Spodding

[Nik]

Hi Folks,

Could anyone give me any good info on how to go about spodding? I have acquired a spod rod, some shock leaders and a spod! ( always good ). How should I rig it and use it?

Thanks guys!!!

okay then just attach it using a pallamar and off ya go, no need for a shockleader, unless it is a big spod?? if so then just attach it using the multi not and attach the spod to the shock leader via the grinner knot, job done, any other help!! ???

You want to put a spod out any distance saftly you got to use a shock leader.Unless your spooling up with 50lb braid I suppose.

Guess I must use a big spod then. I put a 100lb powerpro shock leader on with a 50lb mainline.

 

May be more than I need but distance is fine and I've not had a crack off.

Thanks Guys, thats exactly what I wanted to know,

cheers!!

For power casting, you should really have 10lbs of B.S. for every ounce you cast. 30Lb for 3 ounces, 40 for 4 ounces etc. A crack off could be very expensive. A spod and all its contents could cost more than a big jerkbait. Better safe than sorry.
