Shimano TX Plus Spod & Marker 2pc

Shimano TX Plus Spod & Marker 2-piece Spinning Rod combines excellent value for money with powerful performance, making it suitable for casting spods of all sizes without lacking power. When used with a marker float, the large tip ring enhances sensitivity, making it more accurate to detect underwater features.

This rod is the perfect choice if you are looking for a powerful spod and marker rod without the high price tag often associated with premium performance. Unlike many rods in this price range, the TX PLUS provides enough power to cast the largest spods while maintaining the sensitivity and finesse that make it an excellent marker rod.

To improve accuracy with a marker float, the blank features depth marker wraps. While this model is not the longest casting rod in the series, it offers an excellent combination of performance and value. The full carbon blank is reliable and allows for precise bait placement at surprisingly long distances, and the strong Seaguide SiC guides withstand repeated casting with braided line. The large anti-frap tip ring also enhances feel when used with a marker float.
