This Horizon X5-S Abbreviated from FOX is an introduction to an updated and improved version of the incredible Horizon X5 rods. The X5-S rods feature the latest carbon technology for a stronger, lighter, thinner and more powerful blank. Multiple multi-directional layers of thinner carbon with nanofiber technology are electrically bonded during the manufacturing process. All crossing connections are reinforced with carbon. The X5-S blanks have superior recovery qualities, allowing for further and more accurate casting. Yet the drilling action remains unsurpassed. Thanks to the stylish Gunsmoke finish, these rods are in a class of their own!
