They might look the same but the quality is dire, had a few and they didn't last 5 minutes

I find that you may have to file down some of the edges a little but after doing that I've not had a problem

I have around 1 in 15 Spombs fail to open (large version), and I usually put that down to a crappy low cast rather than the Spomb itself. Done a few 48hr sessions on a heavily stocked lake over the last few months hammering out buckets of slop over zigs, so it's had plenty of use as well.

Ordered 2 from Temu. Both broke at the hinge almost immediately, neither lasted 10 casts.

I have loads of spombs as I stocked up on them in the early days as I never wanted to be caught short losing them, so far I have never lost one. Most of them though are from Ebay, and not one of them has broke. When it comes to them not opening, I find the only time they do not is when they hit the water flat due to a bad cast or I am clipped up to hit the "swim", I find it better to add a few extra yards to the clip and just cast directly at the marker float, if I hit the clip, its because I have overcast and hopefully the spomb does not open and I draw it back to the marker float and then let it sink to the bottom giving line. Towing the line behind it falls nose first and opens on the bottom like a "dropper" if it is a hard bottom.
But, my preferred choice is the Prologic Air Bomb, the only problem with them is they either work or they do not which makes them frustrating. I can do about 20 casts with them, and then all of a sudden they open far too early every cast or not at all for no reason so it becomes embarrasing if anyone is watching. So take it off, and stick a spomb on. Next day, put the "Air Bomb" back on and it works perfectly again.....that is for so long and they stop working again. They have a mind of their own.
