Durable, Long Lasting, Premium Snag Ears Created by Mechanical Engineers, Using Only High Quality Materials.
Our tailored Snag Ears for the Fox Mini Micron X bite alarm are the outcome of designing without limits on manufacturability or material costs. Designed for the Fox Mini Micron alarms without compromise, they're a perfect match to level up your carp fishing setup.
Carbon Fibre
Our carbon snag ears are not your typical plain black carbon rod, they are 3k twill woven motorsport grade carbon, chosen to match ultra high-end carp rods and carbon bankware. With a mix of unidirectional, angled and woven layers for ultimate strength, they’re a higher grade of carbon than most rods.
Removable Ears
By popular demand, this version has removable ears to make pack down easier and to allow you to tailor your setup to the fishing scenario. Our intention was to maintain the incredible durability of our fixed snag ears, which we have achieved by integrating a stainless steel M4 thread into the end of our carbon fibre snag ears, taking an assembly approach learned from motorsport engineering. The ears threads in to a durable and corrosion resistant brass thread in the snag ear body.
Customisation
Making the ears removable allowed us to add another flash of colour for you to personalise your setup. Choose from the drop down list to match your snag ears to your preffered LED colours.

- The woven carbon fibre snag ears are fitted to a beautifully engineered carbon fibre reinforced polymer base which is contoured to match the back of the alarm
- The highest possible material grades used throughout
- Ultimate confidence in keeping your rods on your alarms, in all cases
- Uses the existing battery cover screw holes for secure mounting, supplied with screws
- Allows access to the LED control buttons on the back of the alarm
Keeping your carp rod on your bite alarms
You could argue that you don’t need motorsport grade carbon fibre to keep your rods on your alarms, but snag ears are necessary for a number of carp fishing scenarios. Even on bite alarms with tall ears such as ATTs, Fox RX, Fox MX, Fox Mini Micron X and similar, rods can easily come off the alarms in these scenarios:
- Bounce - fishing close in, erratic bites where the carp turns close in and ‘plucks’ the line with its body can bounce rods off rests
- BIG fish - fishing locked up to a snag, a small 10lb carp can put serious strain on your tackle, but if you’re catching 30lb+ carp or big catfish, you need snag ears you can trust. We recently had a 60lb cat pull the rear auger point bankstick out of a hard packed bank when fishing fully locked up, before we could even get a hand on the rod. The snag ears were the only thing that stopped the rod going in the lake
- Low tips on shallow lakes - Sometimes fishing low tips is necessary due to bankside vegetation, birds, and stealth. It is these scenarios where the rod can lift off the alarm and disaster follows if there is nothing to stop it.
- Butt grips give up - Snag fishing is tense, risky, and deserves redundancy. If your rod comes out of your butt grips, which they often do when wet, your snag ears are your last line of defence to snag your reel and stop your rod from going in the lake.
Additional Tips for Snag Fishing
- Try to avoid fishing with your line exiting the tip at 90 degrees
- Use long bank sticks for deeper ground penetration, but keep them low to avoid the risk of rod bounce
- Use bankstick stabilisers in soft ground
- Auger point banksticks can dig deeper and hold firmer
- Bite alarms with rubber inlays where the rod contacts are surprisingly effective
- Butt grips that you can trust are a must
