Hey guys im from south africa and just want to say I feel bad that i cant give you money bec i dont work yet im 21 But i can say guy you are legends. E really appreciate what you guys are doing and im sure everyone can agree with me . We see all the effort and time you guys put into the videos and we love the communication between us and you guys so that you guys put videos out that we want to see or need help with Keep grafting lads and once again..big thx to you💣💯
starting to see alot of my local lakes now stopping the use of spodding because its ruining the water where so much is being put in and uneaten because noddies still think that the more bait they put in, the better chance of catching
Totally agree spod warriors everywhere after watching films ? Every water is different some venues are pressurized they see any loose feed as instant trap ?
Recently received your Fishing Log and Black cap👍👍 I know my comment is a bit late, but here goes: I fish small waters in the US (where the carp have never seen boilies, hemp or most ground bait). 95%+ of the Carp caught around me are caught by accident and on corn! While I do add sweet corn to my mix (no need to fix something that’s not broken), I’ve been trying to keep strict to the UK-style (boilies, particle, hook baits, etc…call me stubborn🙄 That said, do you think your mix in the video will work in the waters I fish? Any suggestions for me to use as an addition or an alternative? Will carp be attracted to a food source they’ve never encountered? Thanks much -Joe
Great advice like always. I’m sure I remember on an old video of yours that you said you could use normal rod for spodding at short range. Is that right?
I'm doing an overnighter with my dad in 2 days, the lake has Tench, Bream and Carp, and is weedy. We would like to catch anything. any tips on what to put in my mix?
You can use less then 40g but might struggle with bite indication off the smaller fish at the tip of the rod. A way around this is to use a multiplier reel so you can have your finger on your line constantly to feel the bites through your line. The biggest problem imo, if say you drop down to 10g or even 20g the action of the rod might pull the jig back to much when you twitch ect. Hope this helps buddy
Assuming you got a dedicated spod rod, use 20 pound -ish braided mainline. Not mono, the thickness will reduce casting distance. Then take some 50 pound braided leader, and tie it on using a back to back grinner, doing 8 or so turns. Tying knots wit braid requires more turns then mono. When its tied on, wind the leader on the spool 3-4 times, thats enhough. Then take it throug the eyes an back down to the reel. Cut it there. Now tie big figure of8 loop knot, so the spomb can fit through it. Loop it on, and youre good to go! Hope this helps :)
When it comes to dry particles - I wouldn´t be too bothered about that. (I don´t use them dry) But at least carp have a really strong digestive system (I mean, they eat mussels whole) and digest it in less than 2 hours. Or am I wrong?
@@franstehecsusac3875 spod reels are geared so they have a really fast retrieval rate. This is to make it easier to spod out numerous times in a row without so much effort reeling in each time. The reels are not really designed to play fish on. A spod rod is good for catfish due to the higher test curve. Just pair it with a normal carp reel though.
I'm going to Norton Disney next week and that will be the first time I've used a spod. Thanks for the advice with the corn but what would you use to replace the hemp as its not allowed?
When we were on norton we just baited up with pellets! The fish in there are pretty recently stocked and therefore still looking for pellets like they were fed at the fish farm! :)
Any rod with arround 4 to 5 lb testcurve will have the power needed to send spombs flying. For most distance use a 13 foot rod, but theres also 10 foot spod rods available for shorter ranges. A 50 mm butt ring helps a bunch too.
Practice practice practice... Just take a bucket of dirt, put it in the spomb to simmulate a filled one. then focus on the far bank marker. Really try to keep the rod in line with the marker during the actual cast. If the rod sways off, so will the spomb. As for the distance, use the line clip. Keep the weight of the spomb approximately the same every cast, and also the force you put into the cast. Hitting the clip 0.5 to 2 metres above the water yields the most accurate results. Pretty much it, just practice a lot! Let me say again that its really important you keep the rod in line with the far bank marker DURING the cast, pay attention to it. Get spoddin mate!

