5 Things To Know

It is listed at 20lb breaking strain, a lighter rating that means a tapered mono or braid leader is part of the intended setup.
At 0.18mm diameter the braid is thin, which helps the line leave the spool cleanly on longer casts.
It comes on 300m spools, enough braid to fill larger marker or spod reels with room for backing.
The ultra-buoyant floating construction keeps the braid on the surface for marker work and line retrieval after baiting.
Featured in our best spod braid guide as the thin-diameter floating option for marker and spod work at range.

Product Information

The Fox Exocet MK2 Spod Marker Braid is a 20lb floating braid for carp anglers using a spod or marker setup at range. It is part of Fox's mainline and leader range, with separate green marker and yellow spod colour options.

Fox lists the braid at 0.18mm diameter and 20lb breaking strain on 300m spools. The green version is marked for marker use, while the yellow version is the spod option. The key design points are buoyancy, low stretch, low diameter and high knot strength. Those details make sense for repeated casting, marker work and situations where the braid needs to leave the spool cleanly under pressure.

Fox recommends using it with tapered mono or braid leaders. That is an important angler note, because this is a thinner 20lb braid rather than a heavier straight-through spod braid for repeated power casting.

This is a sensible choice for anglers who want a long spool of floating braid for marker or spod work and are happy to use a leader for heavier casting at range on bigger waters. Anglers should check the colour and purpose carefully, because the green marker and yellow spod versions look similar in name but serve slightly different jobs.

Features and Specifications

Feature	What this means
20lb breaking strain	The braid is lighter than some straight-through spod braids, so leader use is part of the intended setup.
0.18mm diameter	The thin diameter helps line leave the spool cleanly during longer casts.
300m spool	The spool length gives enough braid for filling larger marker or spod reels with room for backing if needed.
Ultra buoyant floating braid	The floating braid is useful for marker work and for retrieving line after baiting up.
Virtually no stretch	Low stretch helps transmit feedback from a marker lead when reading the lake bed.
High knot strength	Good knot strength matters when joining to leaders and casting repeatedly.
Green marker option	The green option is the more subdued marker version in the range.
Yellow spod option	The yellow option is easier to see when baiting up and tracking the line.
Leader recommended	Fox recommends pairing the braid with tapered mono or braid leaders for distance spodding.
