Fox Horizon X5-S Fishing Pole 3.66m

Fox Horizon X5-S 3.66 m Full Shrink — Precision Carp Rod for Confident Long-Range Casting

The Fox Horizon X5-S (X5 Series) Full Shrink is a 12 ft, 3.25 lb test curve carp rod engineered around advanced carbon fibre technology — delivering a blank that is stronger, lighter, and thinner than conventional builds, without sacrificing feel or fish-playing ability.

Carbon Fibre Construction Built for Distance and Accuracy

The blank is formed from multiple layers of carbon fibre laid in multi-directional orientations and bonded through electrodes via nanofibres, with an interlaminate weave and a 1K carbon mat finishing layer. All spigot joints are reinforced with additional carbon fibre wraps, ensuring the rod maintains its progressive action through every cast. The result is a fast-recovering blank that helps you cast further and place a rig more accurately, session after session.

Balanced Blank Action for Confident Carp Control

At 375 g and a 3.25 lb test curve, the Full Shrink handle version offers a balanced combination of casting power and an excellent through-action for playing fish. Whether you are extracting a carp from a snaggy margin or keeping steady pressure on a fish running in open water, the rod responds smoothly and keeps you in control throughout the fight.
