Carp Fishing Tackle Review: The Daiwa Emblem Spod Reel

By John Deo


We carp fishermen are a breed apart. Stalking this noble fish is something I truly relish. In some Asian cultures, the carp is considered sacred, and figures prominently in myth and legend. So when I hook one, I treat it with all due respect and care. To accomplish this, I like to have the best tackle I can afford. Since I'm on a bit of a budget, I need the money I spend on carp fishing tackle to stretch as far as possible. For that reason, I'm very partial to Daiwa products. They seem to embody a perfect balance between price and performance. Here's some information about a Daiwa reel I'm quite partial to: the £139.99 Emblem spod model.

Carp Fishing Tackle: Major Facets of the Daiwa Emblem Spod Reel

Since spodding is a technique that's designed to send bait out to farther distances with great precision, I use it only when I'm planning an extended fishing session. This is so because the repeated splashing and winding in of the spod is likely to spook the very fish I'm trying to catch. I've found the Emblem spod reel to be the best I've ever used, largely because of a superior design that's based in part on Daiwa's legendary Emblem Pro reel. This great piece of carp fishing tackle retrieves over 100cm of line for each turn of the handle, and has an oversized ABS spool that allows the line to pay out with extreme smoothness. Another feature I appreciate is the line clip that effectively cushions even the strongest cast.

Following repeated practice (and irritation!), I've figured out that I should cast my spod rocket just around 150 yards. What difference does it make? Actually, the farther your bait is cast, the less prone the fish are to be scared away. If I am getting my tackle together for a spodding outing, I frequently take along my Emblem reel for the reason that it has so many outstanding facets. Case in point, CastLock will assure that, during your cast, the opened bail is locked in place. Auto Cast II is a pioneering element I am very partial to; with merely the push of a button on the bottom of the reel, a person can make the rotor turn and stop at the most effective spot to accommodate line pick up and also bail opening. Also, this reel boasts four premium ball bearings, including 1 CRBB (corrosion resistant ball bearing), plus worm gear oscillation.

Carp Fishing Tackle: Conclusion Regarding the Daiwa Emblem Spod Reel

The fishing reel has a weight of 24.3 ounces; it will accommodate 280m of 15lb test line. The twin line clips are another one of my favourite features. It has a folding handle, plus Daiwa's trendy Twist Buster. My Emblem has a cost of £159.99, but you might find special discounts on the internet or at neighbourhood tackle stores. The way carp fishing tackle goes, I am especially fond of this reel. You should try it.
