FAQs

Are these compatible with other bite alarm brands?

No, the VTX+ Snag Ears are specifically engineered to fit only the Avid VTX+ bite alarms.

Can I use just one snag ear?

Yes, the modular design allows you to use either one or both ears depending on your preference and fishing situation.

What is the height of the ears?

The snag ears have a height of 5.5cm.

Why are replacement bungs included?

The bungs are provided to protect the threaded holes and internal contacts of your alarm from water, dust, and dirt when the snag ears are removed.

How do I store the snag ears?

Because they unscrew, they can be easily stored in your tackle box without taking up significant space.

Troubleshooting

Snag ear feels loose

Ensure the thread is clear of debris and screw the ear down firmly until the base is flush with the alarm housing.

Difficulty inserting protective bungs

Check the thread for grit or sand; clean with a soft brush and ensure the bung is aligned correctly before turning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Prevents rod movement in snaggy conditions
Modular configuration allows for single or double ear use
Includes protective bungs for maintenance
Easy to install and remove for compact transport
Durable construction matched to VTX+ aesthetics

Cons

Exclusive compatibility only with VTX+ bite alarms
Requires manual removal and storage of bungs
Not suitable for universal use with other alarm brands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, remove the standard bungs from the top of your VTX+ bite alarm and screw the snag ears directly into the threaded ports. Do not overtighten, as a finger-tight fit is sufficient to ensure stability.

Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for the Avid VTX+ bite alarm series. It is not compatible with other brands or older Avid alarm models.

Care: After each session, wipe the threads with a clean cloth to prevent grit buildup. If the ears become wet, ensure the unit is dry before inserting the protective bungs to avoid trapping moisture inside the alarm housing.
