Century 12ft Mk2 SM (Spodding Marker) Spod Rod

As the Spod rod’s main function is to propel and not play – more emphasis and engineering can be placed on the casting side of the design equation. It is therefore possible to gain a degree of economy in the rod’s cost however there is no sacrifice in performance and the dynamics of a demanding cast and rapid retrieve rhythm – needed for effective spodding.

The 12ft Century SM is packed with power and internal carbon velocity accelerators that get the distance and enable a positive, quick return for the next cast. Repeat this scenario over hundred times during a full session and the virtues will be become apparent.

A Spod rod is one of the most vulnerable rods to test curve decay. You need the stability Autoclaving Technology brings to a composite structure to avoid the performance sapping stresses spodding can generate in an ordinary rod over a very short amount of cycles.

The Century SM is rated at a nominal 4lb Test Curve but the fluid J to C curve action is deceptive and it will easily handle spods from 3-8ozs.

An enhanced guide pattern features ceramic lined, powder coated, stainless steel rings commencing with a 50mm butt guide.
