Tested by Fisk & Fri Magazine 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.
