Inno-bombarda is the name of a new, patented, Danish designed bombarda
float from 2014. It solves a number of problems experienced with the
traditional bombardas. This new bombarda float is clearly the most exciting
news within bombarda floats and cast dub in decades. In addition, the demand
for minimal snarl combined with long cast, is solved better than some other
floats on the market.
The float, which has been invented by the Dane,
Martin Buch, does not resemble any existing bombarda floats. It addresses the
problem of fly-back of the tackle perfectly when it is fitted with a fixed
attachment at each end. The float does not have a guide stick at the back but
rather an integrated anti-snarl INNO stick in the front. The combination of the
fixed attachment and even the unique construction means that it is almost
impossible to get snarls - even when you cast under the most difficult
conditions - i.e. strong back-wind or side-wind from the casting arm.
However, not only is it snarl-safe, it also
casts excellently. In addition, the float keeps the depth even at high speed,
gives perfect performance and is extremely easy to attach and detach. The float
can be easily changed with a snap at the back end and this gives great
flexibility as it can be used with only the snap at the back as a weight for
spin fly-fishing in fast flowing water. Because of the tip, which drags along
the bottom, it is not stuck easily.
The fixed attachment to which the INNO stick is
attached to the main line with a small lure lock so the stick cannot slide
forwards and cause fly-back is, in my opinion, clearly the best and easiest to
use and the most snarl-safe. Regardless of whether you cast with a guided cast,
quick flick or the line attached on the surface, it does not snarl. However,
the INNO bombarda can also be attached so it slides with a loop at the end of
the main line, but this places greater demands on uniform and evenly
accelerated casting where the line is fully stretched - all the time. The
sliding attachment can also be semi-fixed by pushing a piece of thick silicone
tubing over the loop after which the tube is pushed up onto the back end of the
stick all the way up to the float. Again - the snap is much easier to work with
in practice - and is almost just as elegant purely in terms of performance.
INNO bombardas from Bombardashop are available
in float, intermediate and sinker versions with weights from 15-35 grams.
