Looking to buy a decent dedicated marker rod. I've used the spod rod for everything last couple of years but I want a dedicated marker. Either second hand or new, what would you recommend ?
What's your budget? High end, look at Harrisons torrix or aviators, I have torrix spod and markers in 12fts and aviator spod and markers in 13fts.

I used to have marker rods but found the spod rods better, the extra stiffness helps get a better feel

If you really want to feel what's down on the lake bed stop using the rod tip. Point the rod straight at the lead/float and full the braid through the rod rings with your fingers. Try it, the difference is massive.
This means you can use any rod that can get the lead/float out there.

I've always preferred 2 spod rods. Once markering is done you can have 2 spod rods set up clipped to different spots.

I use the tip but always hold the braid as I agree you get so much more feedback than relying on the tip
