Iconic Revamp | Fox Mini Micron Multicolour

The Fox Mini Micron is back with a fresh twist. Launched in the late ‘90s, this bite alarm was an instant classic and brought affordable bite detection to a wider range of anglers. Now, Fox has reimagined the Mini Micron with all-new multicolour LED functionality, keeping its classic shape and look legacy intact while adding some modern perks - those of which we'll tell you about now…

1. Bright New Multicolour LEDs
The standout feature of the new Mini Micron Multicolour is its vibrant, adjustable LEDs. You can now switch between Green, Blue, Red, and Orange to suit your setup. Positioned at the top of the ears for maximum visibility, these 5mm high-visibility LEDs ensure you’ll never get confused by which rod is one-toning.

2. Fine-Tuned Control  
With volume, tone, and sensitivity all offering multiple settings, this latest ‘Mini’ lets you customise your alarms to your exact preferences. The four volume and tone settings, combined with two sensitivity options, mean you’re always in control, whether it’s windy, or you’re fishing for line bites in the winter.

3. D-Tec Sensing System for Precision
Fox’s D-Tec Sensing System with roller wheel technology ensures accurate, reliable bite detection. This upgraded sensing system makes sure every movement on your line gets registered without false alarms, offering consistency no matter the fishing conditions.

4. Durable and Practical Design
The Mini Micron’s build quality remains as solid as ever. It features rubber inlays to protect your rods and keep them in place during savage takes. With an on/off toggle switch, a knurled locking collar, and a robust, weather-resistant body, this alarm is built to last for any terrain, whether that's on Linear’s B1 or whilst tackling inland seas like Lac Cassien in France.

5. Power to the Accessories
A 2.5mm power-out socket allows the use of illuminated bite indicators like the Fox Illuminated Swinger®. This added versatility means you can customise your setup further and get the most out of your alarm system, enhancing your bite detection experience. This balance of modern technology and classic design makes the Fox Mini Micron Multicolour the perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation.

   What We Love   

1. Price  
At £19.99, the Mini Micron Multicolour is extremely affordable.

2. Multicolour LEDs  
The ability to change between multiple LED colours adds a nice customisable touch.

3. Durability and Build Quality
It just feels well-built, and has some nice features, such as a rubber inlays.

   What We Don’t   

1. No Receiver Compatibility
Unlike the pricier model X, the Mini Micron Multicolour isn’t compatible with a receiver system.

2. Battery Type
It uses small N-type/LR1 batteries, which can be harder to find than the more common AAA batteries used in other alarms.

3. Limited Sensitivity Settings
While it offers some control, the two sensitivity settings may not be enough for anglers.
