Spod & Marker Rods

Advantages of Using Spod & Marker Rods

There are many reasons you might want to use spod and marker rods for carp angling. The spod allows for better control over bait distribution, creating a targeted fishing zone for accuracy. It can take various types of bait and can save you money on bait thanks to its targeted placement. 

A marker rod gives you the ability to effectively gauge water features such as depth, drop-offs, weed patches and more. 

Because of their weight, spods are great in situations where you’re battling strong winds, as well as when you’re targeting a specific spot. Marker rods are ideal if you’re fishing in unfamiliar waters, or a known weeded area where you need to find gaps to cast into.

Remember, though, your rod needs to be paired with the right reels and accessories for your perfect setup. 

Pro Tips for Using Spod & Marker Rods Effectively
