high folks johns the name,just getting back into some pike fishing after 20 year lay off.
just moved back to scotland in january after 10 years in jersey then another 5 in dorset (near christchurch).
been carping for the last 5 years as its big down there.
done about a dozen short sessions on lanark loch this year(and let me tell you just for the record scottish carp fishing is a lot harder than down south,unless you count commercails)with just 1 carp and1 lost.

anyway was fishing barr head a couple of weeks ago and while casting caught a high bank and line snaped and lost the top section of my fox warrior xt 2.5lb tc .

problem is fox stopped making the xt and its part of my 3 rod set up .so (and i know its unlikley) if anybody knows of a spare top section or rod in the tc ,would be good to hear from you.
i tried emailing fox international but got no reply ,which is ashame because i use a lot of fox stuff including reels.

ps like the forum,sounds like a lot of decent lads on here.
