Actually they are back, but price in US dollars now

Sort of sp*mb

This new version looks an ugly looking bugger tho'

New sp*mb?


However, this statement is at the end of the sellers terms:

Import cutoms duties or taxes which are not included in item price, if any, are on buyer's responsibility. You can check with your local customs office for further information prior to bidding/buying.

Might be a concern

Normally I would agree with you 100% about cheap Chinese imports, some very dangerous like the lead paint in toys a few years ago and dodgy electrical goods.

However, in this case partly due to the attitude of the 'spomb' company recently and also why would a chinese company bother to copy a carp fishing product like this that cannot be a mass market product I think they deserve all they get.

I suspect the chinese ones are prob' made in the same factory / sweat shop as the ones they sell.

Just for info' my two links will not work now, but any flea bay search for :

Portable Deep Water Beach Carp Fishing Floating Bait Rocket Spod Spomb Carp Bomb

Will bring up loads of options, sorry spomb but I think you have lost a lot of good will and more importantly we have seen how much they actually are costing to make!

Rant over, tight lines

For that money, I wouldn't be to bothered

Funny enough I did try to look on the official spomb site and can't get on it, wonder if their chinese manufacturers - allegedly - have stolen their market for those who search for them?

Seems like there are loads of them out there:

Deep water beach carp

Deep water beach carp 2

Good for you mate,

Well done with your 8 posts btw

As it is now St Piran's Day, maybe give your evidence of the 80 plus waters that you say have been affected by otters to younger guns to get your stuff on social media mate?

So are you saying there are no venues - except the one's you know are fenced - that are worth fishing now in kernow?
