having recently brought two of these alarms i must say how dissapointed i am in fox .The alarms are well made to look at and give the appearance of a quality piece of kit,but after first impressions they take a turn for the worse ,the switch on the top where the rod sits isn`t sensitive enough and some pressure is needed to make sure it engages if you just put the rod down it won`t switch on ( I use a fox 3.25 lb test curve dead bit rod fitted with shimano 10000xte reels loaded with briad surely ths should be heavy enough?), scondly one of the arms after one trip couldn`t be set and turned out to be faulty.(Replaced by retailler no problem)the main problem in my opinion is the new line clip when i test the pull required to release the line from it i found it was solid and the rod would be pulled off the pod before it would release; all in all for a cutting edge alarm i`m extremely disapointed ;more so with fox for not doing what i would class as basic research, i`ve since reverted to fox es alarms and drop back indicators; they have kept my business but i can imagine many won`t be quite as loyal
