Free Spirit Launcher SPMD 12ft 50mm Braid Friendly

Free Spirit Launcher SPMD Rod | 12ft 50mm Braid Friendly Rings

The Free Spirit Launcher SPMD Rod | 12ft 50mm Braid Friendly Rings is a powerful, purpose-built spod and marker rod designed for anglers who require reliable casting performance, strength and control when working at range. Constructed from premium Japanese Toray 40T carbon, the Launcher SPMD combines a high-quality blank with a carefully selected component package suited to demanding spod and marker work.

The blank features a distinctive matt finish with a diagonal carbon woven pattern, giving the rod a clean, understated appearance. Free Spirit's discreet graphics are positioned on the underside of the blank and finished with subtle Grey/Platinum tipping, maintaining the refined styling associated with the brand.

A size 20 DNPS-style reel seat with black hoods provides secure reel mounting, complemented by black Acetile/Delrin reel seat collars and a matching butt cap. The abbreviated handle features shrink over an EVA butt grip, providing a comfortable and secure grip when repeatedly casting heavy spod and marker setups.

The rod is fitted with braid-friendly SeaGuide BXTRSG rings, making it particularly well suited to the braided mainlines commonly used for spodding and marker work. The six-ring configuration starts with a large 50mm butt ring, progressing through 40mm, 30mm, 20mm and 16mm guides before finishing with a 16mm anti-frap tip ring.

Integrated 1ft and 2ft depth markers provide an additional practical feature when marker work is required, helping anglers accurately assess depths when investigating potential fishing spots.

Supplied complete with a nylon rod sleeve, the Free Spirit Launcher SPMD provides a dedicated solution for serious baiting and feature-finding work.
