Brandond98 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, I've just bought a 9ft wychwood utility rod and I think its use is a marker rod but I was wondering if I'd be able to use it to catch fish with. Thank you. Edited August 31, 2020 by Brandond98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 You could use just about anything to catch a fish, whether or not it will be good for it is another matter, if its a utility rod then it's probably branded as a spomb/marker rod to have one rod that is suitable for both uses, personally I think it may be quite stiff for use as a fishing rod and would guess the test curve is about 3.5lb to 4lb, I probably wouldn't if I didn't have to. but if needs must its a rod that will handle casting OK, I would play fish very carefully though as you may find you suffer hook pulls as it may be quite stiff Hope that helps 👍 emmcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Bobbins Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I have a 10ft riot utility rod for marker/spodding, it does a great job for both of those jobs... Why do you want to use it to catch fish with? That isn't what it was designed for, I think they're about 4.5lb TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry,jones Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 yeah why not catch fish with anything like was previous said wouldnt use it if i didnt have to but if caught in a pinch then why not think id be more inclined to use for cats maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
