Seeings as you use a spod mix i assume you use a marker rod for a sight to aim for.
What spod rod and reel also what marker rod and reel do you have?

i do not have my own yet mate.i will be getting a spod rod,marker rod and 2 reels next year.i borrow my mates as i fish with him just about every session but most f my fishing is done to the near or far margin so then i put the spod mix in by hand or a bait spoon as its alot easyer and it dose not spook the fish.i will find out what spod,marker rod and reels my mate has got.i think they are shimano.

Oh i dont think a bait spoon would be appropriate for me as i fish at around 80-100+ yards lol.
No worries i fishing with big pva bags and a huge catty atm but i would proffer to use small bags and more spod.

[1chris1]

ok mate and do you spod at all now? the only time i do long distance spoding is if im fishing the main part of the lake i all ways fish then im spodding about 120-130 yards.its hard work lol
