What size spomb do you use?

What size spomb do you use and why? I've never used a sspomb/spod and am in the process of getting together all the kit. 

 

Thanks

If I am taking my spod rod medium 

if I am leaving that in the van and travelling light I use a small one on my carp rod

I have used all of them but tend to use the large nowadays simply as its quicker to get the bait out. If I have to top the spot up and I know the fish are still about I'll go down to the medium in an attempt to cause less disturbance.

It varies. I fish a local pond that is narrow at the stream end and fish 2 spots (2 rod limit), one under the trees on the far bank and one on the bottom of the steep drop off a rod length out. The close rod I use the big Spod (not keen on spombs as you have to hit the nose cap quite hard to open them) and underarm and drop the bait with barely a ripple. If I use the big spod on the far bank (only about 6 wraps), it does tend to make too much of a splash so revert to a midi as I can stop it instantly and lay it down almost silently. That said, I have had bites when using the large spod on the far bank and "sploshed it" and caught with the spod rod still in my hand!
