Our aim was to develop a class leading premium blank featuring robust, quality, reliable components manufactured using the best materials and carbon technology. After two and half year’s development work and testing and countless hours spent refining what we believe to be the ultimate utility rod, we are very excited to be able to bring you the SCR Special Taper UTIL rod, designed to meet the demands of delivering bait long distances and feature finding with pin point accuracy!
The ST 12ft UTIL (Spomb & Marker) blank has been designed for long distance and accuracy when using Spods or Spombs between 5-7.5oz when fully loaded. The rod has been tested with a range of different bait delivery products. It is still very capable of casting large Spombs but we found the majority of anglers were able to achieve longer distances and better accuracy with less fatigue and stress on the body when casting the Midi X Spomb.
The UTIL rod is also suitable for marker work and due to having a carbon inlay reel seat and shrink wrap handle you get great transmission down the blank and into your hand from the different lake bed types you are bumping a lead over. It is the perfect feature finding tool and to give you greater accuracy when depth checking we have also included 1ft and 2ft markers on the blank.
Every component used for these rods has been carefully selected based on a strict criteria to ensure the quality and reliability of our products. The following technical details will go some way to explain why we believe our rods are exactly what you are looking for to gain the power, accuracy and confidence in your fishing.

As our loyal customers already know we are very happy to work directly with you to ensure the purchasing of rods from us is a stress-free experience and we aim to ensure our customers get the right tools for the job.
Length/Test Curve
12ft 4.5LB ST UTIL
Application
12ft - All round /multi-range bait delivery and feature finding
Taper/Action
Specially developed taper that generates a semi-fast action with progressive curve, giving you the power and accuracy to deliver bait to your chosen spot time and time again.
Blank
High quality Japanese Toray Carbon
High modulus low resin pre preg 40 Ton Carbon which provides longevity of the blank overtime, ensuring it retains its test curve for longer
Full 1k weave with a Dura-X finish which uses a manufacturing process that doesn’t require lacquers or resins. The finish means scratches or blemishes are kept to a minimum and your rods will look great for longer
Guides
AT Ti Forged Air guides finished in a PVD hard chrome shadow black finish which is the most durable coating available. This coating was chosen to ensure the ultimate durability of the guides due to other guides with less expensive finishes wearing quickly with the use of more abrasive mainlines
Guide set includes 50mm, 30mm, 25mm, 20mm, 16mm and 16mm Delta Nano Light ceramic anti frap tip. The 50mm then 30mm set up was chosen because during testing it was demonstrated that it gave improved casting performance over the 50, 40 set up by reducing the size of line coil quicker on the cast
Handle/Reel Seat
CRSD matt black hood with 1k carbon inlay designed to flex with the blank during casting and providing greater haptic feedback when feeling for a drop, which is an advantage over metal reel seats
High durability shrink wrap on main part of handle with slight flare to the rear with a high density super slim EVA flare in front of the reel seat, to keep the appearance inline with the ST carp rods. Finished neatly with a black delrin butt cap which is extremely durable and reduces the visibility of scratches.
