I bought some very nice buzzer bars so im sharing the info.
The first set i bought were Sonik Stanz 3 rod bars in 11.5" and 9.5" and they are just wide enough for big pit reels.
The aluminium tube is very light but is 16mm so they will not bend in normal use.
They have adjustable locking collars to align your alarms, but the great feature is they can be used as regular bars or goalpost.
I later found some 2 rod bars on ebay made from the same thick 16mm ali tube, and only �8 a pair...
The guy advertises a pair of 8" or 6" but no option for one of each. I messaged him and he said its no problem, just include a message and he will send an 8" and a 6" bar. These also have the adjustable locking collars.
The 6" rear is ideal for my shimano xte sized reels. The 8" bar weighs only 72g.
Edit: he now offers one of each size on the advert!

They are great. I have the micron on my 2 rod and the micron X on the three rod.
My only gripe is the drop back tone, but that seems to becoming a standard thing.

Just got them for £6.79 for a pair on that link, worth a punt at that price. Thanks Dave 👍

I have had some stainless stuff from them which was good value and solid.

They are not the old sensorisors, if thats what you thought.
Solar double ended butt bangers, solar kit off adaptors, sliding weights, custom bodies, matrix clips.
Did anyone spot the green microns. The X's are on the three rod bars.
