FOX & FOX RAGE SPECIAL
Our pick of the latest goodies to hit the banks
FOX RAGE TR REELS
WHAT THEY SAY: The highest-quality reel Fox Rage has ever created is available in two sizes in the new TR series. There’s a 1500 size for light work and the 2500 ‘all-rounder’, both with features aimed at the lure angler. Both offer silky smooth rotation and retrieve, thanks to their 10+1 ball-bearing systems.
A low-profile, sleek bail-arm gives snag-free casting, and there’s a high-grip spool band for slip-free braid attachment, rounded off with a super-strong yet lightweight magnesium body.
WHAT WE SAY: Constructed using a carbon-reinforced rotor for increased rigidity even under heavy loads, this front drag reel has enough power to cope with big fish and big lures alike.
Price: £149.99 to £159.99, www.foxrage.com
FOX SUBMERGE ORANGE SINKING BRAID
WHAT THEY SAY: The bright orange colour of this braid offers outstanding visibility by day and night and is perfect for snaggy and weedy venues. Its tightly woven nature offers good abrasion-resistance, with virtually zero stretch. It shares the same incredible sink rate as Naturals Submerge braid, while its low diameter makes for better distance casting. In 0.20mm/35lb, 0.25mm/45lb, 0.30mm 55lb and 0.38mm/65lb breaking strains, on 300m and 600m spools.
WHAT WE SAY: The ideal mainline for bait boat fishing and heavy snag tactics when using strong leaders. The orange colour is ideal in multi-rod situations, as are its quick-sink characteristics.
Price: £39.99 - £74.99, www.foxint.com
FOX VOYAGER BIVVIES
WHAT THEY SAY: These two tall, one- and two-person bivvies are perfect for the angler who demands that bit of extra space and comfort.
Both have an extra-high frame to give additional headroom, in a classic two-rib pramhood design with an oversized peak for extra protection.
You also get a rigid 19mm aluminium frame, adjustable tension straps, front and rear mozzy mesh panels and a two-way letterbox-style door with three options – mozzy mesh, clear PVC and solid.
A rollable front creates an open fronted shelter for milder days, and a heavy-duty groundsheet and pegs come supplied in the oversized carry bag.
Available for both is an overwrap for extra insulation for winter warmth or summer heat protection, while a mesh inner dome protects from insects.
WHAT WE SAY: These bivvies are a great choice for taller anglers as they offer plenty of headroom and less back-ache from crouching to enter/exit the frame. The two-man version is ideal for those French trips.
Price: One-man £399.99, two-man £599.99; wraps from £299.99, inner dome from £99.99, www.foxint.com
