You can adjust the spread depending how big you want it, my starting point was to set it 3 rod lengths short but if you want a closer spread use 2 rod lengths etc. Takes a bit of getting used too but if you want to be different to everyone else use an airbomb. I haven't seen anyone use one ever other than me 🤣

Always wanted to try the Airbomb. Il give it a go this summer 👍

Have both tbh, the biggun is best for boilies but they will both get some bait on the spot, remember you need to set your clip between 2-3 wraps shorter(depends how you hit the clip etc but it's great for making a spread, and cast it like you would your normal spod.

Thanks for the info 👍

Been having a look on YouTube seems straightforward to use. I can see it being perfect for getting out mixes beyond catty range many’s a time you get them feeding then the breeze picks up in your face and that’s the end of that. I fancy trying out an adjustable zig with a floater at distance….it’s going to open a lot of water to go at 👍

Good idea, I've been toying with the idea of zigs and floaters this year and not dropping a spomb right on their head seems a good idea 😉

The Korda style spod which I used way back to get floaters out you hit the clip lower the rod and you hardly cause a ripple. It worked but there was not much of a spread ….Got to be a hell of a lot of the old spods in sheds around the country gathering dust

Much less ploppy than a spomb really weren't they,certainly could be more stealthy, I have used one from time to time I got a sky raider a couple of years ago, it never took much to get the contents stuck in them though, well all the spod spill would come out obvs 😂

Got rained off from work today so having a sort out, found 4 korda spods which I had taped up the bottom half that was for the hemp , chops went above then a little ground bait gently pushed in to keep it tidy. Tuff work winding it back in as the spod would hold the water in.
