I have a Fox Horizon Titanium 12' 6" marker rod...It was recommended to me by Sam at Erics Angling in Leeds....He is a Century fan normally...I was a bit sceptical.but I took a look....still wasn't sure....but when I used it....I was suitably impressed...casts miles and well worth the £70..BRAND NEW....not sure if there are any left tho'...
DOH....sorry guys lost my ability to read...lol....I use a Century M1 marker rod for my spodding...its perfect for light/med spods...if u need a heavy duty spod rod... the Century Spod rod takes some beating...:-)

Default 12'6 Greys spod

If your fishing extreme range or using heavy spod mixes get this one, if not go for the standard 12ft one.

This rod will take some proper compressing to use it as it is meant to be used, its a bit of a beast of a rod
