Fox's new must-haves for this spring
March and April are dates to stick in your diary as ‘new drop’ months – the time of the year when brands release their creations for the year ahead, and first up is our favourite maker-of-everything: Fox
Multi Chod & Zig Bin
Fox: the brand you visit for the best line of bite alarms. The brand you go to when you need the ultimate in bankside sleeping. The brand you tap up for some of the finest end tackle around. And now, to compliment their epic tackle box range, Fox have launched this purpose-built storage solution for all your Chod and Zig Rigs.
Unlike other Chod/Zig storage devices, Fox’s isn’t just compact but it’ll actually aid your rig tying! It comes supplied with six discs, two of each size: Small, Medium and Large, with the latter being perfect for storing Zigs on. It also helps to measure the length, as one wrap is 0.5ft, therefore two wraps of the disc equals 1ft.
The discs can be removed from the main shaft and further discs are available to purchase separately, meaning you can customise the bin to have the sizes of disc you prefer. The disc can also be used to help steam the perfect curve in your Choddies too.
“GIMME”: £9.99; spare discs: £2.99 per packet; foxint.com
Royale 13ft Tri Sleeve
Bent rings, chipped blanks and damaged line be damned. Store all three of your 13ft rods inside this sculpted rod sleeve and you’ll have none of the above issues. Along with comfortably housing big pit reels and 50mm butt rings, the Sleeve features an external pocket for your landing net and a reversible padded shoulder strap.
“GIMME”: £64.99
Weighing Tri-Pod
It’s easy to grasp why people love tri-pods: the convenience and precision of accurate weighing is a huge win. But where Fox win with this new addition which perfectly complements the recently launched Digital Weighing Scales, is with the price tag. The two-piece leg design means it’s compact, the wide footprint aids stability and it comes with its own carry bag.
“GIMME”: £32.99
Royale Barrow Bag XL
Inspired by you, this is the XL version of the original Royale Barrow Bag which you’ve been requesting for the past 12-months. Two external front pockets – the largest one holds a large Double Sided Fox Tackle Box – the smaller being ideal for accessories, such as scales. There are mesh storage side pockets, heavy-duty zips, adjustable straps and a moulded base and lid.
“GIMME”: £94.99
Torque Line
Sure, the price is brilliant, but this new all-round monofilament main line from Fox has a lot more going for it aside from its wife-friendly price tag. It’s remarkably abrasion resistant, meaning it’s perfect for snag fishing situations, and thanks to its incredibly high knot strength, it’s not going to let you down. Available in 11, 13, 16 and 20lb BS.
“GIMME”: £8.99
Royale 12ft 3-Piece Tri Sleeve
Planning on going all ultra mobile and urban? Along with your three-piece rods (for example: Fox’s Warrior S 3-Piece), you’ll need this: a sleeve which offers the ultimate when it comes to protecting your three rods. Along with the internal padded dividers, it’s been sculpted to accommodate big pit reels and there’s a pocket for your landing net.
