INTRODUCTION

For the past 12 months Fox’s team of in-house CAD-engineers and leading

carp consultants have been working tirelessly to produce a new range of

Fox Carp Accessories.

Immediately you’ll notice the high-impact new packaging used throughout.

But this launch isn’t just about redesigned packaging. Within the vast range

you’ll be introduced to many new products designed to help you catch more ﬁsh.

Expect to see new items such as Fox Maggot Clips, Adaptive Camo Leadcore,

Arma-Mesh and Illusion Soft to name just a few. All products that are truly

different to anything currently available on the market.

We have also worked hard to improve products where possible, utilising camo

colours to further conceal our end tackle when in water. Take our new leads

and Safety Lead Clips, for example, that all now come in camo green and

brown colours.

Put simply, the new Fox Accessories will make a huge impact on your ﬁshing and

this book is designed to help you make the most of these accessories, with top

tips from our leading anglers to ensure you catch more ﬁsh than ever before.

Enjoy and good luck.

Whether a blister pack of rig beads or a

top of the range bivvy, each new item is

the result of exhaustive research and

development.

The Creative Team at Fox are the brains that

get the job of transforming ideas, coffee

stained sketches and primary school level

doodles into computer aided designs ready

for manufacture. Because Fox uses skilled

in-house CAD-engineers, changes to existing

products or new ideas can be transformed

into virtually complete designs very quickly,

often while consultants are still discussing

products around the table. All design work is

overseen inside Fox HQ, giving complete

control over the performance and quality of

a ﬁnished product.

Hands-on is the best way for anglers to

appreciate the beneﬁt of the highest quality

tackle. Fox puts maximum effort into show-

casing new and existing products, whether

at annual shows or our own Fox Experience

that offers the chance to see everything

from carp, sea, predator and match tackle

all in the same place. You might want advice

on bedchairs and bivvies, to spend time

casting spods and leads to see which rods

suit you or take advantage of our

consultancy team’s immense knowledge to

pick up the latest rig tricks and end tackle

advice. Fox recognise the value in giving you,

the customer, time to talk tackle and test

tackle before committing to buy.

At the sharp end Fox’s team of

consultants get involved at every stage of

product development, from concept through

to on-the-bank testing. Regular meetings

at HQ ensure feedback from samples is

collated and improvements or design tweaks

are suggested to guarantee that products

perform as well as possible.

Test periods for potential products vary,

from a few months for small items like

swivels and beads, up to 12-18 months for

more complex products such as reels and

alarms. Because of the sensitive nature of

product development many items cannot

be used on ﬁsheries where other anglers

can be aware of them, helping to keep new

items under wraps until ready for launch.

Not all new product testing is glamorous,

but must be undertaken thoroughly to

ensure the angler buys the very best

product possible. With new mainlines and

hook length materials, consultants might

need to repeat hundreds of breaking strain

and abrasion tests before their

performance is approved as satisfactory for

a new Fox product.

FOX PRODUCT

INNOVATION

RESPONSIBLE for more innovation in the

ﬁshing industry than any other company,

Fox International devotes huge amounts of

time and manpower to the development

of new products to ensure they are of the

highest possible quality and offer genuine

advantages to the discerning angler.

The ﬁrst company to produce purpose

designed bedchairs and chairs, Swingers

and alarms with drop back differentiation,

Fox products such as Easy Domes,

Microns and Stratos reels have become

internationally recognised as market

leaders.

The new range of Fox accessories go through months of thorough testing

before being launched into the tackle shop.

LINE CONCEALMENT

HOW obvious is your line to a carp? The

sight or feel of line running through a swim

is one of the biggest danger signals to ﬁsh,

especially on heavily pressured venues.

Appropriate choice of line and care taken

to conceal it from carpy eyes is a key factor

in bringing more bites.

TOP TIPS FOR CONCEALING YOUR LINE

strengths and accurate diameters.

Fluorocarbon has a light refractive index

close to that of water, making it much less

visible than more conventional monos.

