Spodding for Carp

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

A Spod is a rocket shaped tube used for getting light weight Carp baits at range.

To cast your spod you will want a rod capable of handling 6 -12 oz’s. A cheap beach caster is ideal. With the spod empty or containing some water cast the spod to the zone you want to ground bait. When you are happy with the range, clip the line onto the line clip on your spool and now when you cast the clip should drop the spod into your zone every time.

Some people start spodding for a few days before fishing to create a feeding frenzy of Carp. Others just start on the day – the choice is yours.

Protect your reels

After you have been fishing, rinse your reels in fresh water to get rid of salt, grit and other deposits.

Allow the reel to dry in a well ventilated area. For protection place it into a sock. When its in the foot of the sock, twist the sock and pull it back through its self, making a double skinned reel sausage.

You can send your reels away for servicing as per makers instructions or attempt DIY servicing.

Rember warrenties may become void if you select the DIY option.

The Chub will fall to Bread, Cheese and big black slugs!

You can lure fish for them also.

Happy fishing
