A few options here John.

Don't skimp on the marker rod. buy a purpose built rod. I think the Fox one is about £80
I used a Dragon Carp rod for spodding (£10)

Alternatively use one of your carp rods as a marker rod, and mark your line. Or use the spod on the spod rod as a marker.

They were about £20 dearer than the Fox ones Cakey. But with the Greys you get a lifetime warranty. Worth thinking about.

Chub do a fantastic Spod and Marker rod set up I have been using a pair now for many motnths and they have worked really well. They are 12' 2 peice rods with Ceramic lined eyes and a short abbrevaited butt. They retail at around £69.00 and bet of all they come ith a life time warrenty. very good rods.

As for reels the Shimano Navi XSA is a very good work horse and is very good value for monie at aroung £69.00 or so

I got the rod from Mullarkys. They might still have them on offer. I think it was 2.5 test curve. Good enough for a pocket rocket at 60 - 70 yds anyway. You could even use one for a marker float. In fact I use mine as a second marker float rod now. Once you have found your spot with the first marker rod, it is best to leave it there and have a cast around it with the second marker rod. It's much easier to plot the area like this.
