Marker and Spod rods

Application Rods

The Revealer

Our marker and spod rods are without doubt some of the best available in the world today.

Our Revealer Rod in particular contains features found on no other rods on the market.

The Revealer is a unique and purpose built marker rod.
When we set out to build the ultimate marker rod, we sat down with a broad spectrum of anglers and discussed what requirements they thought were essential.
The culmination of these ideas is our new marker rod – ‘The Revealer’

For most specimen anglers, the marker rod is probably the most important tool in their tackle. Without knowing what underwater features lie beneath the waves, bait placement and even swim choice can be a lottery. Most lakes (especially where we are based on the CWP) have a huge number of differing features, some more obvious than others, some more productive than others. Finding these features can mean the difference not just between a blank day and catching, but between an average and an exceptional season.
The Revealer will help you to locate these underwater features with greater ease than ever before.
Features of The Revealer include

Stiff tip to aid feel through your braided mainline
4.25lb test curve with a progressive action, easy to wind up for a long cast
DPS reel seat to aid feel throught the blank
Painted tip to aid vision when pulling back
Your choice of 40 or 50mm ringing pattern
Depth markings at 6 inches, 1 foot and 2 foot to enable quicker plumbing

Of course, being expert custom builders, Cotswold Rods can alter these rods to suit you too.
If you would like your tip painted orange instead of white, or left black, no problem.We can use any reel seat option you like, as well as our recommended carbon seats.

Spod Rods

We offer a few different options:

Harrison Standards, Torrix or Chimeras, all great rods.

The real cream of the spod rod crop though is the new R1 Extreme spod rod. We had to develop this as our R1 range of rods was outcasting most spod rods on the market.

Rated at 4.75lb, it has a fairly soft tip, enabling easy compression and ease of use at all ranges, but as with our R1 range of rods, plenty of progressive power lower down when needed. If you are consistently spodding at 120+ yards, this is the rod for you.

All spod rods are built to take extreme loads and finished with a ‘bullet proof’ build. We can match them to your main rods if you desire.
