CARP RIGS - Fox International

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

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

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