Dot Spod: when a small spod makes more sense

Not every baiting situation requires launching half a kilo of particles into the lake at once.

The Dot Spod is designed around smaller, more accurate bait delivery.

That can be particularly useful when you want to introduce small parcels repeatedly rather than creating an enormous feeding area.

Smaller baiting devices also put less strain on the rod.

That can make them easier to cast accurately for long periods.

For winter fishing, the ability to bait conservatively is particularly useful.

You might want attraction around the rig without giving relatively inactive carp several meals’ worth of food.

Small Spombs and Dot Spod-style devices are also useful for topping up after a bite.

A couple of casts can restore the spot without completely disturbing the swim.

Of course, if you’re trying to put ten kilos of bait out, you’ll quickly become bored.

Choose the tool around the amount of bait required.

Do you favour small baiting devices for accuracy or big Spombs to get the job done quickly?
