I know that its over budget a bit but the 13ft aviator spod is the best that ive used, by a considerable margin. I can spod at pretty big distances all day. Its fairly light, easy to compress with real back bone. Ive put a 5oz lead 197yds with one (4 casts over 190, the other 6 over 178) so you can imagine how far a spomb will go
Added bonus is that it'll match your rods!!

What's the catch with the FS CTX spod at that price? Is it heavy?

I can understand what you and Biggsy are saying about the Aviator spod but I really can't justify spending £350 on one.

Out of interest, how far have you put a baiting device with that rod?

I've got a 13ft fox xt, I can chuck a spomb beyond the range I can cast a rig, but feck me is it a pain to use
It's surprising how much heavier 5ozs feels on the end of a 13ft stick compared to a 12ft one

Understand that......
But think of the long term,Harrison rods won't let you down,and the guys who roll the blanks and assemble them are nearly all anglers.
Somewhere on internet there's a video guide round the factory,well worth watching,👍😎

I had a 13' XT for a bit, monster of a rod but as you say hard work, got rid and stuck with a 12 footer

I've got two of them I haven't cast in about 3 years
They are a tool for monster distances only, the trouble is only fished one water where I found those distances necessary, and I didn't really enjoy it
