I did this in a field behind my house with some cheap chinese spombs. Funnily enough they got smashed to pieces after half a dozen casts 😂. Taped them up as best i could but managed to destroy half a dozen before i gave it up as a bad & potentially expensive idea. Maybe if the ground was softer I would have got more casts out of each one 🤷♂️.

Those are just made from low grade plastic and quite thin.
I've seen a good few damaged just on water.

I did this with an original spomb, and as long as I hit the clip there were no issues at all .

The spomb is about 3 foot from the rod tip before casting
Far better and accurate when near or just above the spigot

A year old Spomb Spomb the closing mechanism came out of one of mine on hitting the water, and possibly the lakebed. Spombing over 4ft of water, reeled in and the mechanism was missing.
I did ask Spomb if they could supply a new mechanism, and how much it would cost, could fit it myself. No reply from them.
Not like they were losing out as I'd bought a couple of replacements already.

They used to offer a replacement catch kit IIRC....less than a fiver.
You would not have got a reply...at that time they were too busy arguing with all and sundry on
Faceache about their intellectual copyrights .
Funny when they were bought out the new owners dropped all that nonsense.

keep everything as smooth and fluid as possible.
spomb inline with the spigot, smooth motion through the cast.
tip up just before the spomb hits the clip to cushion it,.
