Fox 12000 XT Reel

Fox 12000XT Reel

Fox has been producing award winning carp fishing solutions since the 1960s and the brand is one of the biggest in Europe. If you’re looking for a top end carp reel then this Fox 12000XT is hard to beat – both in terms of quality of manufacture and technological ability.

Built from a magnesium base, the Fox 12000XT is an exceptionally rigid reel. Rigidity is one of the most important factors when it comes to reel body design, yet it is also one of the most overlooked. A rigid reel body keeps everything in place and ensures that the power you exert through the handle isn’t lost in unnecessary lateral movement within the reel. However, rigidity isn’t the only thing the magnesium body, rotor, and side plate have to offer. Magnesium is one of the lightest reel materials available today and this huge 12000XT weighs a mere 670g. For the size of the reel, and the power you are able to get from it, this is very impressive and ensures it will balance perfectly on any top end carp rod. Strong and hardwearing, magnesium offers the full package and makes an excellent base for an outstanding reel.

One of the other exceptional stand-out features on the 12000XT is its super slow oscillation. This ensures that you’re able to achieve a flawless line lay, making casting this reel a complete dream. Spring-loaded line clips allow you to fish comfortably with any line type and diameter, ensuring accuracy without damage. The gearing on the reel is made with Mesh-Tec, which ensures a perfect gear mesh every time. This aids reel power as it enables you to get a perfect traction with each rotation, as well as eliminating the risk of premature wear and tear on the gears from meshing incorrectly. 15 stainless steel ball bearings finish the whole outfit, giving you smooth fishing power that can last a lifetime.
