As I’ve written in previous posts I’m not a bait boat fan. I do though like to have a bed of bait accurately placed around my hookbait. If I’m fishing beyond catapult range then the Spod is the only real option left. I’m fairly comfortable with a spod up to about 100 yards. In fact I even like to use the spod as a bait dropper in the margins for the simple reason that it keeps the bait from spreading out too much, the type of spread you get with a catapult.
Many people will tell you , ‘Don’t spod here or you’ll blank…You need a bait boat mate!”.
I don’t actually believe this for a minute. Ok, I accept that initially the splash of a spod hitting the water may spook the fish, but they’ll be back soon. If you are fishing a bait they want to eat, in an area they are used to feeding in… A spod won’t stop them for long!!
Ok so what are the types of spod I use? There exits a whole host of varieties, and I carry a selection for all eventualities. continue reading…
