Reel seat: The part of the handle that your reel attaches to. Almost all UK coarse rods have screw-down reel seats, where the fore-grip on the handle rotates and closes the seat to hold the reel in place. Thankfully, with the rod’s help, I managed to convince the fish that charging into the lily pads wasn’t the best idea and it was soon safely in the bottom of the landing net. If you're in the market for a spod fishing rod that can also function as a marker rod, you might find rods with depth indicators on the blank beneficial. Such rods can accurately measure water depth and provide a feel for the contours of a water-bed. This sort of feature finding can significantly enhance your carp fishing experience.

The best Carp rods for distance fishing is often a feisty debate. This Carp Rod and reel combo offers unparalleled power and choice and should no doubt have more or less a unanimous agreement with the quality they both provide. 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. 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.The truth is that on most waters in this country, except for the largest of venues where fishing at extreme distances is called for, big-pit reels with huge spools aren’t really necessary. Daiwa have a great reputation for producing top-notch rods and the infinity range is both famous on the Carp fishing circuit for absolute quality. This is the big bad boy of the test. It’s easily the heaviest combination we tried out, but will cope with the biggest of Spombs and spods with ease. A true distance tool, the XSM also doubles up as a fully functioning marker rod, so bear that in mind when you look at the price. It is fair to say that we would not recommend this to a newcomer to the world of spodding because they might not be able to get the most from it, but it is fun trying to get there! If you are an experienced caster and look to push the boundaries then this is the one for you.

Ask any master of his craft what he looks for in his tools and chances are he will give you a range of answers. Some will say they use the cheapest, others will say they prefer quality, and still others will say a mixture of the two. Being a master of your craft is all about balance.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 View the best Carp rod and reel combo as two sides of the same coin. They are yin and yang. One cannot shine without the other. You can have the best action, premium grade, all singing and dancing, designer rod (with the brand and price tag to match). But if it is paired with a reel that simply doesn’t match it, then it just won't work for you. 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. To ensure your kit stays protected, some of our sets include a hold-all – perfect for safe storage and effortless transit. We've thought of everything, so you can focus solely on perfecting your cast and landing that trophy carp. Top-Quality Brands and Seasonal Selections Spending fortunes on the lightest possible rod, only to have it feel like you are holding a broom handle because you have gone for a reel that is too big or too heavy is also only going to hamper your efforts.

What you want to be able to concentrate on is catching fish. Nothing else. If your arm is tired because your Carp rod and reel combo is mismatched then that is going to distract from the enjoyment. For the purposes of this shoot, I’d arranged to meet our cameraman Lloyd at my local lake in Somersham, Cambs. However, every product has its downsides, and the Wychwood combo is no exception. The multi-disk drag, while versatile, might feel a bit different if you’re used to single disk drags. But don’t worry, a bit of practice, and you’ll adapt in no time.

This is a combo I’ve had a few sessions with, catching several carp to mid-doubles during evening trips of just a couple of hours. Blank: The hollow carbon fibre tube that the rod is made from, attached to which are the guides and handle. The low glare matt silk finish completes the outfit, leaving you with an incredibly elegant and attractive rod that performs like a dream. There are a few attributes that come together to make a good spod rod. These are as follows: Test Curve If you are fishing in water, say that its 6ft, 9ft or even 12ft deep, you are NOT going to be baiting accurately enough.
