It's not quite every year and they do start trying to shift them around March as the newer models used to come out around September time.They used to use the Tackle and Guns show as a release date to show them off

Looks exact like a Diawa reel. Well done fox with your CopyPasta, how pathetic, not surprising though given everything they churn out these days is just a poor imitation of some other companies hard work.

Looks nothing like a Daiwa reel,it's got the same back end as their 12000 mags.Daiwa changed the arse end on the basia,so did they copy Fox more than Fox copied them.

*******s have definitely copied them. I mean, it has a spool, a handle, a bail arm, and a reel body.

I actually think they look quite smart. Was hoping they might be light weight, but they are a similar weight to emblems etc

Meh. It's difficult to tell Fox and Diawa apart these days. I see Fox has snidded Shimano's X Ship logo right where Shimano put there's and Fox have mangled it up to look similar to Diawa's graphics.

A witches brew of poo...

Have you used any of the fx range,the fx9 and fx11 are very good reels.The price they sit at they are better than other brands in that price bracket

Fox were well known for using anglers as field testers. So these will soon be replaced by a Mk2 that may not fall apart after a few months .

Yeah, used a mates one, can't remember the model.

I've learnt my lesson the hard way buying Fox. They only make one thing very well and that's their buzzers and the only kit I'll ever buy with their brand on. I'm sure you and others will disagree with factoids and what have you, don't care, not my problem.

They did, but they need right handers doing the promos. Look so cack handed with tom makers left hand set up
