Evening All

Treated myself to a set of Harrison Torrix Rods over Xmas and was just debating whether to upgrade my old Chubb Spod and marker rods with the Torrix Spod and Marker rods. I am looking for peoples honest opinion on whether these rods are any good? Or should I look at a different set of Harrison's for the job

Thanks in advance

Mark

I use 2 torrix spods , 1 set up as a marker with depth increments whipped on. Both do the job required well

So you bought 2 Spod rods instead of a separate marker and separate Spod rod?

No unfortunately not. Have never used a marker rod while fishing. Sorry I can't be any more help.

Buy just the spod rod and use that for marker work and spodding.I prefer to use my spod rod to find features as it's stiffer than a marker rod and you can feel more of what the lead is moving over.

I've got a Torrix spod and marker rod. Bought them when I had a set of Torrix TE rods built. I don't do a lot of spodding or marker work, but I wish that I had the marker rod built on the spod blank instead.

Save yourself some money and buy one spod rod and use it for both, big loop in the braid for swapping over instantly👍
