A major new Fox product launch
Fox International once again introduces a substantial series of new products for carp anglers. This time, the launch ranges from complete shelters and new carp rods to chairs, bivvy lighting, bankware, clothing, and smart accessories for transporting your gear.
A large part of the new products falls within the EOS series. The focus is clearly on practical gear with a sharp price point. Additionally, the Horizon X4 series gets a new version, and the Black Label range is expanded with various new and returning products.
For carp anglers who want to renew or expand their gear, there is quite a lot to discover. The new products from this Fox launch are already available to order at CarpCentral.
Fox EOS Pro Bivvies now also in Fox Camo
The EOS Pro Bivvies were already available in khaki and, according to Fox, are now widely used by carp anglers looking for a complete shelter without immediately going to the highest price segment.
New is that both the single- and double-person versions are now also available in the well-known Fox Camo.
The bivvies are made of 100% polyester Fox Camo material with an 8,000 mm water column. The dark inner layer helps limit light entry and can make the inside of the bivvy more comfortable when the sun is shining on it.
Both models have a fan-out frame, a spacious front canopy, a ventilation opening with mosquito netting at the back, and shaped corner joints that keep the frame neatly aligned.
The letterbox door can be used with mesh, transparent PVC, or a fully closed panel. Additionally, the entire front can be rolled up if you prefer to fish with an open shelter.
Stormpoles, groundsheet, sturdy pegs, and a carry bag are included as standard.
Fox EOS Pro Brolly System
Besides the full bivvies, Fox introduces the EOS Pro Brolly System. This system is mainly aimed at beginner carp anglers, younger anglers, and anyone looking for a practical shelter without unnecessarily complicated constructions.
This brolly is also made of polyester with an 8,000 mm water column and features a dark interior.
The frame consists of strong steel oval poles. At the front, there is again a letterbox door with integrated mosquito netting and the option to use a PVC or fully closed panel.
If you want to fish as open as possible in warm and dry weather, the front can be rolled up.
With a specified weight of 7.7 kilograms, the system remains relatively manageable to carry. Fox supplies it including rod strap, stormpoles, lightweight groundsheet, and pegs.
Extra space with the EOS 2 Person XL Bivvy
For carp anglers who mainly seek plenty of space, Fox presents the EOS 2 Person XL Bivvy.
This larger version is based on the existing EOS two-person bivvy but offers clearly more internal space. There is room for two XL bedchairs, extra luggage, and more headroom.
The shelter uses a traditional three-ribs pram hood construction and has a substantial peak at the front for extra shelter.
Here too, you get the familiar letterbox door with mesh, PVC, and solid options. A lightweight groundsheet, sturdy pegs, and a carry bag are included.
For this XL bivvy, an optional overwrap is also available. This allows you to create a twin-skin setup, which can help with insulation in winter, reduce condensation, and create extra storage space at the entrance.
New Fox EOS XC carp rods
Fox also brings news within the rod series. The EOS XC is the latest addition to the EOS range, focusing again on a combination of performance and an accessible price.
An important change is the use of lightweight ceramic guides. These ensure the line runs smoothly through the eyes.
According to Fox, you notice this especially during the fight, when fishing with a bait boat, and when casting at longer distances.
The blank is made from lightweight low-resin carbon and aims to combine a tight, responsive action with enough power for modern carp fishing.
The rods feature an 18 mm DPS reel seat, full Japanese shrink wrap handle, and a tapered butt grip.
The 12 ft and 13 ft models get a 50 mm tip ring. The 10 ft rods are fitted with a 40 mm tip ring.
The matte black finish with subtle olive green details keeps the look calm and recognizable.
Fox Horizon X4 Black
The proven Horizon X4 series also gets an update. With the new Horizon X4 Black, the appearance mainly changes, while the familiar features of the existing series remain intact.
The rods are built around a high modulus multidirectional carbon blank with a full 2K carbon weave.
This keeps the Horizon X4 Black light and crisp in character.
The new models are equipped with black anti-tangle guides, a Fuji 18 mm DPS reel seat, and a full shrink wrap handle.
The 10 ft models feature a 40 mm tip ring. The other versions come with a 50 mm tip ring.
The matte black blank and understated finish give the rods a distinctly different look without changing the original character of the X4 series.
Fox Camolite Guest Chair
A compact extra chair at the waterside is always handy. The new Camolite Guest Chair takes a well-known Fox chair design and gives it the full Camolite treatment.
The chair is light, compact, and easy to fold. This allows you to take it as an extra seat without sacrificing much space in your car or barrow.
The armrests are finished with EVA and the frame is khaki colored. The seat and backrest are made in Fox Camo.
A practical option for visiting your swim, but also for carp anglers who deliberately fish as compact as possible.
New Fox Halo 200C Bivvy Light
For bivvy lighting, Fox introduces the Halo 200C Bivvy Light.
This compact rechargeable lamp delivers up to 320 lumens of white light. That gives you enough illumination to tie rigs, search for gear, or rearrange the bivvy in the dark.
Besides white light, the Halo 200C has a red light mode. This is suitable when you want to use less bright light inside the bivvy.
