Evening chaps,
Just wondering if any of you have seen or heard anything about the new Fox illuminated Dumpy Bobbins? There's a video on Tiktok if you type the subject of this post into the search field on TT which shows some kind of tackle show in Germany and the illuminated Dumpy Bobbins on a display stand.
I can't find anything about them on the web but the fella in the video seems to suggest that these will be available from September '25.
I've just treated myself to a new set of RX+'s and I quite fancy the new Dumpys if they're not a wind up.
Any intel appreciated.

Thanks mate, I noticed that, the leads go into the hockey stick and not the RX+ jackplug, but then the flashes on the dumpy match the leds on the alarm. All I could think of was that they are synced up to the alarms themselves.
Appreciate any info 👍

The hockey stick has a fly lead which goes round the back of the alarm into the jack socket.

still don't think you can beat the delkim swingers paired with the fox alarms, they hang properly, have arms if gets seriously windy, adjustable weights, light up nicely, have ball and line clips for edge fishing, guess only downside is price with the kudos adapters

Would love a pair of slimlights connected up to the RX+'s, have you got a picky and a link to the kudos adapters by any chance?
Post edit, please ignore I've found the link

I saw those as well and liked the look of them.
If they are out in September that would be great.
I did find something similiar while looking for any info on them
and they are from Edwards Custom Upgrades. The D2 Multi Hanger.
Apparently they work with other alarms not just theirs.
Might be worth a look.

On display in the fox edges video at Horshoe.

Not sure if I would buy.... the illuminated swinger are much more versatile, if a little heavy, but only tend to.use them on longer sessions or when fishing at range.

Strange if they've been field tested for a couple of years why they haven't been in more future product release social media. I hear that delkim are releasing the slim lights with changeable colours also. I will end up buying both but I shouldn't given the time I get out these days.

Now in shops.
I was curious to see what fox came up with, having been using delkim niteleites on my RX+ for 5 years or so, and have to say, I'll stick with the nitelights for now. I'm probably going to make a new illuminated hanger next year old school style, which I think Fox should have done.

Well, I've bought a set of the Halo bobbins in green. I wish they changed colour to suit the alarm because at £100 a pop for a set of 3 they're not exactly cheap.
