Spodding (my way) By Samantha

(All loaded & ready to go)
On one of the lakes I fish you need to place your baits out a good old distance and in a good size amount. But not having to worry too much about placing them exactly on the same spot every time but being able to create numerous feeding beds. So my initial approach was to opt for a simple throwing stick, and dot boiles around a marker, but soon came to realise that it was an option that had serious disadvantages. On one hand there is the limit to the bait that can be used and on the other hand there is the annoyance of seagulls. Many of you reading this most
likely at some point have experienced seagulls picking up your boilies in mid air or as they hit the water. Gulls have come to recognise the sound of the boilie as it
leaves the throwing stick and quickly gather in large flocks
ready to pick up the bait in flight; those baits that escape are soon picked off as soon as they hit the surface of the water. Therefore I decided to give myself more of a fighting chance and get the trusty spod out.
(Gulls that’s what you get when living by the sea!)
Reader’s Query: Czech Republic

Hi! My query is as to transport boilies, if availble fresh boilies to the Czech Republic, when delivery boilies is three days, or rather shelf-life.
Thanks Jack.

Hi Jack,
Our Quest Baits shelf life boilies are made from identical ingredients to the fresh frozen, the only difference being the type of egg used and the drying process.
These days I rarely use fresh frozen baits myself. Knowing what goes into our Quest Baits range I have no problems at all with the shelf life baits as we don’t use any of those bitter/sweet nasty preservatives that many other companies use and what has ended up giving shelf life baits a bad name.

Reader’s Query: Fresh or Shelf-Life Baits for Air Drying?

When air drying boilies to re-hydrate in hemp juice is it best to use fresh or shelf life baits.
Shaun Harrison replies:
Hi Richard,
I have air dried both shelf life baits and fresh frozen for re-hydration purposes. Originally I only ever used to use fresh frozen baits so all of my early experiments were with these. I did prefer to freeze them down first though before starting to air dry them as this speeds the process of air drying. (more…)
