Agree mate love the one handed filling up, don't use anything else and personally don't like the spider spods either because of that

You can fill the spider spomb with one hand and its easier to close,it casts better and is alot easier to retrieve.

I only used the spider thing for one trip, found the dot spod better personally. I might try the bigger one tho, it'll be better than the large spomb at least

I agree with duggs I personally prefer the dot spod found it a lot better (I have both) the spyder stays at home now only time I'll use it again is if I lose my dot spod

Korda Heli Safes - lost countless leads reeling in

What are you using with them ? 8oz+ leads? I have used them with 5oz leads frequently since they were released & NEVER lost a lead on the retrieve.

Korda Krank hooks - snapped on a low double (size 4)

Probably not hooked properly for that to happen.


With that list of items, have you thought about taking up golf or something else that suits your "finesse"?

Another vote for the fox stratos baitrunners why fox never did a recall on them I'll never no lasted me about 13 months then packed up.

They did, but only for the shops. I was doing some work in one of the shops when the fax from Fox came through asking the shops to pull the off the shelves & return for a credit note. This would have been around 2007ish from memory

Had mine since the day they came out not a problem at all, neither have a lot of people but I'm sure this thread will now turn into a delkim bashing thread, if you have them and don't like them that much sell them and buy your fox ones back pretty simple. Although they have been a few people having the same problem with the fox rx+ aswell

I used to fish with a guy that made rain covers for his alarms out of coke bottles cut in half with a section cut out in the middle so they slid over the rod. Bit of leadcore with the lead stripped out attached the bottle to his buzzbars so when he lifted into a fish they would pop off and then hang down as to not fly away. Made me laugh inside every time I visited his swim. Needless to say he wasn't a tackle tart.
