I recently purchased a pair of Fox Micron P drop off alarms due to the recent price cut and the fact my Ghetto blasters are about past it. The NEW Fox catalogue states with pouch and also details SPARE batery prices (which would suggest a battery is supplied) and the box they are supplied in (which is brand new packaging which I've only seen since the price cut) states with pouch and battery. But as it happens you don't get a pouch OR a battery, I don't care about the pouch but considering the battery is a strange one this is more than a pain. I've now had to send for two batteries at ?3.45 each. The tackle shop from which I purchased these were not made aware of this by the Fox rep so they couldn't inform me at the time. The rep has since told them that the packaging and catalogue are are fault and these are no longer supplied due to the cut in price. When my batteries arrive I'm going to source this strange 15V battery (RS Components do one which may be suitable, but I don't know what the score with the Micron PS is). If i can source the battery I will post the details so anyone else who has been duped does not have to order them from Fox. I wonder if you actually get both a tip and butt section with their new pike rods, I for one will not be purchasing one to find out!!!!! Long live Daiwa, Shimano, Maver etc. and all the other tackle companies I've found reliable.
