What is Marker braid?

This braid casts superbly well, thanks to its low diameter, and transmits the feel of the lake bed accurately back to your rod, allowing you to find the very best feeding areas with your marker float setup.

Do you need a shock leader for Spodding?

Spod rods have a high test curve, e.g. 5.5lb, which means they have the ability to cope with the force of the cast and help to accurately propel your spomb to its chosen mark. Always use a shock leader when casting a spod or spomb, again to help reduce the chance of a crack off.

What line should I use for Spodding?

A 50lb braided leader is perfect. Your mainline for spodding can be either a dedicated floating spod braid or in more recent times a lighter mono such as 10lb which can be easier to work with for some anglers with less chance of wind knots and braided line tangles.

Do I need to soak braid line before spooling?

Should I soak braid before spooling?

use the bottom section of a rod and drop the spool of braid into it, then wind it under tension through a wet cloth. I often “treat” the braid before I load it by soaking it in water with fabric conditioner in overnight.. it takes a bit of the coating off and makes the braid more limp.
