Fox Horizon X6 - Ti 13ft 3.75lb Full shrink

A key point for us was to retain a high quality playing action, with these rods offering a subtle cushioning to ensure hook pulls are reduced. The American Tackle Ti-forged Pentalite Titanium anti frap guides are what we believe to be among the finest guides ever made. The pentalite ceramic centre is housed by a titanium frame creating an incredibly lightweight guide with the benefits of a traditional ceramic inner.
