After filling the spomb,i normally give the spomb a couple of shakes to shift the bait to the front [like you would do with the ketchup]for a better flight during the cast

Although it sounds obvious to many....My biggest tip for anyone new to spombing is make sure you stay within a range you are comfortable casting and HIT THE CLIP!! Casting the spomb short of the clip generally results in a splash of epic proportions!! Simply hitting the clip will ensure that the bulk of the force is taken away and the spod can land with far less disturbance.
Good tips. Thank you for that shared kwonledge. Lots of people believe it doesn't work in shallow waters. My tip:Let them believe because I had some great results with this tactic, using it on waters only 3 feet deep...
When i spomb with boillies i always mix it together with soms small pellets and crushed pop-ups. Hoping to also attract the carp in the higher level of the water.
To change spombs tie a big loop at the end of your shock leader big enough to pass a large spomb through then tie a tag end at the end of the loop for quick realise to change your spombs.
When spombing groundbait always make sure to form it into balls/eggs that will fit in the spomb if you want it to sink, if you try to scoop it in loose it'll hang in the upper/middle layers for ages and may not settle where you want it (potentially good for zigging).
Thank you Mark bartlett amazing vid nobody ever makes a spomb vid but with fox always producing the goods i 'm a fox guy always i love the fat you taught me what spomb to use and the float tip was ace and thanks for adding what rod to use and saftey with finger stall i 'm very confident using the spomb and correctly
If your using mono mainline on your fishing reels add 1 foot extra per 3 foot of water to allow for the swing back when you cast out. Gets your rig on the baited spot as opposed to short of it👍

small and medium spombs are perfect for use with actual fishing rods (maybe even better than a spod rod)... take your hooklink off, attach small-medium spomb to lead clip, cast spomb clipped up, put the hooklink back on, cast to exact same spot (no meassurments needed whatsoever)..very precise and practical for quick sessions or when setting up in dark...

Dry braid goes through the rings better than wet braid... on the retrieve i keep the braid dry only the first 10 yards or so after the leader i dip the tip to wet the braid to prevent wind knots frap ups.
when fishing with i mulch soaked boilies in my hand in y spodmix pat in down into the spomb then when it hits the clip it goes down in one clump away from the birds and then separates on the bottom
make sure to fill the spomb on the side where the red mechanism is because if you are particle fishing it will not close the spomb and it will open mid-flight :)
When you spomb watch out for the weights. Boilies, seeds, pellets have diffent weight. If you want to use the same force for the throwing mix the baits or add some liquid for the little pellets or seeds. So their weight will be the same.
Top tip when spombin please keep your braid nice and wet I keep an extra bucket full with water so after a couple of cast I splash the spool so it keeps the braid nice and wet for casting
If your spomb doesn't open on impact with the water, check there is no bait stuck in the front compartment where the red latch is. (this is usually the problem for it)
If fishing deep waterove 6ft for every 3.foot after that clip the spod back 1foot so the bait lands over your rods hope this helps works for me tight lines everyone
Ive added a glow in the dark heat shrink over the rear stem one of the ones you can charge up with a uv torch brilliant when the light is failing I also find if im using a very sticky mix adding a bit of a bait soak liquid to the inner of the spomb first gives a much better ejection for the bait And my final tip if you are putting out floaters and want the extra weight i have one that ive poped the sping arms off and clipped in a .5 oz inline square on both sides the extra oz is enough to boost the range but the float will still hold it up should you crack off only downside is you then cant do a concealed float and have to float the stem but as a trade off you still get more distance
I keep cracking off from the reel line clip how is the best way to clip the line pls as I think I'm doing it wrong... I've got a sonik spod rod 4.5lbtc a sonik 8000 sod reel a well know brand spod line and using a midi spomb... Pls help 😩
jimmy ball have the shock leader from ur hand to the tip of ur 12ft rod set up then down too the reel and two turns worth round the spool (so to answer your question its about 24-30ft) make sure the leader knot connected to your mainline is at the bottom of your spool after winding in to help prevent obstructions on the cast.
Paul Tym hi paul, since writing that iv played around with my tackle (lol) and suggest the leader be from the spigot (middle), to the tip, then bk down to the reel and 2-4 turns so about 22ft
It doesn’t matter but usually i put mine the length of the spod rod. So when I revisit a venue I can look in my phone for how many wraps I was fishing in a certain peg.
