You used to be able to buy a repair kit direct from fox for the spomb for around a fiver it isnt cheap for what you get the spring you need swivel assembly and think it also had the small spring and red catch.
If they are still available it would reduce the cost of buying newcomplete ones

It still amazes me how bad spombs are made but people are still using them and paying loads of money for them... some will even argue how they never fail... and all that **** about patent rights and threats to anyone making anything better will go down in history as legendary.

When spomb still owned it they sent the repair kits out free. I had a few but the spombs were never as good as new when i replaced the springs..
They break far to easy but i havent found a better bait deliver Method at range. I tried Nash dot spomb and thats ok but i found it heavy to retrieve when putting 30-40 spombs in and a touch too small.

I know this is an old thread but has anyone tried the new Wolf tri spod X competition, the old medium sized Wolf spod was a pain on the retrieval , anyone tried the new version ?

Not tried the new tri spod, but I got a couple of the China knock offs of the 4 way wolf spod.
They cast well and open well.

I bought the night glow one, I used it and when it casts well it flies,however I did have quite a few weird casts where the spod would do this horrible wobbly sideways thingand it failed to hit the clip. a friend suggested to give it a shake before casting but I'm not convinced yet.
I'm off to sandhurst this week nmbut don't plan on baiting heavy but if I do I'll.let you know

You definitely want to give the X spods a shake down after loading to get everything down into the nose. When loaded like this they fly really well.

Can't remember if it was ali or temu.
they close just fine.
I was spombing to about 70yds, and filled with water to get it out to the mark so I could clip up and it sealed the water in OK.
To get it to fly better give your pellets a bit of a wet to add some weight, and give it a little shake to compact the weight into the nose.

Not yet but have 2 on their way, hopefully they managed to dial out the niggles with the 4 piece version. which I rate and have posted about previously. Fingers crossed..!

I think this one was always meant to be smaller than the original Wolf spod , around the size of a medium spomb, or Nash dot spomb, or is it smaller than that

Feels smaller than nash dot but because of the shape it might hold similar amount of bait

I thought the same. Went into the shop to buy 2 and left them. Definitely smaller than the midi spombs
