Fox Horizon X5-S 3.66m Full Shrink — Precision Casting Power for Carp Anglers

The Fox Horizon X5-S Full Shrink is a 12ft (3.66m), 3.5lb test curve carp rod built for anglers who demand distance, accuracy, and a composed fighting action from a single blank.

Fast Recovery, Greater Distance and Accuracy

Constructed from pure carbon with multidirectional woven nanofibres, an interlaminate weave, and a 1K carbon mat, the X5-S blank loads and recovers rapidly. That fast recovery translates directly into longer, more precise casts — an advantage whenever you need to reach showing fish or hit tight spots at range.

Refined Fighting Action and Quality Fittings

Despite its casting credentials, the X5-S delivers a smooth, progressive fighting curve that keeps pressure on the fish without risking hook pulls. Reinforced power spigot joints keep the two-piece blank locked solid under load. Hardware is equally considered: a Fuji 18mm DPS Gunsmoke reel seat and Anti-Tangle K-Series Gunsmoke rings reduce line resistance and tangling on the cast, while the full shrink handle keeps weight down at 274g.
