| Re: Spodding Spodding should not make a lot of noise as the spod hits the water if you are doing it right. Plus it is a well know fact that carp are drawn to the noise of pellets and ground bait hitting the surface of a lake so why not a spod. I have often had mr marker float dragged across the lake by carp feeding under the marker float as I hit the float with my spod. In summer it is not unusual for the spod to be pushed out of the water by carp desporatly trying to get the food out of the spod. Its a great tool when used well it does not always work every where and its not a tool just to dump tons of bait in all at once. Like match anglers its best to start little and often and see how the swim develops. |

| Re: Spodding Good tips mate. I think spodding is really useful in most circumstances and if done right does not make a huge splash to scare off the fish. I often use the spod on the canal if im fishing for bream works well as long as you dont over feed the swim. @PDM i think your views of us "bivvy boys" is slightly deluded, if you actually took the time to understand that there are many different types of fishing then you wouldn't come across pompous in your posts. As for using match angling tactics on a speci water...I dont think this would work out all that well, any fool can fish floating pole at 16m n bag over 200lb of stockies, I used to be one them lol. I just dont understand why people come on and pick apart a useful piece of information. HEWY __________________ An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind. |

| Re: Spodding ok all fistly i am a bivy boy and i fish some large lakes and small lakes. linear being one and it is the way down there on the complex commonly known as the oxford way. i do spod as some spots are at range and with large carp residing in the lakes they do need a fair amount of feed and if a shoul of them turn up they can get through kgs of feed.The way i spod is around 10/20 spods to start,if iam on them will top up with five more after every take. I do not fill it in and the reason being i may want to move if the carp move to another part of the lake. Spodding a sloppy mix over zigs is a great tattic in the summer months. My spod mix is the same all year round but if i find myself on small lakes i introduce a method mix to bind it all and catapult balls out. my spod mix 1 kg of crushed hemp@ £ 1.00/kg 2 kg of standard hemp@ £1.00/kg 1 kg of mixed size pellets @ £3.00/kg but put these in last do not want a mushy mess. 1 kg of groats @ £0.85p/kg 1kg pure fishmeal @ £2.00/kg A spod mix of 6kgs @ £8.85 will change this if the need arises |
