Fox Horizon Carbon Throwing stick 120cm 20mm

Fox Horizon Carbon Throwing Stick 120cm (20mm) Precision Long-Range Baiting

When you are targeting distant spots on large lakes and need to tight-feed small-to-medium boilies with pinpoint accuracy, standard plastic sticks simply wont cut it. The Fox Horizon Carbon Throwing Stick (120cm / 20mm) is a premium, high-modulus carbon baiting tool specifically engineered for serious carp anglers looking to maximize their distance and accuracy while eliminating arm fatigue.

At a massive 120cm in length, this extra-long throwing stick leverages a sweeping Cobra neck design. This specialized curvature accelerates the boilie rapidly as it rolls up the internal channel, generating incredible velocity and backspin for unmatched long-range performance. Despite its impressive leverage, the high-modulus carbon construction ensures it remains exceptionally lightweight. This significantly reduces the muscle strain and wrist fatigue that usually accompanies heavy baiting campaigns with plastic alternatives. To ensure total comfort and precision during repetitive throwing, it features an ergonomic, anti-twist hand grip that stays securely locked in your palm, even in damp conditions.

Where & When to Use

• Extreme-Range Carp Baiting: The definitive tool for big, open-water venues where you need to regularly hit distances over 100 yards with 15mm to 18mm boilies.

• Heavy Baiting Campaigns: Ideal when you need to introduce several kilograms of boilies quickly and accurately without wearing out your shoulder or wrist.

• Silent Bankside Tactics: Perfect when you want to establish a spread of boilies silently without creating the loud, repetitive surface crashing caused by heavy Spombs or baiting rockets.

Pro Tip from the Gerrys Fishing Team

The integrated bottom-loading port on this Horizon stick is an absolute game-changer for maintaining a fluid, high-speed rhythm. Instead of dropping a bait down the top nozzle after every throw, keep a pouch of boilies around your waist and load them directly into the base port using your non-throwing hand. This lets you keep your eyes locked firmly on your far-bank marker or horizon target, dramatically increasing both your baiting speed and accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use 15mm or 16mm boilies in this 20mm model?

Yes, absolutely! In fact, this 20mm model is the perfect choice for standard 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, and 18mm boilies. It provides just enough clearance for smooth travel without letting the bait rattle around too much, ensuring maximum velocity and accuracy.

How do I prevent my boilies from splitting in half mid-air during a hard throw?

Because high-modulus carbon sticks generate immense speed and centrifugal force, soft, air-dried, or freezer boilies can sometimes fracture. To prevent this, simply dunk the tip of the throwing stick into the lake or river water to wet the internal channel before you start, or slightly hydrate your baits in water prior to throwing. The thin film of water acts as a lubricant, reducing internal friction and stopping baits from splitting.

What is the purpose of the included EVA bung?

The anti-crush EVA bung fits snugly into the open top of the throwing stick when it is packed away inside the protective neoprene sleeve. Carbon tubes are structurally incredibly strong against pulling and throwing forces, but can be vulnerable to direct crushing if stepped on or trapped in a car boot. The EVA bung reinforces the tip, ensuring your stick remains in pristine condition during transit.
