Hi all,

does anyone remember the Fox Evolution Carp Rods from ca. 2000/2001? I bought a set of 3 back then (in 12ft/2.5lb), the guy in the shop told me that they were built with Harrison blanks? Since then I've always wondered if that is true, can someone maybe confirm this? I absolutely love them for my light fishing, unfortunately I don't have much opportunity here at the moment.

Old mate of mine who's passed away now had a set they were in as good a condition as the ones you've linked, I'm pretty sure he said they were built on Harrison blanks.

They look great.

They were the rods i always wanted when i was a teenager just getting into carping when they came out.

I had a few sets back in the day, I really liked the 12'6 2.75 ‘s that I had, I was my belief they were Harrison blanks.

Not long ago I saw a set rebuilt by some European rod builder and they looked amazing with the original writing on the rod retained with chevron wraps either side, the rest of the blank stripped to raw carbon and split dark burl grips.

Yes 100% Built on blanks supplied by harrison

Do you maybe know which specific blank it was? Or were they custom blanks for Fox?
