Century Stealth Graphex Spod/Marker Rod | 12ft Full Shrink

The Century Stealth Graphex Spod/Marker Rod – 12ft Full Shrink is the dedicated baiting and feature-finding tool within Century’s flagship Stealth Graphex range. Built using the same aerospace-grade carbon materials, Graphene-enhanced resin system and advanced UK manufacturing processes as the main carp rods in the series, this is a spod/marker rod without compromise.

Designed and manufactured in Century’s UK factory, the Stealth Graphex benefits from over 45 years of rod-building expertise, complete in-house control of materials and production, and industry-leading composite technology derived from aerospace and motorsport sectors.

Flagship Blank Technology

At the core of the Stealth Graphex is one of the highest modulus carbon materials available in the industry, reinforced with a Graphene-enhanced resin system. This allows Century to reduce overall material weight while increasing strength and toughness.

For the angler, this means:

• Lighter feel during repetitive spodding

• Faster tip recovery for improved distance

• Exceptional durability under heavy casting loads

• Crisp feedback when working a marker float

The blank is Autoclave cured under high pressure during heat treatment, producing a more compact carbon wall free from air voids. This significantly improves long-term performance retention and resistance to softening over time.

Advanced Anti-Twist Construction

Using computer-controlled cutting machines and CAD-designed carbon placement, materials are laid at precise angles throughout the taper of the blank. This dramatically increases resistance to torsional load.

Benefits include:

• Reduced blank twist during powerful casts

• Less line friction through the guides

• Greater casting efficiency with less effort

• Improved directional accuracy

When spodding at range or repeatedly working a marker float, this stability makes a noticeable difference.

Premium Guide & Component Specification

The Stealth Graphex Spod/Marker is fitted with Black Titanium framed guides featuring ultra-lightweight Torzite SiC liners. Titanium guides are rarely used on carp rods due to their cost, but they offer superior flex with the blank during compression while reducing overall rod weight.

This 12ft version features a full shrink rubber handle, offering maximum grip and durability in wet conditions. It is finished with premium fittings, Stealth Graphex branding in matt dark grey and a Union Jack detail on the underside of the blank — reinforcing its British manufacturing heritage.

12ft Spod/Marker – Purpose Built Power & Precision
