The new Warrior S range, although set at an entry level price, most certainly do not have an entry level look or feel and they too have benefitted from our use of low resin carbons with the result being the slimmest and lightest Warriors yet.

Demonstrating a progressive through action the rods have a classy matt finish - although a special gloss finish is available on the 12ft 2.75lb Euro model – and the graphics are discreet with a gunsmoke butt cap and laser-etched Fox head adding a touch of real quality.

The now legendary Fox SLIK Guides are incorporated throughout the range with a 40mm butt down to a 14mm tip and there is an 18mm DPS reel seat with a reinforced steel collar screw thread to ensure a solid reel fit.

A joy to use and whether you select the full cork handle option or the abbreviated handle with the ergonomically tapered butt grip they are great all-round rods perfect for fishing PVA bags, big leads or method feeders and they are capable of delivering all you ask of them and more – with the 13ft 3.5lb test model a cracking distance casting rod at a Warrior price.
