As any experienced angler knows, weed growth really ramps up around this time of year. That clear swim you fished a few weeks ago might now look like a green jungle. But that doesn't mean you should avoid it. In fact, this is exactly when you need to step up and adapt your approach.
At Commando Tackle, we are excited to launch our brand new Recon Spod and Marker Braid. This is a must-have for anglers who want to stay ahead of the game when weed levels are high. It helps you locate those hidden clear spots that often hold fish when other areas are choked with weed.
Why finding spots among the weed is crucial
During the summer months, fish tend to sit in and around weedy areas. They use the cover for protection and are more likely to feed in clear patches surrounded by weed. These spots are like gold dust. If you can find one and present your bait there, you massively increase your chances of getting a bite.
The key is feature finding, and that is where the Recon Braid really shines. With no stretch and a fine diameter, it gives you incredible sensitivity. You can feel every bump, every transition, and every little detail on the lakebed. That means you can accurately locate small clearings or harder areas among the weed.
Introducing the Recon Spod and Marker Braid
Our new braid has been built for performance. It is ultra-smooth, strong, and casts like a dream. The high-visibility orange colour makes it easy to track across the surface, and the 20lb breaking strain gives you the confidence to cast heavy marker floats without worry.
Each spool contains 300 metres, which is plenty for most spod or marker setups. Whether you are mapping out a tricky estate lake or an overgrown gravel pit, this braid helps you stay in control and keep your edge. Click here to view the Recon Braid
