Hi,
Just looking for peoples thoughts on these rods. Not been out long (new versions) and I've pulled the trigger on some on the back of a local long range water where most people are using them.
Got a good deal from local shop and will be looked after by Fox if need be.
Question is what are they like at casting and playing fish under the tip?
Thanks
Neil

Just shock , awe, amazement, you've spent good money on rods used by several people on a lake you fish, and are then asking for evaluation on a public forum after the event. That horse has long left the stable. Hope they are everything you need them to be.

I never said the local water is one I am fishing.
Also this audience as you call it is much bigger than the few anglers using and loving the rods on the said water.
Not sure what value your comments brought to this thread so if you don't mind, do one!

Have you actually seen and played with the new 13ft X5s? I didn't think that they had been into stock yet?

Yes seen one in the shop and look and feel what I'm needing. Much better to hear it from people who have used them though.
Thanks for a sensible answer.

No need to use abusive language via PM, if you've no humour thats not our fault 
It is rather silly asking on a forum post-purchase. this site has been around a fair while and well known, I'd certainly be inclined to engage the grey matter pre-purchase of such expensive things, or at the very least, be prepared for toungue in cheek comments from an internet forum full of carp anglers lol

I would never buy a fox rod again,in a couple of years if you have an issue you will not be able to get spares.

So I see you can engage brain and write a serious answer.
All I'm looking for is opinions on an item of tackle. If you don't have one leave the sarcastic comments in the gutter and waste your own time not mine.

Hopefully I won't have them long enough before the next model comes out.
Going to abuse them for a couple of years and get rid. Fox life span is circa 5 years before new models come out according to my favourite NW fishing centre!
