Avid Carp VTX Bite Alarm | Single Unit Precision
The Avid Carp VTX Bite Alarm is a high-performance single unit designed for anglers who want to build a custom setup or expand their existing VTX system. At its core is the IQ-Sense Roller-Wheel featuring Bi-Directional Sensing, an advanced system that offers 8 levels of sensitivity. This technology is specifically designed to eliminate false bleeps caused by wind or water movement while accurately detecting both traditional runs and subtle drop-back takes.
At Gerrys Fishing, we recommend the VTX for its exceptional build quality and security features. Whether you are fishing a single rod in the margins or adding a fourth rod to your pod, the VTX provides the same elite-level detection and signal stability found in Avids full presentation sets.

Key Features & Technology

Multi-Light LED System: The high-visibility twin LEDs are fully customizable. With the press of a button, you can cycle through four colors (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue). It also features an optional night light mode for low-light visibility.
-
SafeGuard Anti-Theft System: When paired with a VTX receiver, this alarm acts as a security device. If the alarm head is powered off, the receiver sounds a warning alert, providing peace of mind during overnight sessions.

The Gerrys Fishing Verdict
The Avid Carp VTX Bite Alarm is a masterclass in modern bite detection. It offers the perfect balance of old-school dial adjustments and new-school digital sensing. The bi-directional sensing is a standout feature at this price point, providing a level of tactical information that can genuinely help you put more fish on the bank.
Gerrys Pro Tip: When mounting your VTX alarm, ensure the rubber washer is compressed firmly against your buzz bar. The rigid 3/8 no-twist thread is designed to be rock-solid, but that extra compression ensures the alarm wont rotate even if a fish takes off at a sharp angle
