Spoppers

It's far more accurate to fish a mesh bag , clipped on the lead, without your hook air
Surely , no one's used a spopper ,on a river for 5 yrs.

Seriously??? Using a spopper is one of the most efficient and accurate methods of bait delivery. I use them all the time on rivers and lake

 

[Jim Gregory]

On a lake maybe, but why use a spopper on a lake , when you can use a spomb?

 

[Jim Gregory]

When your spoppers fully loaded. It probs weighs about 7 to 9 oz, I bet you don't use the same weight on your rig , so not that accurate

 

[Jim Gregory]

That's on a river obviously?

You say it's "one of the most efficient and accurate methods of bait delivery".
But it's not .
The most efficient and accurate methods of bait delivery is the angler.

Yeah with a spopper as their baiting tool….sorry mate but completely disagree with you on this one. Spopper is far superior to a spomb on a lake imo….simply because it delivers small areas of bait very quickly and accurately which can mimic your bait and pva bag presentation very well; and a method not many others angler use, preferring the usual bog standard carpet baiting with a spomb

I won’t go barbel fishing without one and the same respect I didn’t go barbel fishing without a bait dropper before Spoppers came on the scene.

They cast like arrows, sink like stones and can deposit a lot of bait on the bottom very quickly and accurately.

If yours are opening prematurely or not opening at all, there is probably something wrong with the device.

My personal favorite is the 2oz mini spopper. It’s absolutely brilliant for discreetly putting out a small handful of bait with minimal disturbance in one cast and rest.

Anyone that can use them effectively, will definitely get improved results from their use

Returning to my original question after Jim’s multiple posts. Can anyone recommend somebody who is making and selling spoppers?

@Richard Isaacs makes top quality ones….the shop on this site sometimes stocks them (maybe ask @Andy Frances when next in) look on eBay too, converted fox spombs but very expensive. Take my advice though and don’t but the Korum ones - they don’t last
Paul Fisk on Facebook I believe also does them but not used his myself (although his feeders are great)

Hi Richard, if you ever get round to making some more of the mini size spoppers I’ll take two off you mate

Thanks, Alan, that’s very helpful
