Bombard’s fishing tackle: rigging, sbirulino fishing

Bombarda or as it is also called – Sbirolino is a special fishing tackle that was invented by Italians for catching such careful and accurate fish like trout. However, this tackle is very popular among domestic fishermen. After all, with its help, you can quite successfully catch fish such as
chub ,
perch , ide or
asp .

Thanks to this, the fisherman can lure such a neat fish as a chub or asp from its shelter, which sometimes simply cannot be reached with the help of ordinary, standard tackle.

In appearance, the bombards that are used during fishing are somewhat reminiscent of such a tackle as a float, which is familiar to most anglers. However, in this case, the bombard’s fishing tackle has the shape of an elongated drop, along which a special tube is located. It is worth noting that the installation of sbirulino is very similar to such a feeder equipment
as iline . However, unlike the aforementioned feeder tackle, this rig uses a bombard instead of a feeder.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the length of the leash used together with this equipment directly depends on the place, depth of the reservoir, as well as the fish on which it is planned to fish. The main function of the sbirulino fishing tackle is to deliver light, small baits over long distances. Simply put, this rig is used when it is impossible or extremely difficult to deliver a light bait to the fishing spot using an ordinary fishing rod.

On a note! Sbirolino can be used as a stand-alone rig or used as an additional rig to a spinning rod. Such a tackle is perfect for fishing from the shore and for long-distance casting of bait at a distance of 40 meters from the coastline.

Equipment types

In total, there are 4 types of such fishing equipment as bombards. It comes in different sizes and may vary in weight. In addition, depending on the species belonging to one or another species, the behavior of different sbirulino models directly in the water, while fishing, may differ slightly. The bombard is:

1. Floating or surface type . As a rule, such equipment, most often, is used in shallow water or on shallow water bodies, where the bait used to catch fish is immersed to a depth of no more than 1.5 meters.
2. Drowning fast . Such equipment is suitable for catching fish in those bodies of water where there is a fast current. When using this tackle, the so-called step wiring is used.
3. Slowly sinking . Perfect for catching fish on a shoal or fairway. As a rule, such equipment is used by anglers to catch predatory fish. It is considered especially catchy when fishing for such fish as ide or perch.
4. Adjustable or self-leveling . Water is poured into such a tackle. It should be noted that the more water is poured, the deeper the sbirulino will go. This type of tackle is used as a suspender.

Reference! In the manufacture of sbirulino, plastic or wood can be used. In addition, in the domestic market, you can find a large number of such equipment made of plastic. The color of the tackle can vary from transparent to dark shades. It is worth noting that you can make such a rig yourself.

Scope of application

Sbirulino is used to deliver the bait used for catching fish at distances far from the coastline. In addition, the bombard allows you to throw the used nozzle to different depths, which is often important when catching fish actively moving in the entire horizon. The sbirulino method makes it possible to use a wide variety of baits:
worms ,
maggots , and also, when catching predatory fish – flies,
spinners , micro-rubber.
Even the smallest lures can be cast far enough with the sbirolino [/ caption] By using the bombard, the bait used can be thrown into the water at a great distance from the position of the fisherman. For example, thanks to the bombard, the angler can cast flies when catching grayling or trout at a distance of 30 to 70 meters.

What equipment is needed to use the bombard

To use the bombard, you can purchase special rods in the store, the length of which varies from 3 meters or more. They are, as a rule, flexible and soft blanks that allow long-distance casting of bait and smoothly playing out the caught fish. For the sbirulino application, most experienced anglers recommend purchasing lightweight, lightweight rods. It is worth noting that when choosing a rod, you should pay attention to the indicators of its test, which should be suitable for the mass of the bombard used. For example, when the mass of sbirulino is 45 grams, then the test of the used rod should be the same, or better, 15-20% more. As practice shows, for the use of this rig, it is preferable to use spinning rods belonging to the medium order.
The shape of the blank [/ caption] The length of the rod is selected taking into account the size of the used leader. For example, if a 150 cm leash is used when fishing, then the total length of the rod used must be at least 3.5 meters.
Mounting and equipment of the bombard [/ caption]

Important! When using a bombard, the total length of the matched rod should be 2.5 times the size of the leader. Otherwise it will be difficult to cast the bait over long distances. Also, when using the sbirulino method, it is recommended to use
spinning reels with a spool diameter of 2000 – 3000.

Installation of purchased bombard

Installation of such equipment as a bombard does not take much time, but it will require the utmost care and attention from the angler. Sbirulino is mounted in two ways:

• removable (rare);
• whole method (is the most common).

When using the so-called removable method, after the stoppers, you need to install special swivels along with fasteners. This is necessary for the subsequent replacement of the rig when fishing. In most cases, fishing enthusiasts use the so-called one-piece assembly. To do this, you need to stretch the cord into 1 stopper. Then the cord must be put into the bombard from the side where the long tube is located. Then the cord must be passed through the 2nd stopper. At the final stage of installation, a swivel must be tied to the rig. To prevent the
fluorocarbon leash from twisting constantly during casts , it is recommended to
install 2 swivels.

How to make a bombard yourself

You can make a bombard fishing tackle yourself at home. This will require the following materials and tools:

• knife or sharp blade (you can use a clerical knife);
• small vice (used to fix materials);
• awl (alternatively, you can use a screwdriver);
• sandpaper;
• a small piece of foam;
• epoxy;
• float (you can take a broken, out-of-order heavy float);
• a small piece of plastic (a container for a children’s toy, which is sold with a kinder surprise, is suitable).

