High-grade spod rods will usually feature a consistent action throughout their entire length. This characteristic enables the rod to efficiently distribute maximum power during the casting process, propelling the spod to greater distances while reducing resistance and inefficiency. Duel-Use With A Marker Rod No, you should choose a rod that best suits the distance that you want to fish at. A rod that is too long and powerful will make casting short distances with any kind of accuracy difficult. This is why all rod ranges feature models of varying lengths and powers. For spod work, your rod needs to cast significantly further than your fishing rods with a straight lead. This means that when you cast out a much heavier loaded Spomb, you can still hit the target with ease. The easier you can hit a spot, the more accurate you will be with your fishing.
Perfect for anglers that love spodding on the side of the main carp rod, the Greys GT2 spod rods comes from a versatile range of options to suit a variety of anglers whether you be stalking the margins or throwing heavy PVC bags a long distance.
Carp rods vary in length between 9ft and 13ft. At the shorter end of this spectrum, our 9ft and 10ft rods are easy to manage for precise casting when fishing in tight swims over short distances, so our 9ft and 10ft carp rods are the best choice for stalking carp from the bank from in between trees and brush, or when carp fishing from a boat to reach those otherwise inaccessible spots.
Despite all these attributes, there are a few points worth considering. Like most fishing gear, even though this combo is built to last, regular maintenance is crucial to maximise its longevity. Moreover, while the telescopic rod provides great portability, some may find it less sturdy compared to one-piece rods.

Being as expensive as the Daiwa setup we were expecting good things, and they delivered. The reel is among one of the smoothest on test and has a large tapered spool, which suited our casting styles. The rod is rated at 5.5lb test curve and was one of the most user-friendly in achieving good range but without having to have the ability to fully the laod the blank. From the stable that brought us the tried and tested Warrior carp rods, you can beat this one up on a regular basis but it won’t let you down when you need it. Overall I recommend the 3.25lb test curve version of the Infinity's to achieve the best balance with the Ultegra reel however, one either side of this test curve range will perform just as well. Bear in mind that there are other factors that can affect accuracy such as cross winds, undertow and how high above the ‘drop zone’ you cast to. Test curve (TC): Usually measured in pounds, it's the weight that needs to be applied to the end of the rod to make it bend over 90 degrees. The greater the test curve, the more powerful the rod. The rod loads across its whole length, which results in a good cushion for hookholds and enables the rod to absorb any sudden lunges under the rod-tip when you’re about to net a fish.
The overall best Carp rod and reel combo is the Daiwa Infinity X45 rods and the Shimano Ultegra 14000 XTD reel. Blank: The hollow carbon fibre tube that the rod is made from, attached to which are the guides and handle.A significant amount? What are we talking about? Easily over 5oz! and more than often more. These weights are traditionally what you will see when sea fishing, not carp fishing!
