What does everyone use? And thoughts on the four options.
I used to have a Spomb, in fact I've had two or three but was fed up with them breaking so went back to a conventional Spod, the only problem with a Spod is the amount that ends up coming out on a cast (does anyone have a way of loading it so this doesn't happen?).

x spod for me, found it more reliable at opening than a spomb. Also generally easier on the retrieve as skims over the surface.

You can plug the top with some groundbait or vitalin if you can still get it.I find the wolf spomb the best out of all of them

Couple of pieces of the hook foam in my case
I used to have bin bags of the stuff, at work chemicals we got were packed with them.

I prefer Dot Spod to og Spomb - easier to load one handed and cast, plus it opens more consistently. Have a first edition wolf spomb and whilst its versatile I find it can wobble in flight so on this basis rarely use it

Found the X spod to be the most reliable at opening for me, however they don't cast as far as a spomb, and I've broken a few on the cast, the link snaps off
Having tried most of them I prefer the Wolf. Never had a problem casting it at distance and reliable in opening. Retrieves well too.

I prefer the dot, the spomb is decent but a pain when it doesn't open. The wolf Flies really well and retrieves brilliantly but opens on the cast too much for my liking

That Fox Orange and Grey thing, absolute dog****, I was actually quite pleased when I lost it.
Wolf under 100 yards or dot spod if I need to get further.

Spomb for me and the best of the bunch IMO......

Dot spod all day long. Flies the best and most consistent opening
I bought 2 wolfs and gave them away after 20 mins use, awful in flight and didn't open on 25% of casts. Spomb fly well but opening a big problem.

I wish they would make a larger one. Thats the smallest i got.
Cast very good, does not wobble in flight, opens everytime and retrieves very easy.
Wolf x spod is very good for hemp and small pellets, no parts that can get clocked up.
Flies ok and opens up almost every cast, got some who did not, but that could be more a problem with casting.
Retrieves also very good.
Spomb, everyone knows them, they are great, skips funny over the surface while reeling in though.
The Fox ones are good, but retrieving sucks because it catches the water in the top of it.

For those questioning the opening of the Spomb, if you didn't know, the closing latch is reversable, one way is harder to open than the other.
