Fox 12ft Camolite Spod & Marker Double Sleeves

Fox 12ft Camolite Spod & Marker Double Sleeve

Your spod and marker rods are the workhorses of your setup, often carrying the heaviest reels and the most expensive braid. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that these “utility” rods are often the most neglected when it comes to protection. The Fox 12ft Camolite Spod & Marker Double Sleeve is a specialist storage solution designed to house two made-up rods and oversized big pit reels, ensuring your mapping and baiting tools are always protected and ready for action.

Product Details and Uses

Unlike a standard rod sleeve, this double sleeve is specifically tailored for the bulkier nature of spod and marker setups. It features an enlarged reel sculpt to comfortably accommodate even the largest big pit reels on the market without putting stress on the zips. The sleeve is constructed from hardwearing, water-resistant 500D treated polyester, providing a rugged outer shell that thrives in harsh bankside conditions.

The brilliance of this sleeve lies in its integrated storage. It features a dedicated side pocket for your marker or wrapping sticks, and a secondary large side pocket designed specifically to hold Impact Spods and Spombs™. This means your entire “feature finding and baiting” kit is kept in one organized place. Perhaps the most valuable addition is the included Marker Stick Measuring Strap, allowing you to accurately wrap out your lines to the exact yardage required. With padded camo grab handles and a removable shoulder strap, it is as comfortable to carry as it is secure.

Detailed Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• Precision Swim Mapping: Keep your marker rod and wrapping sticks in one place so you can find the spot and clip up your fishing rods with zero downtime.

• Heavy Baiting Campaigns: Ideal for transporting your dedicated spod rod along with multiple Spombs, ensuring you have everything needed to build a swim quickly.

• Mobile “Roving” Sessions: The removable padded shoulder strap makes it easy to carry your utility rods separately if you are moving between pegs to find fish.

• Organized Vehicle Transport: The rigid padding and oversized reel sections prevent your expensive spod and marker reels from banging together or getting scratched in the back of a van or car.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

The “One-Trip” Setup: To make the most of the included measuring strap, keep it permanently inside the side pocket with your wrapping sticks. When you arrive at a new peg, the first thing you should do is pull out this sleeve. By having your marker rod and measuring tools in one bag, you can have your spots found and your fishing rods “clipped up” before you’ve even finished setting up your bivvy!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will this fit 50mm butt rings?

Yes. The Fox Camolite sleeves are designed with modern rod specifications in mind. There is ample room to accommodate rods with 50mm butt rings without the fabric being pulled tight against the guides.

Is the measuring strap adjustable?

The included Marker Stick Measuring Strap is designed to help you set your sticks at a precise distance (usually 12ft/4 yards apart) so you can accurately count your “wraps” to reach your target distance.

Are the reels separated inside the sleeve?

Yes, the sleeve features internal padding and a divider system to ensure that your two big pit reels do not rub together or cause damage during transit.

Can I use this for my standard fishing rods?

While you certainly can, this sleeve is specifically “sculpted” for the larger reels and external accessories associated with spodding and marking. For your standard fishing rods, we would recommend the standard Fox Camolite 2-Rod or 3-Rod Sleeves for a more tailored fit.
