Fox Horizon X4 S Rod 2.44–3.05m 3lb

Fox Horizon X4 S — telescopic precision for mobile carp anglers

The Fox Horizon X4 S 8–10ft 3 lb combines ultra-high-modulus carbon construction with full retractability, delivering a crisp, responsive blank that packs down to just 125 cm for maximum portability without sacrificing casting performance or fish-playing control.

Lightweight, crisp carbon blank for accurate casting

Built from ultra-high-modulus carbon with a full 2k weave wrap and multidirectional carbon cloth layup, the X4 S blank resists twist during the cast and recovers quickly under load. The result is a lightweight rod that delivers long, accurate casts and confident fish control even when playing hard-fighting carp at close to medium range.

Premium Fuji components and refined details

Fuji's 18 mm DPS reel seat locks your reel securely in place, while anti-tangle guides with ceramic inners (40 mm butt to 16 mm tip) reduce friction and protect modern braided and mono lines. Gunsmoke fittings, understated whippings, a stunning gloss finish and full Japanese shrink-wrap handles complete a rod that looks as good as it performs.
