With the diversity of fish species available to fishermen in the UK, it is a real wonder why a vast number of us want to pursue the carp. All you need to do is a bit of research on this noble fish to learn that many cultures revere it. Actually, many Asain societies believe that the carp is revered. If you’ve ever had one of these hard fighting fish on your line, I’m sure you understand why! In my effort to outwit the wily carp, I’ve acquired quite a collection of carp fishing tackle. The Fox Stratos 12000e FS fishing reel is one that I’m especially partial to. Here’s the reason why.

Major Characteristics of the Fox Stratos 12000e FS Carp Reel

Part of Fox’s graphite fishing tackle collection, the Stratos 12000e was built to endure the rigidity of carp fishing. Fox asked one of their experts, Ian Chilicott, to go out and experiment with this reel. Astonishingly, Mr. Chilicott landed a 50lb conger eel! Equipped with Fox’s reliable free spool system, the 12000e has 16 ball bearings, and an oversized roller bearing for flawless performance, even with a big fish on the line. Its graphite body boast an innovative style, and the reel has a weight of 810g. The 12000e FS has a single handle, and the spool material is a durable alloy. It is equipped with a standard spool and also a continental spool.

Additional Details Concerning the 12000e FS Carp Reel

I especially appreciate the 12000e’s slow oscillation, a feature that ensures that the line wraps neatly around the spool. This way there is a minimum amount of friction when you cast which results in the improvement of precision and distance. The roller is a twist free one, and also the clutch is designed with a grit guard which helps to maximise functionality. It exclusive Mesh-Tech™ gearing system provides perfect operation. There’s also an anti-backlash system and a micro line lay adjustment. The clutch has 6 discs, plus the Magnetik™ lube system will keep this reel in high performance condition. The 12000e’s gear ratio is 4.2:1 and the reel has got 2 shims. The Fox FS (free spool) system instantaneously extricates the spool from the main drive, steadily giving line to a speedy carp. A micro-adjustment permits the fisherman to modify the tension. A range casting clip completes the many attributes. Expect to pay about £149.00 for this superior piece of fishing tackle.

Ending Thoughts Regarding the Fox Stratos 12000e FS Carp Reel

I started thinking about a few of the features of this fishing reel, so I checked into it. I found out that an oversized roller bearing is a crucial factor in any reel’s power. The 12000e’s roller bearing is equipped with eight very large diameter stainless steel rollers wrapped inside an especially tough glass filled nylon encasement. Supported by two large stainless steel ball bearings, the roller bearing gives the 12000e a remarkably smooth feel that makes retrieves effortless.

If you’re on the lookout for a full-featured piece of carp fishing tackle, be sure to consider the Fox Stratos 12000e FS reel.