Fox also leads the way in camouﬂage for

monoﬁlaments. Fox Soft Steel Camo is a

favourite for many carpers in the UK

and overseas. It features repeated camo

shades along its length to help break up

the continuous line.

Fluorocarbon reel lines have been the

biggest step forward in line concealment.

Fox’s Illusion is considered the very best

ﬂuorocarbon mainline available, being both

supple and easy to cast with genuine knot

Fox Downrigger Backleads work by a camoﬂagued

weight being attached to your mainline by a clip

that can be opened with one hand for ease of

use. If the lead becomes trapped in snags, it will

pull free, putting the angler back in direct contact

with the ﬁsh. It’s available in 21gr (0.75oz) and

43gr (1.5oz) sizes.

Fox Sliders are basically ﬂying ‘back leads’

aerodynamically designed to slide back up the

mainline during the cast to help pin down the line

whilst ﬁshing, reducing the chance of the line

spooking ﬁsh. They now come in camo green

and brown colours.

Follow our steps to better line concealment

and hopefully you will reap the rewards.

Captive Back Leads are a unqiue system from

Fox designed for the effective recovery of a Back

Lead. A hinged line gate releases on the strike,

with the Back Lead cord and winder attached to

the pod to aid recovery. They come in four sizes

- 35gr, 56gr, 84gr and 112gr.

Mould small slugs of Fox

High SG Tungsten Putty at

two feet intervals behind the

lead to help pin down line in

the area carp are feeding.

Here you can see how different types of mainline are seen when in water.

On the right is Fox Illusion, braid is in the middle with traditional monoﬁlament on the left.

The Fox Downrigger Backlead pins the mainline to the lake’s bottom. This drastically

reduces the chances of line being seen, or felt by ﬁsh in the swim.

RIG CONCEALMENT

HOW TO SPLICE LEADCORE

CARP have incredibly keen eyesight and in

strong light and clear water are able to

see the tiniest objects with ease. Well

concealed leads, end tackles and rig

components are an essential ingredient

for catching carp consistently - if a carp is

unsettled by the appearance of your end

tackle and rig components it’s unlikely to

stick around long enough to get caught!

outline and disguise terminal tackle.

Carefully chosen following exhaustive testing

from dozens and dozens of shades

available Fox rig bits are supplied in

translucent green and gravel brown

– simply disappearing when on the lake

bed whether over polished gravel bottoms,

amongst silkweed or in soft silt.

The acid test is to put your end tackle and

rig in the lake and have a look at it. Seeing

a rig disappear on the lake bed in front of

you does wonders for your conﬁdence!

Pull back the polyester outer and snip off around

8cm of the inner lead wire. Where the lead ends

and the hollow inner starts, push a Splicing

Needle into the centre of the polyester sheath.

Push the needle 1.5-2cm down the centre of the

polyester outer and then push the needle back out

through the side of the polyester.

Although there are times when carp are

nowhere near so reliant on their eyes such

as in coloured water, attention to detail

camouﬂaging rigs will always pay off in the

long term. The more effectively you conceal

tackle from wary carp the more conﬁdently

they tend to be in their feeding and the

more likely you are to catch.

TOP TIP

If you ﬁnd splicing Leadcore tricky, Fox

Ready Spliced Leadcore Leaders come

supplied with Ring Swivels at one end and

a spliced loop at the other.

Fox has developed Adaptive Camouﬂage,

which uses repeating colours to disrupt

Trim the end of the leadcore so the ﬁbres are

neat. Insert the end into the Splicing Needle and

close the lip to secure it.

Hold the section where the needle passes through

the centre of the polyester between thumb and

ﬁnger and gently pull the needle back, trapping

the end of the leadcore back through it.

Once the needle emerges keep pulling the tag

end until you begin to form a small loop. Keep

tighening until the loop is around 5mm. Trim the

excess leadcore tag.

To create the other end of the leader repeat the

process, threading a ring swivel on the leadcore

after the inner is removed and before the splice

is formed.
