Second hand carp rods
These second hand carp rods are listed by UK sellers and sorted by eTackle into one place. Single rods, matched pairs and spod or marker rods all sit in this category.
Check the photos for cracked or missing rings and look closely at the ring whippings for lifting thread. A chipped blank or a split near the joints is a reason to walk away, even on a low price.
Look for the test curve and length printed above the handle so you know what you are buying. A worn butt cap or tired cork can be replaced, but it is worth factoring into the price.
Rods are long parcels, so postage on carp rods is often higher than on reels or alarms. Some sellers offer collection only, which can make a nearby listing better value.
Private sellers often include a rod sleeve or a reel, while shop listings tend to come with a returns window. If a listing shows a 'buy new from' price, you can compare it with the same rod at reputable online tackle shops.
If you would rather buy new, browse our carp rods category. Our best carp rods guide compares current models, and the best budget carp rods guide covers lower price points.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check on a used carp rod?
Check every ring and its whipping, then look along the blank for chips or cracks. Make sure the test curve and length match what you need.
Are second hand carp rods sold in pairs?
Many are sold singly, but pairs and sets of three appear regularly. The title and photos show how many rods are included.
Why is postage higher on rods?
Rods travel as long parcels, which cost more to send. Collection-only listings avoid the postage altogether.
Can I see the new price of the same rod?
Where we can match the listing to a rod on eTackle, the card shows what it costs new. You can then compare the two side by side.
