Century MK2 12ft Custom Spod / Marker Rod Abbreviated

The Century MK2 12ft Custom Spod / Marker Rod Abbreviated is a precision-built application rod designed for accurate bait delivery and detailed feature finding on UK carp waters.

Engineered to handle small to medium-sized spods while retaining a responsive tip for marker float work, this versatile 12ft model performs optimally with a casting weight ratio of 3–6oz, making it ideal for the majority of modern carp fishing situations.

Designed for Controlled Power & Feedback

Based on the proven C2-D Spod and C2-D Marker platforms, the MK2 12ft version features a slightly lower diameter butt section. This makes the rod easier to compress, improving loading efficiency and control — particularly on venues where anglers prefer 12ft rods over longer 13ft alternatives.

The responsive tip section enhances sensitivity when plumbing depths and feeling for changes in substrate, while still maintaining the backbone required for repeated spodding at range.

Autoclave Cured for Long-Term Performance

Manufactured and Autoclave cured in Century’s UK factory, the blank is compressed under controlled heat and pressure to remove air from the carbon wall. This process:

• Increases structural integrity

• Reduces the risk of test curve decay

• Maintains casting performance over thousands of casts

• Ensures long-term durability

The result is a spod/marker rod that continues to perform like new, even under heavy baiting campaigns.

Modern, Durable Cosmetics

Finished to match Century’s modern carp rod aesthetics, the MK2 Spod / Marker features:

• 1k carbon butt section

• Full-length Japanese shrink rubber handle for superior grip and easy cleaning

• 1k carbon reel seat section with standard DPS hoods for maximum reel compatibility

• UD carbon tip with matt ground finish

• Century SiC size 50–16 guides
