Billed as an ‘entry level’ carp rod by Fox, the Warrior S is look set to become another ‘classic carp rod’.
It looks, and feels, way more expensive than the price suggests – a good start to the review!
As we glide down the rod, we can’t help but notice how subtle and soft it feels it handles….
The Warrior S benefits from low resin carbon blanks resulting in an ultra light and very slim blank which would explain the delicacy.
Fox state this is the lightest and slimmest yet in the warrior range.
It also packs down into 3 sections, making transportation (and replaceability) easier!
