Buy them at that price, they are the only torrix over 2.5yc I would have, had 12ft 2.75tc and 3.25tc and can't see why they were so popular.

The 12ft6inch torrix te's, take one with one of your reels and a few leads to somewhere you can give them a few chucks and see what you think, if they were being offered to me for that price in the condition you say I wouldn't hesitate.

Ok mate thanks for that, they really are a 9.5 out of 10 condition if not a 10 tbh, I'll be honest the only thing that I have hesitated I don't no how they would be for playing close in and also that they a few years old being told 3/4 years at the most but really haven't been used at all you can just by looking at them

Be fine mate. Good carbon will last an age if looked after. I'd rather have the power in reserve if needed than not have it there. They are pretty much top end rods if you don't get on with them you will get your money back at the price he's asking

I highly recommend the Fox Horizon x5's, their flagship rod, I have it in 12ft 3.25, it's a very nice looking rod with the K series ringing which I really like the look of, no big ugly branding, just just subtle black and grey.

Casting is lovely, I can cast them 30 wraps and I'm a very average caster, to play fish on is a delight, all round they're superb and within your budget too 👍🏼

Sorry mate but I wouldn't buy anything fox if you paid me, I have had to get some help from there customer service before which is the worst I've ever had to deal with!

I no the rods are meant to be pretty good but I only want freespirit or Harrison at the minute thanks for the time to tell me about them though mate

Have to agree with you. I really like my Horizon X5's, no complaints at all. However In my case at least I have to say their aftersales and customer support was appalling. Rude, obstructive and unhelpful. So £1000 worth of rods, no warranty, just as well there were no issues. I have no intention of replacing the rods as I like them very much but if and when it won't be Fox
