How To Bait Accurately With A Spod or Spomb - Carp Fishing 

Haha yes, it’s really helpful. :)

@@fishingtutorials But how does it work if the water is deeper? Like 10 or 12 or more ft. Because then it would be different right? Maybe if it is possible could you make a tutorial for that? (Spod beginner 😅)

@@y666boersma also want to know this as the lake i fish is 24ft deep

Glad to hear they help :) Thank you Riley!

Thanks mate :) glad it helped! 👍

Ahh glad to hear that Tevor :) enjoy your fishing!

Really pleased to hear it!! Glad they're helping :) You're so welcome

You would probably cringe to high hell if you saw the techniques and rods I been using lmao. Making due with my 7' medium heavy bass rods. Inline weight with 2' 20lb fluorocarbon to a 1/32 oz jighead tipped with corn. I'm fishing ~2 feet of water in Lily beds.

But deam, what a nice lakes you are fishing! My man, come to Bulgaria to see all the thrash in the world dumped on the bank. There is little or no respect to the fish itself. Poor story :(

( yeah, okay… spod rod a thirth of the depth shorter is a general thumb rule…👍)

Fox have done an underwater testing this they found that taking 1ft off the spomb for every 4ft of water is perfect 👍

Totally agree. :)

You're so welcome! Glad you find them helpful :)

Glad to help! You're welcome :)

Thank you :) Happy to hear that Myles!

You're welcome Carl :)

You're welcome mate :) glad you found it clear

So glad :)

Thank you mate! Stocked the rest of the fish yesterday! Look like pt 4 will hopefully be out in July :)

@@fishingtutorials thanks that sounds sounds👍

You're welcome! :)

@@fishingtutorials👍

Glad you think so, cheers John.

You're welcome :) Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Mike :)

Thank you! So glad to hear it :)

​@@fishingtutorialshello pls say name your carp rods!

Thank you Lex! Just filmed that yesterday actually! All of the fish are in now :) got a few carp films to edit, then I can get on editing pt 4. It will be out in July!

I think he is fishing in shallow waters so in his case there is no need to give more wraps to the rod he's fishing with since it will be nearly in the same square as his feed, if you fish in deep waters defnitely helps giving more line to the fishing rod.

I've just got some cheap braid on there, but the Korda Basix spod braid is a good price and casts well. :)

that's what Iwas wondering as well. When the water is 5m+ deep the difference can be quite substantial.

You would need to shorten your spod rod

In most depths, at any sort of distance, it's negligible and it's best to ignore it. At worst, your hookbait will be on the nearside of the bait, which isn't a bad thing anyway. In deeper water, especially at shorter range, it can make a difference. The solution is easy, use a separate marker float rod, clip it up to the same distance and pop it up. This puts your rig and marker lead on the same spot, with the marker directly above. Now, clip up the sold rod, cast to the float, and if it goes too far, you can adjust.

When your spom/spod is 3ft further past your hook bait due to the depth of the lake that's massive!

Every 3ft of depth down is 1ft drop back is what i think

There’s a lot of controversy surrounding this subject, I never really worry too much unless I’m fishing big French lakes where I’m using the bait boat (cheating) is what I used to think 😂 - massive edge for getting your rig under huge overhanging trees etc … but if I’m fishing open water and still using the boat and maybe fishing in a hole or deeper channel that the fish may patrol at 15-20’ I may put my spod rod out in the boat with just a lead attached. Clip it up when the boat stops, then perhaps take off 6’ and put your spomb on for baiting up while your 2-3 rods are out so you don’t have to keep putting piles of bait over the top (yes there’s many boats like mine with a kind of spiral in the hopper which kicks the bait out around your spot. However, I like to keep the distance relatively the same and a few spombs around the baited spot so it’s all not in one tight patch they may trigger the fish to think “eh up lads. I wouldn’t eat that” but just do whatever YOU feel comfortable with doing. You could listen to 10 or more anglers that will all offer you different options and you will fry your brain. For smaller waters like where Carl was fishing I wouldn’t adjust anything as it’s probably only 6-8 foot deep. Just be confident and tight lines guys and girls …

Wonder why beginners find it more complicated your talking more advanced

You're welcome Harry! All the best with it :)

They're decent! I've used them for a few years now :)

These videos are aimed at beginners, however I might discuss the more advanced stuff in a future video.

@@joes3920 I think GS4000 as emblems are way bigger

GS4000 :) Nice little reel for all my carping where a big cast is not needed :)

@@fishingtutorials thank you i always wondered what they are love the vids to lookin for a better reel for my 6ft dwarf as only got big pits and a little match reel

Yes, rod length won’t make a difference. :)

Look like korda to me mate

For short to medium casts your normal fishing line or braid will work ok without a shockleader. When using a dedicated spod/marker braid a shockleader will be needed as the spod/marker braid will be much thinner and could cut into your finger on the cast, or snap under the pressure of a big cast!

It doesn't change anything, just leave the distance sticks in the same place ;)

yes it comes to you the half of the depth of the water, if the water is 10ft it will land 5ft shorter on bottom

yes you can

It can be helpful to keep the braid wet whilst casting. Also using a shock leader made of thick braid can also help.

Stocked the rest of the koi yesterday! Should be out in July :) Had lots of carp filming trip recently, lots of editing to do now.

@@fishingtutorials OK Carl thank you again for the reply looking fwd to seeing the video also have you ever fished in the Forest of Dean South Gloucestershire

You're welcome mate :) no only fished Hereford area, upper Wye

@@fishingtutorials We have some great carp fishing areas around here you should try the area

It's a device that is able to hold bait, which when cast out can accurately deliver bait to bait-up a particular spot :) - it opens on impact to release the bait.

It's called a spod, or smomb depending on the brand :)

@@fishingtutorials thanks you, I want to get one and I caught my first carp because of your videos! Thank you so much for helping

Ah I'm glad!! Enjoy your fishing mate 😊👍

You may think that, but in my experience this second loop has never broken even with spodding 100 meters for many hours.

@@fishingtutorials Thats my experience with spoding just midi spomb for 130 m + it snaps in third cast in this knot, with larger spomb for longer distance can snap in first cast :D *45 lb shock braid

Can't though! He doesn't enjoy carp fishing anymore! :(

we only share one similarity

Each to their own :)

Glad to hear

Worth it in certain situations to get bait out to a spot far away, it's down to this style of carp fishing!

@@fishingtutorials it’s not bad idea tbh

Helped me massively on certain venues, especially res diaries season 3! Had to keep baiting the same far away snag to keep drawing them in!
