  2. I have one Muft . Never used it in an actual fishing situation but I have had a cast or ten over my local park lake a few afternoons when practising my spodding and it's much better than a Spomb imo , opens every time , the pigeon grub I was using doesn't get in the internals like a Spomb and casts really well . It was recommended to me by Mik ( Carprecheur) and I'm glad I invested in one whilst I had the spare cash . Also Dal swears by his . That will do for me , I've heard how well it opens but just wanted to know if it casts as well due to the shape not looking as aerodynamic as the spomb. I'll order one now.

    Xplode spomb type thingy

    French dude, Carpepecheur. I think he has used one for quite a while, well field tested by him.... they seem well made and reliable from reading his post about it.

  6. I can't remember who it was on the forum but most definitely someone on here that gave it a rave review(the yellow and black one*) I also can't remember which thread it was in, after seeing there review I had a look at them and could find nothing but excellent reviews! Not a very useful reply but I'm sure that "someone" will reply to this at some point.

    Leader/Leadcore

    On a weed and snag free lake a 10ft shock leader is not long enough, you need around 12 feet to prevent snap-offs. Again on a clear water where you need a fluorocarbon leader for 'invisibility', 10ft is around right I reckon. Sorry mate, I really think you need to think your arguments through properly. As an aside, and in response to Mooseman, I refuse to use Lead clips for various reasons. I don't often want to eject the lead, I use generic swivels, as in I don't buy one end tackle manufacturers bits, I have a variety that suits, and I don't think that I should be forced to buy overpriced swivels from Korda, Nash or Fox just to suit a lead clip, or I use a tail rubber for more than one purpose, and so have loads of tail rubbers, but why would I buy Nash tail rubbers when I already have plenty just to suit his lead clip. As he says, a lead clip tail rubber can be jammed on by a bit of weed, the leadcore on a pendant or inline set-up is a danger in itself, even if the lead comes off, the leadcore is an inherent trailing weight. Basically leadcore should only ever be used with a heli set-up, and even then, you have to be sure that the beads and rig can be ejected, as a kink can trap a standard bead, stopping the rib coming off the end. On that helicopter set-up, you actually rely on the lead NOT being ejected, so that rig CAN be ejected!
