New Bait Bomb

[bluerinse]

Designed in Coventry at the university, has the advantage of creating a cloud of bait near the bottom as opposed to a pva Bag which will just sit on the bottom, the bomb throws the bait out. The bands take 45 seconds to melt, for the carp guys I reckon the cloud burst will also attract fish.

I have seen this used and was quite impressed, it comes to the surface very quickly on the retrieve and when playing a fish it seems not to hinder the fight, I would not us it in very weedy conditions but I can see it having some great advantages in certain situations.

 

It’s not a big as it looks on the promotion leaflets.

I like the idea that it is designed in the UK and is manufactured in Coventry as opposed to being made in china.

 

It is available from the Polaris Guys (Ultra Floats) but is not made by them,

It will sell and it has its applications.

I will get one or two for the river season, I quite like the Idea of fishing deep runs with it as it will send the free offerings up in the water to leave a nice bait trail up to my hook bait.

I'd say you can get the same results using PVA just make a mix up with some dry groundbait and small particles etc and this will also "explode" in the water!

 

Just a thought,

as i said in my post, i was thinking about getting a couple because it would be cheaper and possibly less hassle than pva, but i take terry's point about having to dry it before setting up.

Another bit of gear designed to catch anglers rather than fish.

it's a gimmick, but no one seems to have addressed my point.

Why not use a feeder Sipadan? a lot cheaper than either.As Rich said you can get the same effect by using an active groundbait mix.

 

Carp anglers seem to frown on open end feeders but Ive used them a lot especially for river work.

 

PVA bags seem a lot of extra work and expense for a lot of the situations they are used in to me.Dont need to dry a feeder or your hands beforte using one!

 

I presume the price in relation to bags was your point?

planning on using it with pellets

A large in line method feeder works very well with scalded pellet. Used this method extensively for many years

[Dick Dastardly]

planning on using it with pellets

yep

 

Ah! might be worth experimenting with pellets in an open end feeder plugged with grounndbait though? not done it myself but just a sugestion. Dont know how you would get on with getting it to throw the pellets out "dry mix" style but surely you could just wait a few mins for the plugs to dissolve then sharply draw thge hook bait back among the now "jerked out" pellets?

 

Must admit though with pellets I normally stick to PVA if its at any range.

It's just another needless gadget I can't think of a situation where this would be better than a feeder or a spod. It's clearly been designed to create a way of selling the pva bands - surely a 'wind-up' version have been made which pings the door open after 5 minutes.

 

I'd also question how it can be guarenteed to always land top-side up. I bet it wasn't tested on slopes (like gravel bars) or weed.

 

I find it funny how carpers are constantly trying to get that 'edge' by using every trick in the book to hide their line and camo everything up - and then launch a fisher-price polaris missile into the lake

 

lol @ fisher price polaris missile.

 

As some people have said above.....looks over complicated
