Santec Tube Bom Spring With EVA Float 39082 Mata Bom Float

The Santec Tube Bom Spring with EVA Float is a bait feeder built around a buoyant EVA core wrapped in a metal spiral spring. Ground bait, dough or softened pellet mixture is pressed around and between the coils; the spring holds it together through handling and the cast, and water breaks the mixture down once the rig settles. The reason this version exists is the float: the EVA core gives the feeder slight buoyancy so it stays lifted off the bottom instead of sinking into it. Over soft mud, silt or weed — exactly the bottom you find in most pay ponds — a plain spring buries itself and the bait stops working. This one sits above that layer and holds the spring in a stable horizontal position, which keeps the hooks presented where the fish are feeding.

Key Features

EVA foam core provides buoyancy so the bait sits clear of soft bottom
Holds the spring horizontal for better presentation
Spiral spring grips mouldable bait securely during the cast
Bait disperses gradually into a feeding zone around the hooks
Five sizes from 2.5CM to 6.0CM for light to heavy bait loads
Bright assorted colours make sizes easy to identify
Reusable after washing

How To Fish It

Use it where the bottom is soft — Silt, mud and weed swallow an unweighted spring. This is the version for those swims, and anywhere fish feed just off bottom.
Get the mix right — Add water slowly until the bait holds when squeezed but still crumbles. Too wet and it slips off in the air; too dry and it never opens up.
Pack and cast smoothly — Press the bait hard into the coils, mould the outside smooth, and cast with a loaded stroke rather than a hard snap.
Sinker below, feeder above — Set the sinker below the feeder so the float lifts the bait ball clear while the lead anchors the rig. Keep droppers to roughly 3–6 cm; the hooks sit in the bait or hang beside it.
Build then hold — Three or four loaded casts to one spot before you fish it, reloading every 10–20 minutes until fish move in.

Target Species By Region

Southeast Asia — Made for silty kolam pancing in Malaysia and Indonesia: catfish (keli), carp (ikan kap), patin and tilapia (talapia), plus muddy river mouths for threadfin (senangin) and bream.
North America — A floating coil-spring rig for catfish and carp over silt in reservoirs and slow river backwaters.
Japan & East Asia — The lifted-bait idea behind dango-zuri and Kishu-style fishing for carp (koi), crucian carp (herabuna) and black seabream (chinu).
Australia, Middle East & Europe — The same job a buoyant method feeder does for European carp and bream on silty lakebeds; also tilapia in Gulf ponds.
