<p>Great video, thanks! That's what I was thinking of doing with the Hildebrandt Flicker Spinner, looks like it will work.</p>

<p>It's a great addition for distance fishing higher in the water column. I've been doing good all summer with a panfish-sized dropshot rig for fish that are far out, near the bottom. I can cast both of these rigs about the same distance.</p>

<p>Difference is that these bombarda floats are not designed for bite indication but for distance casting for a rod and reel. Fly rods use the fly line to cast and do not need the additional weight </p>

<p>I stink at estimating distances, but measuring my pond on google earth and I'm guessing ~100+ ft without really laying into the cast. I'm slow reeling the whole retrieve, so I'm always in direct contact with the fly. So far hook setting has only been an issue with a strong wind putting a big bow in the line. I've been getting a lot of short strikes, but I get them when fly fishing for BG too. Using the braid helps with bite detection also. Casting technique is an overhead lob type cast,…</p>
<p>I stink at estimating distances, but measuring my pond on google earth and I'm guessing ~100+ ft without really laying into the cast. I'm slow reeling the whole retrieve, so I'm always in direct contact with the fly. So far hook setting has only been an issue with a strong wind putting a big bow in the line. I've been getting a lot of short strikes, but I get them when fly fishing for BG too. Using the braid helps with bite detection also. Casting technique is an overhead lob type cast, feathering the line on the reel just before the float hits to flip the fly/leader out in front of the float. I got a lot of ideas using these things - micro flies or jigs in the cold water of late November/December, one of those Hildebrandt flicker spinners for stocked trout in the spring. There are tons of videos of guys trout fishing with them. If only I understood German. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EDULwy1598" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EDULwy1598</a></p> Steve

<p>Welcome to the world of Euro float fishing. I would suggest circle hooks (size 10 - 14) when making your rigs. This way the fish pretty much hook themselves. The commercial rigs are available on UK fishing sites. Reason most people use these rigs are to get out real far via rod and reel with very light terminal tackle. </p>

<p>THIS IS A TOTALLY NEW ONE TO ME STEVE;; INTERESTING SET UP ! QUESTION IS;; HOW FAR CAN YOU CAST THIS;; AND HOW FAST IS THE HOOK SET ? WHEN I FISH AT LONG DISTANCE; THE REACTION TIME ON HOOK SET;; NOT GOOD ; FOR ME ANY WAY. I MISS A LOT OF THEM ! GOOD INGEIUNITY ON DESIGNING YOUR OWN FLOAT !</p>
