What about if water is deep do u have to use a marker float and add the depth onto the wrap so wen u cast and hit your line clip and hold the rod till you feel the led hit bottom would that be in the right area?
Marker rod and fishing lead always on the same clip as they both go down to the bottom. Your spomb/spod is different as it opens the bait out on the surface so will bait behind you rigs as it doesn't swing back like your fishing rod/marker rod to the bottom. 1 foot off your spod for every 3 feet of water. You would have to cast your marker rod out on the clip then remove the clip to let the float up to get the depth. Hope that helps?
So when you cast out with the likne clipped, the weight and momentum of the lead being cast out doesn’t cause the line to snap when it bottoms out against the clip? Are you using very heavy braid?
Putting the line in the clip will determine the distance of the cast, but you will need to judge the amount of power needed when casting depending on the distance so that you don't hit the line clip too aggressively. Using 15lb mainline you would have to hit the line clip very hard to break the line.
How important do you think it is to take a foot off every 3ft of depth? As I've never really had problems with catching in the past whilst spodding out to an area. Lake can be between 10-15ft deep
Hi Reuben, its pretty important. You will still catch fish not doing it but you will 100% be baiting past the your rig. Try taking a 3 foot off your Spod clip and the bait will be falling just past your rigs which will help. Thanks
Please please can someone explain the "DONK" as it's one thing never ever covered ...and I've been carp fishing well over twenty years... I think I know what it is , but who knows ..cheers ..
Hi Carl, its a term used for when the lead hits a nice firm (presentable) lake bed. It's something we will be coving in a Learn To Fish very soon. Keep your eyes peeled. 👍🏼
Quick question do you have to do your wraps before every cast because I’m assuming you don’t wanna leave your line clipped after casting. I’ve seen videos about using bank sticks but they never mention this.
Never keep your rods wrapped up except if you are spodding to a spot wrap up your rods cast out and then unclip them but while marking up put some marker elastic just above where you are clipling and when you bring your rod in you will still have a marker and won't have to re wrap
You were talking about for every 3ft of water take a foot off your spod rod, could you also step back a couple of feet from your casting spot, would that do the same job?
Could you do it the other way round ? And put your marker and spomb at the same and then add the foot on the rods your fishing with ? So add the foot on your fishing rods ?
Thank you for answering the accurate spodding question I have been trying to find.
Excellent explanation Chris, keep up the good work!
Thanks glad you liked it. Chris
Very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
For the marker rod does it have to be same size off your rods
You can use either 10ft or 12ft marker rods.

Are all the rods 13.6 wraps mate

Good stuff
Great video 💪 idea for next one identifying what your fishing over maybe
Keep your eyes peeled FishyJo.... 👀

Great video. What make of rods are you using?
Hi Ryan, I'm using Greys rods. I use a Greys GT Marker rod for my feature finding and spodding.

Tip in the air, after you’ve cast out 45 degrees, feel the lead down DONK
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
What if youve got a 13ft fishing rod but a 12ft spod and marker?
Literally makes no difference as long as your distance sticks don't move
Quick question do you have to do your wraps before every cast because I’m assuming you don’t wanna leave your line clipped after casting. I’ve seen videos about using bank sticks but they never mention this.
Yeah, you should never leave your rod clipped up if its fishing unless you want to risk losing a rod
@@Matt-ft2fc thanks pal 👍
Yeah or use a line marker if you cba to wrap up
@@FixDylann I’ll look into, cheers mate

Hi Ray. If you had the space you could step back, that would work. 👍🏼
@@AnglingDirectTV Many thanks, also do you mind if I ask, do you need to do a figure of 8 when wrapping?
I find it easer to just go around the sticks
@@raybriggs4529
Use distance sticks on every session regardless it be 7 or 17 wraps...
Yeah I always use distance sticks when fishing the margins 😂👍
@@lewisgregory263 yep, might be 17 wraps down the left hand margin 😁
Could you do it the other way round ? And put your marker and spomb at the same and then add the foot on the rods your fishing with ? So add the foot on your fishing rods ?
Not really as your rig will then be past where you have felt the marker lead down (knowing its clear) It could be in weed etc.
Just fish for bass this is weird
