I haven't yet seen any mention on here of this new spod/spomb, but saw them available and thought it was worth a punt having found fox/spomb/dot all having issues of differing sorts. So, I tried the Italian 'Spider' spod this weekend for the first time, and at last a device that works! Easy to load, flies well - far better than dot, opens 100% of the time even when it lands flat on the water i.e. not nose first, no fiddly clip for hemp and bits to stop from closing as it is held closed by magnets, and super easy retrieve, as good as dot, far better than spomb, and well, Fox, let's not go there.. Highly reccomended.. (No affiliation either btw..)

How is the retrieval, as with four leaves it looks like it will plough?

Not at all, as I said retrieve is very easy, only the dot compares to this one.

My mate uses these. He also rates them.
I fiddled with it and couldn't see it opening every time but in use it certainly does.

With Fox buying Spomb and Nash taking in the Dot Spod, this might be Korda's chance to get in on the "Battle of the Spods".

I thought the same Yonny, but in use so far (maybe 30 casts) every one opened on impact, you can actually hear it open.

That was my thought too Iggy, just waiting for a green and black version with specs on it now..

I like the look of the crash ball and crash ball cx version as well.
They look to be an innovative company, is it possible to purchase any of their products here in the UK ?

I got mine off ebay Scar, arrived within a couple of days so assumed the seller is UK based, but don't know if any of the online shops will get them, hopefully they will.
