FOX CARP RODS

Warrior Elite

The Warrior Elite builds on the success of the highly acclaimed Warrior range, offering improved casting performance from low diameter, lightweight and powerful blanks.

With a carbon weave butt, the Warrior Elite offers fast, controlled recovery for accurate casting of leads or PVA sticks and bags yet retains a sensitive and responsive tip section to cushion hook holds when a carp nears the net.

Fitted to the highest standards with low profile SLIK guides and a CR18mm(CRD062), CR20mm(CRD63-65) reel seat to accommodate all big pit reels, the Warrior Elite has a matt carbon finish with minimalist styling and black whippings for looks that match its performance.

Aquos

The Aquos range is built on stunning looking ‘carpy’ olive green blanks which have superb actions suitable for use at just about any range. Designed as a general all rounder, the Aquos is equally at home casting leads well over 100yds, or catching carp right under the tips.

The stylish 1k carbon wrap gives the rod a ‘crisp’ yet progressive action which will absorb the power of the most stubborn big carp without the fear of hookpulls.

The 12ft 3lb test curve Aquos will cover ranges up to and well in excess of 120 yards with leads up to 4ozs. PVA bags and small method balls can be comfortably cast good distances, while the classic progressive action allows the rod to be safely used at close range.

The 13ft 3lb test curve Aquos is the ‘top gun’ of the range and features a specification that will handle all eventualities and cope with demanding big pit fishing conditions. A casting capability that allows leads up 4oz to be propelled in excess of 130 yards is morphed with a surprisingly responsive, progressive playing action while the extra length provides additional control over fish and better line pick up at range. Ideal for handling PVA bags and method balls.

The 13ft 3½lb Aquos features a specification that will handle all eventualities and cope with demanding big pit fishing conditions. A casting capability that allows leads up 4½oz to be propelled in excess of 140 metres is morphed with a responsive playing action, while the extra length provides additional control over fish and better line pick up at range.

The Twig has a 2¾lb test curve with a through action which is mellow enough to absorb the immense power of playing a carp at such close quarters while being perfectly up to the job of landing the fish once it has been hooked. The handle has been kept deliberately short to make the rod easy to wield in dense undergrowth and to push some length forward to enable baits and rigs to be placed accurately onto small marginal features.

Warrior Spod Rod

Boasting a full 5 1/2lb of power, the Warrior Spod rod has been designed to cope with the stress and strains associated with the constant casting of fully loaded spods which may weigh up to 8oz/225g.

The construction is classy, yet understated featuring an abbreviated handle with DPS 20mm style reel seat that will allow you to use the largest of the 'Big Pit' type reels for distance casting. Trimmed either side by two Gunsmoke anodised collars and whipped with 3 Legged Fox SLIK guides, these start with a 40 mm butt ring which perfectly 'irons out' the coning from a large diameter spool, reducing contact friction which can otherwise reduce distance, ending with a 16mm tip ring to ensure that your Shock Leader knot passes through without fouling even if it picks up weed or debris. Finally, the handle includes a special ‘non slip’ textured coating which is trimmed with a short shrink tube butt grip.

Designed to allow even the average angler to comfortably achieve a good distance without having to worry about overloading the rod, a minimum of 15lb mainline for general use is recommended or for those who are looking to achieve maximum distance, you should drop down to 10lb mono. In either case, it is very important that you use a shock leader, so we’d recommend you incorporate a 15lb/45lb Tapered Shock Leader for ensure maximum range with minimal resistance!
