Andy Hull Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hi all, I have around £60 to spend on a rod. Can ask would you buy a spod or marker rod first, i know which i am going to buy (JRC Contact) so not so much which to get although i am open to other Ideas if there's any other brands i've missed in my price bracket? Also why you would buy which first? Thanks in advance. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Get the spod rod first buddy. It can double up as a marker. Or just use your carp rods to mark up. Andy Hull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just get yourself a spod rod mate, most markers are to soft and will never reach where your fishing. Think about what you've got to get out there, heavy lead and marker float. I use a spod for both and just wrap a white piece of insulation tape around the butt section a foot up from the bail arm.

Andy Hull Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thanks for the replies guys, I can't use my carp rods as a marker rod as i only use a 2.2lb tc rod for my carp fishing as i only fish smaller (upto 6acres) waters which arent that snaggy. I use Korum Twin Tip + rods, 2.2lb for carp and the 1.75lb for bream and tench. I'll get the Spod first as advised. Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
