I am after some advise on serving up a Spod rod with preferably some sort of clip that I can attach to my braid that will let me change between different Size spombs but also allow me to connect my deeper
Any advise on what clip would do the job?
Thanks in advance for any advise

Just tie a big loop in the end of the braid, then you can loop on different size spods, a deeper, or a lead and then marker to use it as a marker set up. No need for any clips at all

Absolutely agree with post 2. Nice big fig8 loop is what you need. Nice little tweek is to tie a small half ins loop in the end of the big loop. Makes change overs a doddle even in the dark with wet cold fingers. Also a real help when fishing solid bags on stems or leaders.

Hi IP
Thanks I know how to tie a figure of 8 but I don't know how to tie a loop inside that and how it helps with quick changing

Just tie the big loop. Go to the end away from the knot and using both strands as you would normally do just tie another small loop. The end of the small loop is now the end you thread through the swivel or leader/stem loop and will pull the big loop after it. Use the big loop as normal and ignore the little tag loop. If the braid pulls up tight on the swivel or leader loop and beds in from use just tug the tag and it will loosen every thing up making life much easier.
Hope this makes sense. Make one up and play. All will be clear. Much simpler than it sounds.

I use a 6" 50lb Pike Trace connected to a double 25kg Snap Link. It's great, I just swap between my Chirp and a Midi Spomb this way.
Note pic for illustration only, its normally connected on the lowest thread.

I personally use a snap link (cant remember the size its either 4,5 or 6) are used in pike and sea fishing alot. Havent had 1 break in the last 2 years using it. Tied to the shock leader/line with a palomar knot and tag end blobbed with a lighter. Makes changing from spod, deeper or bare lead super easy/quick. I had previously used the figure of 8 and mini loop which was excellent but just preferred the mechanical quick change
Just make sure the snap link passes through the end ring so you can pack the rod/reel away

Tie the big loop you ordinarily would (fig 8 knot) and then at the end of the large loop you've created, just tie a small loop with a fig 8 knot. Use the little loop to pull the compressed line from you swivel.
