I want to do some of this, I'm just thinking of putting some bait in a spomb and taping it up so it doesn't open, does that sound about right or this there a better option?

Might get away with it if you hit the clip, but I imagine dropping short would smash it to smithereens!

If you had a bucket of water and a spider spod (or whatever they call them now!) you should get away with it.

Why not use a rubber ball like they do at these casting arenas at the winter shows

Once saw a guy and his young lad practicing on a local reservoir, he was filling his spomb up with small stones.

One way to create a gravel spot out there I suppose.

Chum mixer and 3 on a spot. Last week I had a Golden Retriever, a couple of staffies and low double Yorkshire terrier. Saw a couple of huge Rottweilers feeding cautiously on the edge of the spot so will be going back at some point.

Go down there with the Rubber ball method as mentioned. I'm sure you'll get some action..

I find the dynamics of casting a spomb are totally different to casting a lead

Anyway, thanks everyone for nothing

Since found an old FB post by TE where he explains how to do it

What about one of those whistling Rugby ball things you throw with flights. There almost spomb shaped..

If you have some of those cheap spombs then go for it
As you said tape it up with bait in and Chuck it out
Not sure how many slaps into the ground it would actually stand before it smashed to pieces
Was just thinking cheap alternatives lol

I've done this before, as long as you hit the clip it's fine , but take extra tape, and bait or pellets as the tape eventually breaks and you lose the bait. I used a normal midi spomb .
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
