what strength of line do you use for spodding

As Steve says you'll need a leader. I use 10lb mono and 25lb leader. Thinner mono will get you further but wears out quicker. Braid is another option but you don't need it, and it comes with it's own set of problems.

how do yo atach your leader to your mainline

[RobStubbs]

I use a knot that I learned whilst sea fishing. I couldn't possibly describe it I'm afraid although it is pretty simple to tie.

 

I don't know for sure but I would be suprised if it isn't covered in detail in one of gaffers articles so I suggest you have a look through them. A cleverer man than me would do the search and put the link in here

I use one of my beach rod and reels with 25lb line straight through to my spod never had any probs with it the same as Rob ,i use a sea knot .

My spod rod is backed with 16lb Top Line (only 0.30mm) and a shock leader of about 12foot – this ensures you can reach any distance with any sized spod. For the knot from main to leader I use a six turn grinner knot.