This is one of the problem nowadays where all the Noddy's can have all the money and baits and all the gear but no bloody idea lol
Im think about starting to spod it is worth me doing so with what your saying?
Mate mesh bags are doing it, keep seeing people putting massive beds of bait out not catching.
Another great vidio
Thanks Maz :)

Love your vids do a colab with catfish and carp
Great advice like always. I’m sure I remember on an old video of yours that you said you could use normal rod for spodding at short range. Is that right?
I use a 3lb test curve rod with the micro dot spod works perfect👍
@@alexvh1405 awesome I have 3lb tc rods. Do you just use it on mono or with braid?
@@Nman666 braid just make sure your knots are tight enough and you will be good to go
@@alexvh1405 appreciate that mate
i’ve been using dynamites hemp mix, just bought there particle mix, trying it sunday coming, can’t wait, drayton resivior, using the new spomb midi x
Cook your own your just buying the brand name these guys get it for pennies Compared to us.
@@adventures1919 i do, but i was reccomend it, and it wasn’t half bad, but i fucking broke the spomb first cast
I have been trying so hard to find a good boilie recipe to make at home. Havent been able to find a place to buy them in australia, victoria 😢
Hi guys! Can you tell us please about deep water spod mix? Thank you 😊
I can put two type of different liquid?
1 fish liquid and the second meat liquid?
I'm doing an overnighter with my dad in 2 days, the lake has Tench, Bream and Carp, and is weedy. We would like to catch anything. any tips on what to put in my mix?
Thank you so much!!!
I have a question. Let’s say you’re buying a jig rod and it says 40 to 130 g. Can u use less than that is it ok.
You can use less then 40g but might struggle with bite indication off the smaller fish at the tip of the rod. A way around this is to use a multiplier reel so you can have your finger on your line constantly to feel the bites through your line. The biggest problem imo, if say you drop down to 10g or even 20g the action of the rod might pull the jig back to much when you twitch ect. Hope this helps buddy
Awesome lads! Could you do a video on how you tie on a spomb to your main line? Cheers

Hello if my rod are lets say an example of 10 times how much to ise for spod clips?
It's a good carp bait.
Hi great video, can i use your mix for pva too?
Of course, you may have to put salt on the sweetcorn and hemp to prevent the sweetcorn melting the pva. 👍🏻🎣
What do you do if your pellets float?
Can you make a video where you show us how to make a german rig?
The mainline baits youtube channel got a nice video on it mate👍
Thank you man
When it comes to dry particles - I wouldn´t be too bothered about that. (I don´t use them dry) But at least carp have a really strong digestive system (I mean, they eat mussels whole) and digest it in less than 2 hours.
Or am I wrong?
Can you help me with a question i have, can i us a spod rod and real for catfish fishing
Rod yes, reel no
@@mattyctill okay, can you tell me just why i can't use the reel

@@fishingtutorials thank you, I will deffo use this tactic 👍👍
:Hi guys I just started carp fishing and wondered if you had an old rod bag for sale that can hold 3 12ft rods?
Where is the best place to get cheap boolies I can’t find any
What sort of rod do u use ?
Any rod with arround 4 to 5 lb testcurve will have the power needed to send spombs flying. For most distance use a 13 foot rod, but theres also 10 foot spod rods available for shorter ranges. A 50 mm butt ring helps a bunch too.
@@thedutchgamerguy8580 thanks
if my fishing rod 13 is bigger than spod rod 12, should i consider the difference when wrapped?
As long as the distance sticks remain the same distance apart just count the wraps and you are good to go.
what type of response pellets work the best?
We found they all work fine :)
@@fishingtutorials okay thanks tot the answer and good luck
What about a lesson on preparing pigeon conditioner and vitalin as it’s even cheaper
Id only use it if there is little to no bream, but yes mega cheap stuff
hi Carl and Alex
Looked like you had a bag under your shirt ? , all good?
i cannot aim a spod for the life of me lmao
Practice practice practice... Just take a bucket of dirt, put it in the spomb to simmulate a filled one. then focus on the far bank marker.

make carp fishing videos, friends
So the secret ingredient is weed 😅
Bait and Spomb on same wraps is not 100 % acurate, Spomp must be thrown a little less far
Yep, but this is a video for beginners so I didn’t want to confuse them :)
