SPODDING<br />
By Steve Spurgeon<br />
ON any water containing good numbers<br />
of carp spodding is my main line of attack<br />
because it allows me to create a very<br />
confident feeding situation. By encouraging<br />
competitive feeding you’re more likely to<br />
make multiple catches rather than nicking<br />
odd fish here and there.<br />
The biggest mistake is baiting at the start<br />
of a session and then sitting on your hands<br />
too long. With experience you can often<br />
read the signs that tell you carp are feeding<br />
over your baited area even if you’re not<br />
getting takes. With a bit more work the<br />
indicators should start sounding.<br />
Carp are more aggressive feeders than<br />
many give them credit for, and will clean<br />
out a baited area quickly, often within<br />

hours. A couple more spods every hour<br />
or two helps freshen up a spot,<br />
encouraging carp to come in and feed again<br />
- bringing extra takes.<br />
Often a capture means all the bait has<br />
pretty much been eaten. When a bite<br />
comes, top the swim back up to keep the<br />
carp feeding hard and bring more takes.<br />
This style of fishing you are almost thinking<br />
a few carp ahead all the time.<br />
Spodding for long periods can be tough<br />
but the right kit takes away a lot of the hard<br />
work. A purpose designed spod rod like the<br />
<strong>Fox</strong> Warrior or Horizon SFD coupled with<br />
a quality indestructable reel such as <strong>Fox</strong><br />
Stratos 12000E will send out and retreive<br />
spods effortlessly and with accurately.<br />

TOP TIPS FOR SPODDING<br />
The nose cones of <strong>Fox</strong> Spods are extra bouyant,<br />
so that when the spod hits the water, the nose<br />
rises to the top helping to empty the spod. The<br />
cones are also supplied in three colours - black,<br />
red and yellow - to ensure they remain visible in all<br />
water conditions.<br />

Full and half cylinder inserts are supplied with all <strong>Fox</strong><br />
Spods for use with small baits like pellets, particles or<br />
topping up with water.<br />

Tie the supplied Kwik Clip to your leader via a 5 turn<br />
grinner and simply clip the swivel of the spod onto it.<br />
