I'd want a big salty pair in a sack for that money.

It looks well made, and normally I can try to justify price but 74.99 is insane for a ball maker, for fishing it's just over engineered, would like to see a cheaper version put together.. if it was around 25quid I might be tempted ..

Fox paste bomb, in-line and swivel models
Please give the plastic corn a wide berth, especially on a dedicated long distance outfit

They do them up to around 60 mm so that will weigh a fair amount.
Balance it up with the right kit and technique and it “COULD”be achievable

Dunno mate. I don't think anything that doesn't go round the lead method style could make anywhere near 150 due to drag?

Agreed. Maybe Terry Edmonds could do it, not sure he'd recommend it to anyone though lol

Might change tack on this instead of using a method feeder is go the other way... simple.. fluoro leader, running rig and fluoro hooklink on a D rig.
I have a cunning plan for baiting differently though which will take a lot of effort but something they wont have seen b4

4.5 oz 150yds I hope your allowed to use a shock leader.

Also if you can constantly hit 150yds you should be able to hit the spot close enough.

Yup using a shockleader. No fishing for a while now
What I need to do is practice getting the spod further. 38wraps without wind is about my limit with the spod at the moment. With a wind behind 40 wraps.
Nearing on 170 with a wind behind with the rod.

Unbelievable watching a guy casting a spod 210 yards consistently on the lake... crazy mad
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
