I've never seen them in the shops here. I visit Germany every couple of years and stock up on them then. I find them excellent with a light spinning outfit. You can cast them astonishing distances, and because of the slow sink you can let them reach the depth you want before retrieving.

Rod likely stocks up when they go to Holland. Ebay? Maybe Rod should sell them online...lol.

Denmark… ;) I buy a big batch whenever I am there, and no, I have no plans to start smuggling back to YVR for distribution. ;D

You should be able to buy them from some online stores over there.

There are transparent floats at any tackle store that can be filled with water and used as an extra weight for spoons. They can be fished in a same way as a bombarda. To increase weight you can add a couple shots.
