Fox Warrior ES Carp Rods

Fox Warrior ES Carp Rods

The Warrior ES continues the proven and incredibly popular Warrior series by providing an ‘entry level’ carp rod that offers amazing value for money and unparalleled performance.

Featuring an abbreviated handle which uses a combination of Duplon and shrink tube to create a matt, non slip central section, the ES has the stylish looks and performance which have become synonymous with the Warrior range.

Warrior ES 12ft - 2.50lb
The action of the ES runs through the tip and middle of the rod although under heavy pressure the blank will continue to bend right through to the butt without locking up. This marginally forward action makes the rod ideal for light bag and feeder work or coping with weed or snags at close range on small venues, but still makes the rod suitable for safely playing large, lively carp close in.

Warrior ES 12ft - 2.75lb
The action of the ES runs through the tip and middle of the rod although under heavy pressure the blank will continue to bend right through to the butt without locking up. This marginally forward action makes the rod ideal for distance casting and using PVA bags but still makes the rod suitable for safely playing large, lively carp close in.

Warrior ES 12ft - 3.00lb
The action of the ES runs through the tip and middle of the rod although under heavy pressure the blank will continue to bend right through to the butt without locking up. This marginally forward action makes the rod ideal for distance casting with leads up to 4ozs, PVA bags or small method feeders while still being suitable for safely playing large carp close in.

Warrior ES 13ft - 3.25lb
The action of the ES runs through the tip and middle of the rod although under heavy pressure the blank will continue to bend right through to the butt without locking up. This marginally forward action makes the rod ideal for distance casting with leads up to 4½ozs, PVA bags or method feeders while still being suitable for safely playing large carp close in.

Grey’s Platinum Carp Rods

Grey’s Platinum Carp Rods - £199.99

Mission impossible…. We’ve learnt a lot about the design and manufacture of fishing rods in the past 40 years. Yet still technology moves on increasingly fast and so do the demands of the modern day carp angler. Designing the ultimate carp rod is by no means a unique brief. But achieving it has always been thought impossible. At Greys we don’t believe in impossible- even if it does take nearly four years! All of our carbon technologies and expertise have been brought together and pushed to the limits. We have used some of latest technology available- such as Formula One racing carbons- advanced materials used in military components and Computer Aided Design such as Finite Element Analysis. This has resulted in the rod being lighter and far more responsive than any previous design. The power to weight ration has been increased immensely- yet still retains a soft fish playing tip but still with ultra-fast tip recovery at the end of a cast. Under compression- the tip has been cleverly engineered to transfer maximum energy into the power generating butt sections. On the bank- the work of the engineers is there to appreciate. For example- the 13’ model features a 20% step-up in power with recorded casting distances in excess of 250 yards! After a further year of vigorous testing by both man and machine- tournament casters & carp anglers- Greys are proud to give the modern day angler what they really deserve- the pinnacle of carp rod design. The Platinum: • Computer aided design blank • G-Lock™ reel seat - to eliminate reel twist and torque • G-Lite™ Ultralite SIC guides - for maximum tip speed recovery • Non-slip Japanese shrink wrap butt grip • Twin anodised & laser etched butt cap • Satin finish carbon blank • Carbon line clip • Unconditional Lifetime Warranty

The two thirteen-foot rods – one of 3lb test curve and one of 3.5lb test curve take the Prodigy to the ultimate level. These are supreme casters- capable of reaching two hundred meter mark. Yet- they retain the versatility common to all the Prodigy range. You’ll find that the Prodigy 12’ 2.5lb rod is perfect for UK carping. However- move to the 2.75lb or even the 3lb test rods and you do have power in reserve for longer casts- snag fishing- big method feeders- big leads and heavy PVA bags. The 12’ 3.5lb rod and the two 12’6” models are all about distance - with colossal casting power. And if you need more power then look no further than the two 13’ Prodigy rods we’ve just introduced.

Grey’s Spod Rods

Grey’s Spod Rods - From: £89.99

Greys' Spod rods are now a common part in a carp angler's armoury and enable the angler to bait up well beyond catapult range. Neither rod features a test curve due to both rods ability to cast all spods on the market. This is achieved by each rod having a progressive power build-up within the blank. A lot of spod rods are so stiff it's virtually impossible to pull the tip round 90 degrees yet they are still rated with test curves! It's vital that the blank is progressively compressed by the spod in order for the rod to work properly and propel the spod into the distance.

The standard rod is ideal for mini rockets to large spods and is able to cast distances up to 80+ yards. The distance version is ideal for large heavey spods or when you're wanting to fish at distances of 90+ yards. Wet baits- big distances and large spods are what this rod is all about. There is a huge amount of power between the handles - compress the tip and release the power! Progressive power built into blank

Both Rods feature:
- SIC rings compatible with braid or mono
- Fuji NPS 20mm reel seat capable of taking all big pit reels
- Laser etched butt cap

TREVS PRICE:
£89.00 - Standard Spod

Fox Warrior Marker Rod

Fox Warrior Marker Rod - £54.99

With a powerfully deceptive butt, this rod has been designed to allow you to cast a marker float to the maximum distance possible coupled with an ultra fast tip action which ensures maximum sensitivity for detecting features over very long distances. To achieve its maximum potential, the rod should be used in conjunction with a braided line like the Fox Explorer braid with its low diameter and zero stretch to enable the user to feel the vibrations caused by dragging a lead across the bottom of a lake.

Constructed from a slim blank, incorporating Fox Sliks, starting with a 40mm butt ring stepping down in size to its 12mm tip ring, the handle comprises of a DPS 18 style reel seat trimmed with Gunsmoke anodized collars, a special ‘non slip’ textured coating which is trimmed with a short shrink tube butt grip and two depth whippings identifying both 6” and 12” intervals to help you measure off the depth when letting your marker float rise to the surface.

Fox Warrior Spod Rod

Fox Warrior Spod Rod - £54.99

Boasting a full 5 1/2lb of power, the Warrior Spod rod has been designed to cope with the stress and strains associated with the constant casting of fully loaded spods which may weigh up to 8oz/225g.

The construction is classy, yet understated featuring an abbreviated handle with DPS 20mm style reel seat that will allow you to use the largest of the 'Big Pit' type reels for distance casting. Trimmed either side by two Gunsmoke anodised collars and whipped with 3 Legged Fox SLIK guides, these start with a 40 mm butt ring which perfectly 'irons out' the coning from a large diameter spool, reducing contact friction which can otherwise reduce distance, ending with a 16mm tip ring to ensure that your Shock Leader knot passes through without fouling even if it picks up weed or debris. Finally, the handle includes a special ‘non slip’ textured coating which is trimmed with a short shrink tube butt grip.

Designed to allow even the average angler to comfortably achieve a good distance without having to worry about overloading the rod, a minimum of 15lb mainline for general use is recommended or for those who are looking to achieve maximum distance, you should drop down to 10lb mono. In either case, it is very important that you use a shock leader, so we’d recommend you incorporate a 15lb/45lb Tapered Shock Leader for ensure maximum range with minimal resistance!

* 12ft - 3.6m length

* 5.50lb test curve casting weight

* 5oz optimum casting weight

* Abbreviated EVA handle

* Non slip "x-weave" handle

* 20mm Lightweight graphite reel fitting

* Three legged lined guides
