passive Infrared Motion Sensor (PIR) that links to the RX+ Light, RX+ Receiver and RX+ Remote. This system offers many advantages, but its main use is to alert you of any movement around your rods by both illuminating the bivvy light in the system and the remote. Giving you peace of mind that your valuable alarms and set up are safe, especially when fishing public waterways.

Also available for those who like to carry their bite alarms in a case is the Fox Camolite RX+ Bite Alarm Case (available separately) and for those that want to give their valuable bite alarms the ultimate level of protection then there is also the Carpsight Fox RX+ 3+1 Alarm Storm Fishing Case which is a full hard case for your alarms and has been custom built for this alarm range.

Other features of the bite alarm and receiver set is the rubber grips are designed to be gentle on your rod, whilst still offering a stable, secure grip. The fully sealed, waterproof case, so there’s no need to worry if your gear gets wet and a well-deserved reputation for quality, you can have complete faith in your Fox RX+ 2 Rod Presentation Set to serve you well whatever your style of fishing.

Indexed ergonomic control for volume (8 different levels of volume with lowest setting being completely silent). Indexed ergonomic control for tone (8 different tone settings: turn dial clockwise to raise pitch and anti-clockwise to lower pitch). Indexed ergonomic control for Intelligent Sensitivity featuring See-Saw elimination (8 different sensitivity settings – see below Sensitivity table for comparison to NTX-R). Range test function allows user to check RX+ Receiver is picking up RX+ head at any given range. Low battery warning (LED colour changes to cyan indicating it is time to replace batteries). Power Out Socket (2.5mm) for use with illuminated Swingers. Supplied with two compression washer options: rigid and soft with an additional spare soft washer per unit.

Improved features compared to NTX-R

Deeper ears with no increase in the height of the alarm. Twin multi-colour LEDs, one per ear and at the very top of the ear. External control of the multi-colour LEDs with Colour Sync™ function – simply change LED colour via button on the battery cover. Manually selectable day and night modes. External control of the Vari-Bright adjustable LED brightness to suit the conditions you are fishing in (choice of 3 LED brightness settings in day mode and 3 different brightness settings in night mode) simply adjust via button on battery cover. Larger clearance around the roller wheel and improved drainage vastly reduces chances of roller wheel freezing up in extreme cold conditions. Stronger range performance with RX+ Receiver. Improved sensitivity range (see below).

Sensitivity Control

In all sensitivity settings (except maximum), the line must travel the specified distance in the same direction and within 2 seconds in order to trigger the unit. Any movement in the opposite direction will reset the distance counter to zero. This can substantially reduce, or eliminate false triggering caused by wind and water movement.

Ultra-Long Range™. Digital circuitry. Low battery drain. Battery life indication when receiver is switched on (4 x green LEDs indicates full/close to full, 3 x green LEDs indicates the batteries are used, but do not need replacing, 2 x orange LEDs indicates the batteries are becoming low, 1 x red LED indicates batteries are low and need replacing). Low battery warning (LEDs will flash cyan periodically indicating the batteries need replacing).

Improved features over NTX-R Receiver.

Larger indicator LED windows, visible from both the front and the top of the receiver. Optional bivvy light function when you receive a bite. Free standing design for placing on bivvy table/bucket lid. Soft grip casing. Ability to sync up to eight RX+ Micron heads. Stronger radio performance. Silent ON mode, full receiver function but with no sound output.

Bivvy Light function

When the bivvy light feature is turned on via the switch on the back of the receiver it will behave in the following ways: The indication lights on the receiver will be dimmed slightly to prevent the receiver emitting too much light whilst the bivvy light is active. The bivvy light will only come on if three bite triggers are received in quick succession to prevent liners and false indication turning your bivvy light on unnecessarily. The bivvy light will fade into full brightness and remain on whilst the alarm continues to send trigger signals to the receiver. The light will fade out to nothing in the 5 seconds after the trigger lights have gone out on the receiver as long as no more indications are received.
