This is a great spod. I always used to use the gardner bait shuttle but last carp season I broke the nose. so I decided to get the korda skywinder. I could not be any happier. with a good 5.0 test curve dedicated spod rod you can easily cast this spod 150 yards accurately. its tapered aerodynamic design plays a big part in its amazing accuracy. Another great feature of this spod is that there are not many holes in it. This makes it possible to deliver maggots and other small particles at range with reduced spillage. This is another great product from korda.
