A good spod rod still needs plenty of action in the blank; especially the tip so it can be easily compressed making them more accurate at short to medium range as well as long range. However the action and blank weight required for long distance will normally be different from that required for short to medium ranges as they will require more weight or casting effort to compress the blank properly – essential for accuracy. For this reason we have more than one spod rod in each range, the exception to this is the Hi-'S' Spod Rod where the use of ultra-high modulus 40t Low Resin Carbon makes the tip very responsive but retains a stiffness in the butt to middle section aiding compression and making this tool a true multi-distance spod rod.
