The Tacklebox rods are very good rods,if you have any issues they will sort it out.Shimano will do a new rod in a couple of years,you will then struggle to get any spares if you broke a tipsection for example.I have the spod rod from The Tacklebox and it is superb

I have four of these rods. Can't be beaten for the price. Back up and customer service from the Tackle Box is 5 star.
Six months ago tried to buy a new tip for an X5 Horizon. Fox had recently launched the new X5 whatever. Reply was "we no longer manufacture that model, sorry for any inconvenience." no stock, no effort, no interest, lazy, couldn't care less numpties.
Tackle Box every time.

I've got 3 x 2.75 12 footers lovely playing rod but also casting as far as I could with 3.5tc 12.6ft CTX.

I chose to go over to Tackle box and give them a wiggle before I bought them and so pleased I did because I could hold a CFX in one hand and Harrison/free spirits. Everyone in there was top draw too
