Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Two-rod carp anglers. You get the two alarms and matching receiver needed for a tidy, focused setup without buying spare bits separately.
- Anglers fishing day and night sessions. The selectable lighting modes, adjustable brightness and silent option give you plenty of control as conditions change.
Maybe skip if
- Three-rod carp anglers. This is a two-rod presentation set, so you’ll need another compatible alarm for a full three-rod spread.
- Anglers after the simplest possible alarm. Eight tone, volume and sensitivity settings offer flexibility, but they can be more control than a basic, no-faff setup needs.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox RX+ 2-Rod Presentation Set
If you’re after a neat two-rod setup that does a bit more than just beep when a carp has a wobble, the Fox RX+ 2-Rod Presentation Set is well worth a look. You get two Micron RX+ alarms, the matching RX+ receiver and a proper presentation/storage case. No scrabbling around for a compatible receiver or wondering where the spare alarm’s gone.
That makes it a particularly sensible package for the angler who fishes two rods and likes things kept tidy. The alarms and receiver all live together in the supplied case, which is proper handy when you’re packing down after a late bite-time. Chuck it in the carryall, keep the bits together and get on with watching the water.
The alarms themselves use digital circuitry and Fox’s D-Tec Plus Sensing System, or DTSS. In plain English, that gives you a good spread of adjustment for setting the alarms around the swim and the conditions. You’ve got eight sensitivity settings, eight tone settings and eight volume levels, including silent. That’s a fair amount of control for a compact two-rod setup.
Sensitivity adjustment is useful when the lake’s being a bit lively. You can tailor the alarms rather than having every little twitch, tow or bit of weed screaming at you. On a calm margin spot, you might want a different feel from a windy open-water swim. Having eight steps means you can dial things in instead of simply choosing “sensitive” or “not very sensitive”.
The lighting options are strong too. The RX+ alarms have twin multi-colour LEDs, with selectable day and night modes. Each mode offers three LED brightness settings, so you can keep the indication clear without having your alarm lighting up the whole bivvy like a kebab shop. That’s especially useful overnight, when you want to see what’s happening but don’t fancy a bright glare every time the line moves.
Volume control runs from audible levels through to silent. That silent setting can be dead handy if the receiver is doing the shouting, or if you’re fishing close to other anglers and don’t want your alarms chirping across the lake. You can choose the tone to suit your preference as well, which makes it easier to tell the rods apart when both are in the water.
The alarm cases are weatherproof and sealed, so they’re built with proper bank life in mind. That matters when the weather turns, the dew settles in or you’re dealing with a damp early-morning pack-down. It doesn’t mean you can chuck them in the lake, obviously, but it does give the set the right sort of protection for normal fishing conditions.
Mounting is nicely thought through. Rod-friendly rubber inlays help the alarm sit against the blank, while the rigid 3/8-inch stainless-steel thread gives you a solid connection to a buzzer bar or bankstick setup. The set also includes rigid and soft compression washers, so you’ve got options for getting a snug fit without making a meal of it.
There’s a 2.5 mm power-out socket on each alarm for illuminated swingers, which keeps the setup flexible if you like a bit of visual indication. Just remember the complete set needs five AA batteries: two in each alarm and three in the receiver. Nothing outrageous, but worth chucking a fresh set in the tackle box before a big weekend, mate.

Our take
Why this set makes sense
This is all about a clean, flexible two-rod setup. You can tune the alarms to suit a quiet margin swim, a windy open lake or a proper overnight bite-time, while the receiver keeps the action close at hand.
The presentation case is a big part of the appeal too. It keeps the alarms and receiver together, rather than letting them rattle around loose in a carryall. Dead handy when you’re packing down in the dark or moving swims.
Closer look
A tidy package with plenty going on
The main attraction is the clean bundle. Two Micron RX+ alarms, one RX+ receiver and the presentation/storage case cover the core of a two-rod setup. The weatherproof, sealed alarm cases are suited to normal bank conditions, while the case keeps everything together between sessions.
The adjustment range is generous. Eight sensitivity settings let you tune the alarms to the spot, eight tone settings help you distinguish the rods and eight volume levels include a silent option. Twin multi-colour LEDs, selectable day and night modes and three brightness settings in each mode give you plenty to play with.
Worth knowing. Each alarm takes 2 x AA batteries and the receiver takes 3 x AA batteries. The 2.5 mm power-out socket is there for illuminated swingers, and the set includes both rigid and soft compression washers for mounting.
Who it suits
Best for focused two-rod fishing
This set suits carp anglers who regularly fish two rods and want a matched alarm-and-receiver package. It’ll make sense for day sessions, overnight trips and longer campaigns where being able to alter brightness, tone, volume and sensitivity is genuinely useful.
It’s also a good fit if you care about keeping your kit organised. The presentation case is more than a flashy extra; it gives the alarms and receiver a proper home. That means less rummaging around in the dark when a screaming take finally gets you out of the bedchair.
It’s less convincing for someone who only wants the cheapest basic alarm, or for a three-rod angler who wants everything covered straight away. You’d need another alarm for three rods, and the adjustment options may feel like overkill if you just want a simple beep and flashing light.
FAQs in full
The useful stuff before you buy
Can the alarms run silently? Yes. There are eight volume levels, including silent. That lets you rely on the receiver for audible indication, which can be useful when you’re tucked close to the rods or fishing alongside other anglers.
Are the LEDs only for night fishing? No. The set has selectable day and night modes, with three brightness settings in both modes. You can choose the level that gives clear indication without making the LEDs unnecessarily bright.
What mounting hardware is included? The alarms have rod-friendly rubber inlays and a rigid 3/8-inch stainless-steel thread. Rigid and soft compression washers are supplied, giving you a couple of ways to get a secure, rod-friendly fit on your buzzer setup.
