Spod and marker rods are the working tools a carp angler uses for accurate baiting and feature finding. In this group you will find dedicated spod rods, marker rods and combination rods that handle both tasks. The right choice depends on how much bait you put in and how light you want to travel.






































A spod rod is powerful and stiff, so a full spod flies a long way cast after cast. When you are baiting heavily, for example with particles and pellets at the start of a long session, a dedicated spod rod saves your fishing rods and your arms.
A marker rod is more sensitive, and through it you feel what the bottom is like. By dragging the lead slowly across the lakebed you find gravel bars, weed edges and changes in depth, which are the features carp often patrol and feed along.
A combination rod is a good answer when you fish short sessions or want to keep your kit light. You can map the swim and put the bait out with the same rod, simply by changing the end tackle between the marker float and the spod.
Load spod and marker rods with braid and a shock leader. That gives you clear feedback from the bottom and keeps heavy casts safe and under control, for you and for anyone else on the bank.
