FTM Dancer Bombarde

FTM Dancer Bombarde — Mid-Water Trout Fishing Made Easy

The FTM Dancer Bombarde is a purpose-built bombarde (a weighted, semi-submerged float rig) designed to search the productive mid-water column of trout lakes and ponds at depths of 1 to 2.5 m.

Target the Depth Where Trout Are Feeding

Trout often settle at a consistent depth as they patrol for food, and that holding depth shifts with the season and conditions. The Dancer Bombarde's running depth of 1–2.5 m places your presentation right in the mid-water zone where fish are most active, giving you a reliable way to connect with trout without guesswork.

Long Casts, Distant Hotspots

The Dancer Bombarde is designed with excellent casting and tracking properties. Its weight loads the rod efficiently, allowing you to reach far banks and distant feeding areas on larger trout lakes — spots that would otherwise be inaccessible with lighter tackle.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 1–2.5 m running depth and are sold individually. The variants differ in weight, which affects casting distance and the pace at which the rig tracks through the water. Select a lighter weight for calmer conditions and shallow presentations, or a heavier weight for distance and a slightly deeper track.

• FTM Dancer Bombarde 1–2.5 m — lighter weight options: ideal for still or lightly flowing water, close-to-mid range casts, paired with trout paste or spiral lures

• FTM Dancer Bombarde 1–2.5 m — heavier weight options: better for longer casts to distant hotspots in open trout lakes, effective when trolling slowly across the mid-water column
