I used it on my last trip . I was using the medium and and hitting the distance comfortably but it was taking to long to put the bait out . When I swapped over to the midi X I was still able to hit the mark . I couldn't hit the spots with the large .

From what I gather it will perform exactly as you would expect distance wise , somewhere between midi and large

Are you all using a shockleader for the larger sized spods? Only used the smallest size straight through to 30lb braid but would imagine you might need a shockleader for a fully loaded big one.

Hey m8, i used the new midi x last 3 nights. When it comes to long range spoding i quite like the size more than the old spomb i feel like it flies really similar to the old one, it has a bit more wobble mid air as well . Tho in those 3 days 3 times it didnt open upon impact so no change there. Other than that its good.

When it comes to shockleaders i always use some thick braid never breaks or anything of sorts. So yes.

I use 50lb braid straight through for my spombing, about 25 wraps for large spombs and 30 wrapd for the midi, I havent had any issues though when I used 20lb braid to 45lb braided leader I had no end of issues/Frap ups!!

What knot are you using to connect the shock leader to your braid? Back to back grinner?

This could be the lighter braid trying to overtake the heavier shockleader braid as it comes off the spool. I changed shockleader material to combat this and it has worked so far
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
