I used a bombarda slow sinking 15 gram for the first time at a pier ,so a lot rocks and boulders there. It helps me a lot to keep my gear complete without getting stuck and loose my lead or snagging my headline. I lost my bombarda because my tangling was too much for my line and snapped. Tomorrow i'm going to buy sinking,slow sinking and a floating one. This is really something for me for seabass,pike and pike-perch. I'm hooked!
Hope you go well. I also use the bombarda on a broken and rocky bottom as a running ledger with good success. It is really effective on a soft bottom because unlike lead, it doesn't sink into the mud. Please let me know how you go. Stay well hooked !
Use these a lot for coastal fishing here in Denmark. Using a tapered fly leader really helps with the tangles. I most often use a 25g, because the best sea trout fishing is from the lee shore when it's blowing a hoolie...
Yes I've noticed a lot of use in Denmark, Norway and Scotland for sea trout. Looks like great fun. The tapered leader makes sense. But I have to admit I've never been a fan of tapered leaders even when dry fly fishing. On bought leaders you lose a bit each time you change flies. And on home made knotted leaders the knots are potential weak links. But they do make a difference to the roll over and maybe every bit of advantage helps.
The pre rigged bombardas are great, if you fish places youre unfamiliar with, makes it easy to change out floats according to depth and so on. But i have to say, that having the bombarda, straight on the main line is far more sensitive of a setup
Nice channel and very useful video. Only recenty learned about bombarda fishing. Seems to combine the advantage of fishing mobile flies with ease of use of spinning tackle. Very popuar in Scandinavia, Southern Europe and increasingly UK for catching not only trout but a wide range of predatory fish species in both fresh and saltwater. Makes you wonder why so little used here in Aus?
Thanks for your kind comments. I find a lot of Australian anglers are very conservative in their thinking and approaches. When people see me using the Bombarda they are fascinated and amazed, but still don't adopt it. There are some anglers here in WA fishing for Bream who won't even use soft plastics. I'm happy to share my experience and I've been using the Bombarda here for years to great success.

Great information… many thanks.. do you recommend sinking or floating bombardas?
For light lure or flys
I only use sinking. They sink slowly but they naturally lift in the water upon retrieve. I use with flies and with lures.
Thank you..
😊

Yes I agree. I've been experimenting lately with soft plastics instead of wet flies and that is definitely true. Thanks for the feedback and comments.

Where can I get one?
You can get them online, but I have an ad on Gumtree as I bought more than I need. Mates rates and I'm not making anything on them.
