Ridge Monkey RM-Tec Transmit Spod and Marker Braid - Green

While technically possible, it is not recommended. The high-visibility green color may spook fish, and the zero-stretch nature of the braid is unforgiving during the fight.

Because the braid has zero stretch, you should use a softer drag setting than you would with monofilament to prevent hook pulls.

Yes, its low diameter and floating nature help it slide over surface weed, making it easier to retrieve your spod.

Depending on usage, replace it once the high-visibility coating begins to fade significantly or if you notice any physical abrasions on the surface.

For spodding, yes. The force of casting heavy weights can cause a snap-off; a shock leader acts as a necessary buffer.

Check rod rings for ceramic inserts that may be cracked or damaged, as these can cut the braid during casting.

Ensure the line is not overfilled on the spool; leave a 2-3mm gap from the edge of the spool lip to prevent the braid from tangling.

The braid is designed to float, but excessive grime can weigh it down. Clean the line with a gentle detergent to remove silt and oil.
