Sbirulinos?

[Lazarus Cooke]

Mike Connor mentioned these Italian/German devices for fishing fly with
a spinning rod some while ago. I go to Italy often - just back from the
Alt'Adige - but have not come across them in tackle shops. Any help
about what to ask for?

Ask for "Bombardas" or "Saltarellas".

The "Dartcaster" is being highly praised by some. A further development and
modification of the original sbirulino.

There are a large number of these special casting floats now available from
various firms. Seems they are not popular in English speaking countries
though, I have no idea why.

Might have something to do with the unpronouncable name. Just a guess.

Called a "trout bomb" in English.

By the way, the "descriptive" text on some of these websites is absolutely
abysmal. The clear sbirulinos are of varying densities, and produce
Floating, slow sink. fast sinking, variations. The sink rate in salt water
is different to the sink rate in fresh water. On some models, appreciably
so. If you want to use these things for specific presentations, then you
have to test them yourself. This of course also applies to non-clear
sbirulinos.

Many thanks mike. I was hoping to do a walk next spring up across the
big bog in Mayo, and maybe fish some of the very wild mountain lakes
for food. Standing on the bank of a Mayo hill lake casting into the
wind doesn't appeal to me, so I thought I might give these a try. Will
report back/
