RyannLarge Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Didn't see one at Pete's (may have missed it) and I haven't seen one at bass pro (again might have missed it). It's essentially a bobber on the end of a perforated tube correct? I'm wondering if I could make one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frog088 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 check out the spomb. Much better than a spod IMO. Also, www.carpkit.com is a great source for specialty gear that you can't find locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo1685 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I agree with Frog, Spomb is the way to go. Just remember to make sure your rod can handle the weight. My Black Widow 2.75lb test curve handles a midi-spomb fine, but I have a heavier test pound curve rod coming in for the large spomb (6 oz's when full). I also agree with goiing with CarpKit.com. Simon has alot of good gear in stock, ships really fast too. I live just down the road from him, so I just pick it up and save the shipping Also, you can also look at other options for baiting up too. Groundbait balls via hand or catapult, loose particle mix by hand, spoon or catty aswell. I only find my spomb useful for any distances over 40 yards or so. And the only time I'm fishing that distance, its straight out in the lake. Goodluck wth your spodding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyannLarge Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I haven't been distance fishing yet but I find it hard to throw a ball of bait in the same spot over and over. I can cast relatively accurately but I suck at throwing and catapults. I figure something I can cast that will hold a handful or two of bait would get me better results. I'll check out that site for sure. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont wanna go to cast and CRACK! goodbye rod and possibly the spod. Sail also has Spods now in stock if you wanted to take a look at them in store.

Worst case Ontario I figured I could tie it to a strong stick. I'm only looking to place the bait ten or so feet out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo1685 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 10 feet? Try a baiting spoon. They get 10-20 feet, and can throw out a lot more per scoop. Save yourself the effort of casting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skroads Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I've also been looking for these. I've found them on Chinese websites but would rather get one in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
