Marker & Spod Rods


fishfinder

Recommended Posts

I need a marker and a spod rod but can't decide whether to buy a budget model or splash out a bit more. Can anyone convince me that I need to avoid a budget model? i was considering, for both rods, either a Fox Warrior S, Korum, Sonik SKS or Sonik Sk3 XTR.

 

Any advice would be very welcome!

I got the Wychwood 4lb Spod a few years back and it's bombproof mate. It's also nicely actioned enough that it makes a very good long-distance pike rod.

 

Just about any rod should do for a marker though. It is just for flinging a few ounces of lead and a big float after all.

Any of the few you have mentioned will be absolutely fine mate. You want something nice and stiff for marker work... a rod with a soft tip tends to fold up too much and absorb a lot of the feeling you should be getting back through the blank.
