In need of a catapult.

[adamkitson]

How hard can it be, really!?! A stick and some elastic that can propel a handful of boillies across a lake!

 

I had a korum one which was ok. Did the job, but grouping was lost a bit above 5 baits and it constantly tangled. Then I got a drennan boiliepult, the red one. Great! As long as you don't want baits past 20 yards! Oh and after putting about 5kg out at full stretch the elastic snapped. I won't be replacing it! Now I've got a Fox long range (apparently) one, which fires 3 baits at a time tops, and has a hand guard! Didn't know why at first, now I do. No matter what you do it cracks the guard so hard it sounds like a gun going off!

 

My preferred method past 40 yards is a stick, which is the best invention ever by the way! Would be nice to have something reliable to get a decent quantity of bait out up to 40 yards though!

 

Any suggestions?

I've always been a fan of drennan

[adamkitson]

Thanks!

 

Mine lasted 2 trips.

[adamkitson]

To be fair, it was the best I've used so far, just broke so quickly. Range was ok. Less baits, longer range obviously. I thought it may last a bit longer though.

If it's out of throwing by hand range I just use my throwing stick.

Also use my throwing stick for dog biscuits when fishing on the surface.

Get a nice spread and good distance.

[adamkitson]

Yeah I like my throwing stick. I just struggle with accuracy close in. I'll throw a bait 20 yards, 40+ and it's the stick. Ita the pesky middle bit that I seem to spend most time fishing at.

Practice makes perfect

I have the ESP boilie pult finding it ok for now. I think nearly all the elastic eventually goes, just some quicker than others.

 

I've got two of the Nash Cybershot sticks, I was given the shorter one and then bought the full size one. The shorter one is a good stick for closer in work, where you're really putting stretch on the elastic with a catapult.

I have the same Cat i started back with this being my 2nd year and it shows no signs of breaking ( maybe shouldn't of said that lol ) between that and a Fox baiting spoon if i purchased another one it would be pure gluttony.

How do people tear through them so quickly ?

[spr1985]

I'm watching this with interest as I asked the same question recently and got lost in amongst the replies so as yet have not replaced the one I have broken

I've got the Korda and the ESP. The ESP is much better, in my opinion.

ESP . The green boilie pult is the nuts and the orange one for corn/particles .

 

Best I've ever used by miles.

[Gazlaaar]

I have these ones

[newmarket]

That match catty is actually the Bizness . One at a time though

[adamkitson]

It was the red one that I snapped within 5kg of bait gaz.

[Gazlaaar]

I suppose it depends how long the elastic has been exposed to sun light, I always keep mine in buckets, mind you at least you can buy spare elastics and pouches

Drennan Boiliepult, keep the elastic away from sunlight (as any cattie elastic), tie wrap the elastic to the arms, and get a smaller pouch than the standard one, and tie wrap the elastic through the pouch holes.

 

I usually get a few months out of each elastic I use.

Me too. By far the most mentioned one in this thread. Looks great!

[spr1985]

Well mine arrived today and I must say it feels chunky and robust gave it a little twang in the other halves direction (empty obviously) and nearly took her eye out [emoji23][emoji23] it didn't go down well. Have a none advertisement picture ......... I don't have small hands so this shows how big the pouch is

 

Based on what I have seen so far it's a well spent £10.85

[adamkitson]

That's the one chap! I put a couple of kg out with it this evening, no issues. Seeing as I've done 3 catapults in the last week pre baiting that's got to be a good sign.

[spr1985]

Yeah sounds like it can hold up to some abuse, did you have a read of the info card that comes with it? Some useful information on it if you didn't read it, and if you have binned it let me know and I can photograph it and stick up on here for ya
