Agreed
I reckon there's some confirmation bias going on here.
Because is says Spomb on the side and costs a least 6 times as much it MUST be far superior

Just put 5kg out with mine, only didn't open 4 casts in total and that happens with the real spomb so all good

Used an 'official' one for a 8 day trip recently, approx 1 out of 6/7 casts did not open, so no different from chinese spods.

I actually trimmed the catch down on mine a bit later on, since used it and no issues at all!

Got mine today. It looks identical to the Spomb I have, even down to the swivel used. Only difference is that it doesn't say Spomb. Bargain for £1.84 delivered.

Mine arrived as well. Not perfect but will do the job nicely. Will change swivels and reshrink the wire. Bargain at £5.85 for 3.

I've got a legit one too but honestly I prefer spods or just a catapult. Even the real version doesn't open if you even slightly hit the clip. End up making a right old noise reeling a full spomb in and recasting.

My copies came today and seem to be fine
My only problem is I received the large size instead of a midi.
Has anyone received a midi size, if so what was the ebay sellers name?
Thanks

"I wonder what these are like"

Crap. I have two of them and received a refund without return. The spring is too stiff so they don't open on impact with the water. I may have a play with them at some point to see if I can get them working...
