It must be the rubber version thats the latest version then. Total fishing have 10% off at min so rx are £519 and r4's £550 but seen the r4 for £450 elsewhere.

Everyone ive seen online says they have the soft touch rubber coating, strange if they are the original version.

the soft touch is definitely the earlier version, its most likely people have bought old stock. the date they were made / tested is on the side of them on the green sticker.

mine are 2021 and soft touch, my brothers which were purchased this year are not

Having owned Fox, Nash, Delkims and Ace alarms over the years I have to say the best alarms by far are those from Nash. I currently have the Nash R4s which are superb but I am not sure I use all the functionality and maybe the R3+ alarms would have been a better option. Personally I would never go back to Delkims. The vibration technology is terrible in rain, wind etc. The Nash alarms are not affected by this due to the speed sensing technology - when they bleep something is happening below the surface.

I really doubt Fox are bringing out a new alarm to replace the rx+ as they just released a whole security set to pair with the rx+.

there's nothing wrong with the transmitter/receiver side of the RX+. honestly, I don't see why they couldn't make any new alarms backwards compatible with it. it'd look great from an angler's point of view too, unlike all the new stuff lately where you've got to toss out your old accessories.

Pretty sure it's just social media speculation, And I'm also pretty sure I've seen Fox comment themselves saying pretty much that.

No new alarm in the pipeline.

+1.

In my honest opinion, the Fox RX+ is trading on the name, the alarms took a backwards step from the original RX onwards.
