Alarms seem half decent, found a receiver on ebay for £35 new. Arrived today glad I got it to set the alarms but can't see it lasting long quality seems awful even for the price.

Cheers for the reply, that's what I thought. Oh well looks like I'll be getting the receiver as well then.

I wanted a couple of cheap alarms for a river setup, originally I brought a couple of the new fox mini microns and returned them same day due to them being a POS. I thought the S9's looked quite neat so brought a pair (individually). Now I think I know the answer to this but do you need the receiver in order to use the app and ultimately change any setting other than the light colour?

Just got a set and i was surprised how soft they felt compared to my 12ft 3.25's. Not used them in a fishing situation as my lakes flooded just wanted to see how they cast but they feel a lot nicer than i was expecting.

Has anyone had any issues with their xtractors breaking? I ordered a set to take to france in a couple of months, its not a big lake and lots of stalking spots so thought they'd make a nice change from my 12ft's. Took them to the lake just to check the casting, second cast the top section cracked and split around the joint. looking at the finish it would appear to me to be a bit of a Friday afternoon job with the other 2 and the replacement all looking fine. That said i'm now a bit concerned taking them to France as my main set. I searched around and haven't found any reports of breakages unlike the dwarfs but thought I'd just check here to put my mind at rest.

Sorry for being a bit off topic. What are the 10ft 3.25 like for casting? ideal casting weight / distance? thinking of getting some for evenings after work so i can just leave them in the boot all day.

I use an Avid transit quiver and my tempest brolly V2 fits fine along with my net, sling and sticks.