What you need to make a bombard with your own hands [/ caption] To make a bombard, you first need to take a small piece of hard foam. You will also need an empty, used ampoule from a regular gel pen. Then, using a knife, cut out a rectangular blank from the foam, the length of which should be about 6 cm. At the next stage, you need to sharpen the resulting blank using sandpaper so that it takes an oval shape. Then, using an awl, you need to make a through hole in the center of the workpiece. The hole diameter must match the size of the ampoule. Then you need to spread the ampoule with glue and insert it into the hole of the workpiece. It should be noted that in this case, such brands of glue are used that are not capable of damaging or corroding the foam. Then, using lead,you need to catch up with the rig to the masses necessary for casting the bait over long distances. You can also make sbirulino from a container from under a kinder surprise. To do this, you need to take a tube with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm. Alternatively, you can use a wide gel pen or a simple one.

Then the container from the kinder surprise is installed in a vice, and a hole is made in its central part. At the final stage of manufacturing, a tube must be placed in the hole and fixed with glue or epoxy. How to make a do-it-yourself bombard fishing tackle: https://youtu.be/9n7qphQuv8U

Fishing technique

For the correct casting of the fishing tackle, you need to carefully wind the cord behind your back. At the same time, the total length of the used rig should be no more than ½ the size of the used rod. Otherwise, the rig may hook on grass or branches when casting, making it impossible to throw the bait over a long distance. Then you need to make a smooth suspension so that the line and rod become in one row, after which you should make a whipping, sharp, but soft, neat throw. When fishing from a boat, you can make weak, light casts by floating the bait using the speed of the water flow. Before the bombard is in the pond, the cord must be slightly slowed down.

Fishing for pike on sbirulino

During the capture and fishing of a pike, the bombard is used to deliver a voluminous and light pike fly to the intended area. Basically, with the help of such equipment, this predator is caught in the so-called toad houses. A wire loop is also installed on the hooks along with the attachment, which prevents the hook tip from snagging on a variety of obstacles and grass.
Different bombards [/ caption] Bombard should be thrown in those places on the reservoir where there is vegetation. Then you should carry out slow, smooth postings with small stops. During stops, the fly will slowly begin to sink to the bottom with loose plumage. This behavior of the bait will provoke the pike to bite.

How to catch a perch

Various lures are used to catch perch with sbirolino. For fishing this fish far from the coastline, it is best to use a floating bombard with a popper. In this case, the wiring must be done the same as when using ordinary gear, not equipped with a bombard. Also, for catching perch, you can use silicone baits with a jig – head, which are put directly on the hook. In this case, the angler, when using the bombard, needs to make slow and uneven postings, which will be able to provoke even passive, inactive fish to bite.

Catching asp on a bombard

Asp is a neat fish that rarely allows anglers to come close to it. In this case, with the help of a bombard, you should make long casts using such baits as a wobbler, a bobber, a spinner or a large artificial fly.

Catching chub

The chub is an omnivorous fish. Therefore, when fishing with a bombard, you can use different baits for bait. However, in this case, the bait used should be lightweight and small in size. Experienced anglers recommend using mini wobblers or artificial flies such as Palmer for more successful catching of chub with a bombard.

How to catch an ide with a bombard

It is best to catch ide with a bombard in July. Indeed, it is in the middle of summer that the fish begins to actively feed at the surface of water bodies. It is recommended to look for this fish in those parts of the reservoir where there are natural shelters in the form of grass, snags, and aquatic vegetation. When fishing ide with a bombard, it is recommended to use
match or spinning rods, the test of which is 15-25 grams. To catch the ide, you can use bait of artificial or animal origin.

Catching grayling

When fishing for grayling, it is recommended to use artificial baits. In this case, an artificial fly is perfect for a good result. With the help of a bombard, the bait should be cast over long distances, directly to the place where fish accumulate in the reservoir.

How to catch trout

Trout is a strong and extremely cautious, neat and even slightly shy fish. For this reason, to catch it, you need to carefully select the bait. She is excellently caught with wet, dry and even artificial flies. To successfully catch trout, the angler must constantly change the nature of the posting. Indeed, in this case, the type of animation of the bait and its behavior under water affects the success of fishing.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Bombards

The main advantage of the bombard is that it is capable of delivering ultralight baits and baits over long distances. In this case, the distance of casting the bait can be more than 40 meters. In addition, the benefits of using this tackle include:

1. The choice of a large number of attachments.
2. Allows you to use different wiring.
3. The rig is compatible even with inexpensive rods. However, when choosing a rod, you need to pay attention to the indicators of its length, as well as the test.
4. Suitable for fishing at different depths.
5. Allows you to successfully fish in reservoirs with dense vegetation and natural barriers (branches, driftwood, grass).
6. Can be used on streams and standing water.

Sbirulino rigging
when fishing with a wobbler [/ caption] The disadvantages of the bombard should be attributed to the fact that it is suitable for rods, the length of which varies from 3 meters or more. Inexperienced anglers will find it very difficult to use long leashes, which are equipped with bombards. In addition, this rig is not suitable for large, heavy baits that are used for fishing. In addition, the rig is less effective when catching cautious, shy fish that are afraid of loud noise. Indeed, during the splashdown of the rig, after its casting, there is a wave and extraneous noise.
