I have been asked, by Duncan at the Tackle Fanatics shop in Chessington, if I would like to do some testing of the Fox Warrior range of tackle. This has been developed between Tackle Fanatics and Fox themselves.
Oddly, I had been thinking it was about time I updated my rods. Tackle Fanatics thought it would be a great opportunity for me to do some testing. After a few emails and a phone call, it was all was sorted and a date for the delivery was fixed. Sure enough, bang on time, the delivery van arrived and I slowly opened up my parcels.
Fox Warrior + Full Cork x 3 Carp Rods
Fox Warrior + Marker Spod Duo (S&M) – 4.5lb
Fox Warrior + New Version Landing Nets
This is an absolutely splendid set up. I just loved the look and feel for the tackle. I can’t wait to get back down the lake and put them through their paces over the coming weeks. Unfortunately for me, with family things on this weekend, I am going to have to wait until next Tuesday night – as you all know that is a long tine for me!
All rigged up and ready for some testing next week

About richardhandel
I would like to give a brief snap shot of my life and introduce myself;
My name is Richard Handel and was born in 1965 in Suffolk. I have worked as a UK Operation & Intermodule Manager for a shipping company. I live in Hampshire now and am married with 2 young children, both girls so I am a bit outnumbered even the cat is a girl!
I have been fishing since I was about 7 years old. I started on small local rivers in Suffolk, then moved onto gravel pits and then carp fishing. My personal best is a 39.08 mirror, over recent years I have started river fishing again, on the Hampshire Avon, this is a nice break from the carp lakes.
My life has turned a big corner this year, the company I was working for relocated their Operation centre to Estonia. I was offered a job at the head office in London. This would have meant a 5 day commute and working in Stratford. As a family, we did not fancy this, as I would hardly spend any time with the children (and the Mrs). So after 22.5 years, I was given a nice redundancy package and with my wife is working full time. I became the house husband.
This has meant a complete turn around in my fishing, as I can pick and choose when I go. I have found a splendid new syndicate to fish this year, which includes 5 lakes and some 8 miles of river with only 150 members. It's an amazing change to the way I am able to fish.
I am now trying to start my own tackle business and make a bit of a name for myself in the world of fishing, as I have retired from real work.
