it certainly looks good but what makes the doors open.

Size wise is this like a Large or Medium Spomb?

In reply to Post #30
Having used mine quite a lot since I started this post, I can class the spider as medium to long range, and requires the impact speed to open consistently , which it does 99.5% of the time anything over 13-14 wraps. For under this,I find the midi spomb preferable, especially when under arming to marginal spots ( or the fox one for this). The one thing with the spider is that it has not opened on launch once, in maybe over 1000 casts so far. Size is between midi and large spomb, probably closer to large.

Iv not had the chance to look at one of these in the flesh yet what does the spring inside do?

2 questions unanswered, Paul, can you help

In reply to Post #34
Sure, the spring pushes a circular 'spreader ' that pops the spomb open upon imact, located in the tail end of the unit so does not get blocked with small particle bits etc.

There we are answered 2 questions in one
Thanks Paul

Thanks couldn't work out if it was to open it or hold it closed haha... seems like a lot to go wrong to me?

No, far less to go wrong m8..

Been asked about the size and volume of these a bit so thought the pics below might be of help.. As you can see the spider is smaller than a large spomb with a bit more internal volume than a midi, i.e. it is slightly larger diameter..

My spider spod was opening ok on impact at just over four wraps, overhead cast with micro pellet. Quite pleased with it. Micro pellet and hemp was constantly get caught under the lip of the Dot spod, and wouldn't close. Resulting in doing my head in.

I've sold. My spombs and the 2 dot spods I had, since using the spider. Simply, the best baiting tool I've used. Flies dead true. Opens every single time even when you hit the clip and lay it onto the surface, lightly.

Easy to load, good weight of bait, retrieves superbly. It's what all others will aspire too. Awesome bit of kit.

Totally agree, robust, great at range and flies out there... Puts the others well in the shade 😁

I found the spider very good for short/medium work but any distance it struggled. Could put the spombs/dot/fox alot further

In reply to Post #41
See I'm the opposite I really don't like the spyder spod and don't even bother taking it now, much prefer the dot spod
