I'm lucky as there aren't that many on the lakes I fish.

Have to agree. On my lakes you need to bait up after dark unless you use a spod or spomb. One shallow lake 5 to 7 ft with very wily fish a spomb is the kiss of death. Use it and you might as well go home I less you are doing a session of several days and prepared to wait 2 days for a bite.

Cannot beat the use of a float when boilie fishing imo. just the visual is great. Most people turn to the spomb to combat the gulls, but if you wait until just before dark you can still get them out no issues. Defo an edge as a lot of fish in most lakes don't see the spread baiting scenario anymore because of the gulls.

My Bruce Ashby Rocketeer and marker rods are as new as the day I bought them .
Don't fish huge lakes anymore and truthfully hate the brigade who thrash it to a foam .

Definitely going to shift my spod,marker kit,I'll keep a mini spomb for short range hemp on a carp rod..
If I can't sell it ,will just give it away....

I use a remote controlled Lancaster bomber. It can drop 5 kg of bait in an area of about 100 square yards.

Very rarely see a spomb used on one of my two waters, I will still use one for hemp & rolled porridge oats even though I fish at less than 20m distance. A catapult just doesn't get the hemp out that far tbh. I use the small cheap generic Chinese spombs on an old battered 3.5lb tc rod, an old emblem & 40lb braid from China...perfect

This is my preference too - except with particles and then I feel as tho I have no choice but to spomb.
However, if I get the chance to prebait when I'm not fishing then I will use a spomb because then I can get a lot of bait in a smaller area and I'll be back in a day or two to hopefully fish that same spot with basically a small mesh bag of crumb over hopefully a good area.

I'm quite partial to absolutely saturating boilie crumb in added hydros and tiger slime with a few nuts mixed in. I prefer a spomb for this mix.
It may just be one spomb worth going out there or it might be a whole bucket of mix but often when actually fishing it's less for me
