SPODDING
CARP bait comes in a huge variety
of shapes and sizes, from hemp to
maggots, corn and boilies.
Although boilies can be fed at
medium to long range with
powerful catapults and throwing
sticks, a huge number of successful
baits are lightweight or irregularly
shaped making them difficult to
catapult anything other than short
distances.
Remote boats are expensive and
beyond the pocket of many carpers
and baiting from rowing boats is
banned on most UK venues, leaving
one key method for introducing
feed - spodding.
Devised back in the early 80s spods
or bait rockets are the most
effective way to accurately feed
small baits long distances.
Filled with any combination of
baits, from grains of hemp to the
tiniest micro pellets spods are simply
cast to the required area.
A buoyant nose cone ensures they
flip over after hitting the water and
simply drop your feed in a tight
area below the rocket.
The latest computer designed
rockets are aerodynamic and
incredibly stable in flight, coupled
with powerful spod rods they allow
us to be able to consistently bait
with the tiniest of feeds within feet
of a target even at very long ranges
- subject to your casting accuracy.
A good caster with balanced tackle
can launch well designed spods up
to 150 yards, beyond the ranges
many caneffectively cast baited
rigs.