The built-in lithium-polymer battery has a capacity of 1,500 mAh and charges via USB-C.
You can hang the lamp from the integrated loop or attach it with the magnetic base and included metal mounting plate.
Rear Wheel Conversion for Fox barrows
A fully loaded barrow can get quite heavy, especially during longer carp sessions. Fox therefore introduces a Rear Wheel Conversion to equip suitable barrows with rear wheels.
The fixed rear legs are replaced by rolling wheels. This should improve both stability and maneuverability when the barrow is heavily loaded.
The conversion kit is suitable for Fox Voyager, Explorer, and Transporter barrows.
Assembly is simple. The existing rear legs are removed, then the wheel tubes are slid over the frame and secured with thumb screws.
For carp anglers who regularly have to transport a lot of gear over longer distances, this can be an interesting upgrade.
Finally, a compact 5-liter Fox Water Carrier
Sometimes it’s the simple products that many carp anglers have been waiting for. Fox now introduces a green water container with a 5-liter capacity.
The size is deliberately matched for use with Fox barrows. This way, you can carry a smaller amount of drinking or utility water without needing a large water container right away.
For a day session, short overnight, or as extra storage alongside a larger container, 5 liters is a practical size.
Black Label Cam Lock Banksticks are back
Within the bankware series, a well-known Fox classic returns: the Black Label Cam Lock Bankstick.
The banksticks are made of black anodized aluminium with a knurled finish for extra grip.
The Cam Lock system allows for quick and secure length adjustment.
The Power Point versions have a screw-shaped tip that makes it easier to place the bankstick in hard ground. The accompanying T-bar is stored inside the bankstick, so you always have it with you.
There will be a standard 6-inch version and Power Point versions of 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36 inches.
Fox Stainless Auger for hard ground
For carp anglers who often fish on hard banks, Fox also introduces a separate Stainless Auger.
With this stainless steel ground auger, you can first make a pilot hole before placing a bankstick.
The aggressive screw tip has a diameter of 10 mm, creating a hole smaller than most banksticks, ensuring the final rest stays firmly in the ground.
The T-bar is stored internally and accessible by unscrewing the palm saver.
The bright orange palm saver stands out. Additionally, a small spirit level is integrated so you can accurately align the drill and ultimately your bankware.
Black Label Butt Cup for high rod tips
If you like fishing with your rod tips up, the new Black Label Butt Cup might be of interest.
This rear support encloses the butt of your carp rod and helps prevent it from being pulled out of the rest.
Inside, rubber ribs provide extra grip. The opening is angled so you can quickly grab the rod during a bite.
The Butt Cup features a drainage hole and stainless steel threading for long-lasting use.
Fox Collection Winter Suit
Although the latest products appear mid-season, Fox is already looking ahead to the colder months.
The new Collection Winter Suit consists of a jacket and salopette, designed for carp fishing in cold and wet conditions.
The suit has an 8,000 mm water column and a DWR/PVC treatment for moisture protection. The insulating filling helps retain heat.
The jacket has an adjustable and removable hood, zippered pockets, adjustable cuffs, and elastic adjustment around the hem.
The salopette features adjustable elastic shoulder straps, zippered pockets, reinforced knees, adjustable openings around the boots, and a two-way main zipper.
The Collection Winter Suit will be available in sizes S through 4XL.
New Fox women's clothing
The women's collection is also being expanded with clothing for colder conditions.
The Women’s Explorer HD Quilted Jacket is equipped with insulating filling, an adjustable hood, and elastic waist adjustment. A chest pocket and two hand pockets with zips provide space for small items.
Additionally, there is a Women’s Explorer Hybrid Fleece Jacket. This combines a padded middle section with soft fleece panels and fleece sleeves.
This jacket also features zippered pockets and adjustable elastics around the waist.
The women’s jackets are offered in sizes S through XL.
Three new Fox winter hats
The winter range is supplemented with three new headwear options.
There will be a Sherpatech Beanie in camo, a black HD Bobble Hat, and a green Trapper Hat.
Depending on the temperature and desired fit, you can choose between a traditional beanie, bobble hat, or a warmer model that offers more head protection.
Fox Classic Trainer
Finally, Fox introduces the Classic Trainer.
This is a low shoe for everyday use, both during a carp session and beyond.
The shoe features a padded ankle collar, padded tongue, and a cushioned insole. The emphasis is mainly on practical and comfortable use.
The Classic Trainer is available in UK shoe sizes 7 through 12.
What stands out about this new Fox launch?
The breadth of this launch immediately stands out. Fox doesn’t focus on one specific product group but renews almost all aspects around a carp session.
With the EOS series, new options come for carp anglers looking for practical and affordable gear. The EOS XC rods and new shelters clearly fit within that philosophy.
On the other hand, the well-known Horizon X4 series gets a new black edition, and the Black Label series is expanded with products for a neat and practical rod setup.
In addition, there are smaller items like the Halo 200C, 5-liter Water Carrier, and Rear Wheel Conversion, mainly designed to make life at the waterside just a bit easier.
