I use the Dot for surface baits and Spider for sloppy zig mix. Dot has never failed to open unlike others. Spider never gets me wet on the cast with sloppy mix.
The airbomb is brilliant at surface fishing at range for getting the floaters out if you can hit the clip quite high you get a lovely scattering of floaters and the airbomb doesn't spook the carp as it lands well away from them . I do like the look of the spider spomb though tight lines from the NORTHERN CARP FREAKS UA-cam 🎣🎣👍👍
Spider spod easy the best tried them all. You can retrieve the thing with the rod under the water. No wetting of spool. Flies out and opens every go even if you hit the clip too hard.
Spomb solved the 'spod showers' issue and much more. If you develop a product like this, with the amount of investment and R&D required, then marketing costs, tackle shop margins...it's a challenge without the bottomless resources of PLC's like Nash. However you skin it, these 'rivals' would not be around had it not been for the original spomb design. Spombs aren't overpriced, barely cost more than the Korda Spod rockets and were a British innovation from a small UK company. They were trying to protect their IP which is fair enough. A v.good angler working with Korda smashed up a rival's 'crusher' stand because it resembled their product too closely - both of which were based on weed grinders. So I can understand Mr&Mrs Spomb's frustration.
They (spomb) sold over 100k units in their first year, that's at least 10 million turnover not bad on a single products first outing ,the cats eye of the carp world. At least they delivered when they said they would, unlike being dangled on a string for a year like foxes disappointment. Dot spod still pisses all over the lot,why wouldn't another company want a bit of the action/competition (pie). What's going to be the next big thing I wonder?
I dont know why so many people have problems with the fox one. I've got thousands of casts on mine and apart from it not opening everytime with lighter particle it's been perfect
Sorry to say this, but the spider spod is absolut crap, you can't use it with small particles, it will open before impact every second cast, or you can't close it
All these hundreds of hours of tackle “reviews” and the only actual comparison video relates to nigh on identical spods. Why don’t any of you fannies discuss Basia vs Technium reels? Free Spirit vs Century vs Harrison rods? Japanese vs Brit rods? Delkim vs Fox Alarms?
Dot spod is my favorite. Easy to refill with one hand and made in Zrenjanin 👌💪🏆
great vid and well presented! Cheers :)
Dot spod is by far the most accurate on the cast and retrieves straight. It opens more frequently than the spomb. The Fox one is utter garbage.

I prefer the laser guided exocet spomb with built in GPS. :D

Killed my spomb at weekend note to self don't clip up then go slightly to the left . As when u hit an airator they expose into a 1000 pieces
Absolutely nowhere has sold the spider for 10 quid lol
Prologic has now got the licence from TFG for the air spomb actually more expensive.

spider spod beats them all, tried everything, exept for tf gear

£12 ish for a Spomb or get a cheep one from china for £1.50 less painfull that way if you crack off.
I need to do that 😂
whats the best for holding liquids or a sloppy spod mix?
He mentioned that the spider spod holds sloppy spod mixes well
Fox spod is still crap and the hinges still brake. I've had 2, both broke on the first session of use
3ft twitch angling I think it’s great but yeah it always brakes after 10-15 casts
I also got fox impact spomb but it wil no always open so i glud some small metal plates in the front.now of works perfectly
Fox looks great, takes more load but opens 60% maybe. Spomb is much better. Also to bring it back spomb wins
What size dot spod is roughly the same size as the midi spomb?
Yes its a same size. Dot spod have a mini model...
The korda spod was the original.
A Wella shampoo bottle with holes drilled in the sides and a piece of polystyrene plugged in the end was the original we used back in the day 👍🏻
Serbian Dot Spod is no.1 then Midi Spomb is no. 2 😎
Fox spod is crap!!! First time out the plastic clip on the lid broke!!! Dot spod is great and best by a country mile
I prefer the Spomb.....
Literally just a blob.. I'll bet the fins look good more than they actually help
I dont know why so many people have problems with the fox one. I've got thousands of casts on mine and apart from it not opening everytime with lighter particle it's been perfect
Lucky you. I just bought one and it sucks. Luckily i just found spomb and found it much better
I love fox gear but I'd never buy another
Whitch is best?
I like the dot spod
How many times can you reinvent the wheel lol. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the original spomb.
Stick to a spod !
Sorry to say this, but the spider spod is absolut crap, you can't use it with small particles, it will open before impact every second cast, or you can't close it
what do you mean with small particles? used it with hemp/corn/tigernuts/boilies, no problems at all
Lol you need to make sure the mechanism is in place and you will be fine
Ukrainian drone operators are using these to drop grenades on ruzzians.
