Fox Horizon X5-S Fishing Pole 3.66m

Fox Horizon X5-S 3.66m Full Shrink — Precision-Built Spod & Marker Rod for Serious Carp Anglers

The Fox Horizon X5-S Spod/Marker (Spod and Marker) rod in the Full Shrink handle configuration delivers the blank performance and component quality that dedicated carp anglers demand for accurate spodding and precise marker work at range.

Advanced Carbon Blank for Distance and Accuracy

The Horizon X5-S blank is built using multi-directional carbon fibre layers bonded through nano-fibre interlaminates and reinforced with a 1K carbon mat. This construction produces a blank that is remarkably slim and lightweight at 418g while remaining exceptionally powerful. The fast recovery action translates directly into longer, more accurate casts — essential when placing a spod or marker float on a precise spot.

Purpose-Built Fittings That Last

Fox has equipped this rod with a Fuji 18mm DPS Gunsmoke reel seat for a secure, rattle-free connection to your spod or marker reel. The anti-tangle K-Series Gunsmoke ring set, graduating from 50mm at the butt down to 16mm, keeps line flowing cleanly under the repeated heavy loads of spodding sessions. Reinforced power spigot joints add durability at the connection point between sections, where stress is highest.

Choose the Right Variant

The Fox Horizon X5-S range covers a range of test curves and handle configurations. Each shares the same 3.66m (12ft) length and carbon blank platform, so your choice comes down to casting weight and grip style.
