keeno86 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hey guys, Anyone using the longbow df spod or the spod/marker version? I notice the dedicated spod is 4.5tc but the spod/marker duo is 4.25. I want to match my longbow rods but cant afford both versions atm, so i guess im asking what would you go for, the 4.25tc or 4.5tc. I doubt ill be trying to hit over 100 yards this year on the lakes ill be fishing. But really dont want to buy the 4.5tc and find its to heavy for marker work or get the4.25tc and find out its to light for spomb work. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

yonny Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 No such thing as too heavy for marker work IMO bud. I'd go with the broomstick. keeno86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpz_31 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 would have thought a stiffer rod would be better for marker work as it wouldn't soak up as many vibtations keeno86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno86 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Turns out i can now get both rods, or a dedicvated spod and marker. I would have gone for the 4.25tc spod and marker for marker float set up and the 4.5tc spod for spod set up. After reading the above im now thinking of going for 2 x 4.5tc rods. Nail biting stuff as i aint got a clue and ill be stuck with which ever 2 i choose to buy. any info lads, having a brain fart here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno86 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 In my head im thinking having the 2 4.5tc versions would be better, going on comments above and also that they should in theory reach the same distance and be the same to use. Also if i break a 4.5tc ill have another as back up for larger somb/smod. But the niggling thing in my head is why would they produce a 4.25tc version is the 4.5tc version was perfect for marker work aswell. I wish the tackle tart in me would do one so i wouldnt have to have the longbows spod/marker set up lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
