Avid Carp Ascent Spod Rod – 5.5 lb spod rod for baiting with a Spomb
The Avid Carp Ascent Spod Rod is a two-piece spod rod with a 5.5 lb test curve, designed for regular baiting with bait rockets. The high-modulus carbon fibre blank, multidirectional carbon and 1K weave provide the power reserve needed for dynamic casting, while the Sea-Guide Anti-Tangle 50–16 mm guides support smooth line flow.
Powerful blank for baiting with a Spomb
Ascent Spod rods are built from high-modulus carbon fibre and feature a 5.5 lb test curve. This specification handles the loads generated when repeatedly casting a filled Spomb or other bait Rocket.
Multidirectional carbon and 1K weave
The blank uses multidirectional carbon fabric, which helps maintain stability under heavy loading. The external 1K weave further strengthens the construction while retaining the responsiveness and accuracy needed for baiting at range.
Sea-Guide Anti-Tangle 50–16 mm guides
Both Spod versions are fitted with Anti-Tangle XTG Sea-Guide guides with LS Zirconia inserts in a 50–16 mm configuration. The smooth inserts reduce line friction during casting, while the Anti-Tangle profile reduces the risk of line wrapping around the guide frames. The manufacturer also indicates that this guide configuration is suitable for use with braided lines.
Sea-Guide XDPS 18 mm reel seat
The reel is secured in a black Sea-Guide XDPS 18 mm reel seat. The design is suited to large spod reels used during intensive baiting.
Full Japanese Shrink handle
The handle is finished along its entire length with Japanese shrink Wrap. The subtly flared butt grip and rounded butt cap help maintain control during powerful, repeated casts.
12 ft and 13 ft versions
The Avid Carp Ascent Spod Rod is available in two lengths. The 12 ft / 3.66 m model is more versatile, while the 13 ft / 3.96 m version offers a longer lever for anglers focused on baiting at greater distances.
