Not sure it's that long to be honest,if you are only having them for that reason then you will be fine.I know some of the new range were having issues with the reel seats coming loose,water was getting underneath and causing them to move

A lot of pigeon chesting from someone who signed up with a fake name
Maybe engage your brain prior to purchases 🤙🏾

It really wasn't worth a reply, I wouldn't bother in future.

A good mate has them. They're nothing special and i wasn'timpressed. My tired old treb lites are softer in the tip and i cast them about 30yds further when we compared.
Fox arent a rod or reel builder. There are companies that specialise in these things, buy a better product from them at a similar price

That would be my advice too,but if he only wants them to abuse them for a few seasons then should be ok

Try them out, you might love them. It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks if you like them.
If you hate them then maybe fox will ‘look after you' with a refund.
The fox guys I've seen do genuinely use fox rods and reels, and some of them can fish a long, long way. They can't be that bad.

That was the original X5 mate, and the only model I personally saw this on was the 12.6 3.5.

I repaired a x5 spod rod for a mate last year for the water ingress issue, the arbours they use are cardboard tubes with very minimal epoxy so they weren't sealed essentially therefore the cardboard had turned to mush.
