So size wise it’s pretty much identical to a Midi X Spomb, weirdly it looks smaller in the pic but they are pretty much the same size.

It is, before Wolf took it on. They were decent but so far this one is the one I'm using most and ordered a spare for when the inevitable happens..!

I got one of the first batch, been using it for a couple of months and compared to the wolf and Spombs, I prefer it. I did have to mod it slightly to get it to open every cast by chamfering the 4 body segments along their edges; mainly to create disruption when impacting with the water, it worked well and pretty much every cast since has been spot on. I did a thread on the original Spyder spod, and I think maybe the wolf versions added on to that, my experience is that this new Italian version is an improvement, in terms of size, retrieve which is excellent and the stem definitely stops it nose diving, but also it flies straight without any wobble to send it off line. The other thing is it goes a long way, further than I expected.. Not cheap when you add shipping however,

Having watched a few videos this seems even better than the original that wolf bought out. Not sure what the stem extension is about tbh. Capacity looks pretty decent. May have to purchase one to for it a test.

Is this not the original version of the spider spod that wolf tackle ended up buying the rights for in the UK? Looks like some minor tweaks, stem being longer and fins being more squared off.

I wish I’d bought more of the originals before wolf got involved. One of the best bits of kit I’ve ever bought tbh.
