The xplode does seem well made and is solid, with a spare release catch as standard, floats etc... Pretty much is everything the impact should be!

I've an xplode as well, feel a bit bad, as seems like morally taking away from what seems to be a good small british company (spomb) but I have a mini spomb and won't be buying anything else spomb wise so I think my karma is ok. Xplode is good, works well re one handed loading find it needs to be cast with a high curve so it lands square on the nose or it won't open and can be effort to reel back in when I can't get it to skip on the surface. If the impact spod had confident reviews I think itd be better than the xplode and I'd buy one but not until the general view is all faults are sorted. I think Fox have royaly messed up their rep for a while though!!

Oooh didn't realise they were finally out

Yeah good post Mr AK

The problem with jumping is everyone responds to it, if you could strain your GUEST's to ignore her it'd be fine! I'm the only problem one mine doesn't jump to at the door as she knows shebwont get a response. I'd defo try the aircan, I'd be confident that'd sort the jumping

As Nick said compressed air, I've a terrior, the aircan is amazing only have to say no, give it a squeeze once or twice and from then on just say no and show the can, has stopped barking totally

Ok I need to read slower! Are you saying what stuff to buy or what can be used? If it's what you've already got go for the stiffest stuff you have, personally I wouldn't be confident that standard mono off the reel would be stiff enough

As nm said if you've got the mouthtrap already I use that for the whole rig. Got to say mouthtrap is one of the few korda products that I've yet to find a better alternative too. Really like it, stiff but easy enough to tie and zero memory

Wow! Lovely!!
