Im looking for recommendations for a boilie throwing stick that can get my 15-20mm bait to 100 yards. The korda easi-stik gets some decent feedback. Are there other and better options?

Definitely Diem - great value.

If you can't find the Diem then get the NGT Carbon one, same stick (I think?) and great value for money 
just don't get the Ridgemonkey one what ever you do

Korda or Pro logic plastic sticks. Do everything expensive carbon sticks do. And tough as old boots, drop them, chuck them, tread on them, no probs. I can bait consistently with 20mm boilies at 100 yds weather permitting. Little bit heavier than sexy, fragile carbon sticks, but then again you can replace them cheaply.

Thanks chaps. I will check out the Diem/NGT stick 👍👍👍👍👍

True, the Korda Eazi Sticks are still as good as anything out there really

A carbon stick is better however an easi stick is cheap and if you're not putting out large amounts of bait at range it will do the job fine.

The Tackle box CF-X carbon swift curved stick is worth a look, a nice light, and well balanced stick, £39.99.
You should be able to easily get most 18 -20mm baits 100 yards plus, as long as they are nice and consistently round, important that, and firm enough to withstand the forces of your stick work.
100 yards with most straight or curved sticks is achievable .
Bait wise, don't know if you are buying a ready rolled bait from a company or make your own.
But using fine, dense ingredients in your boilie mix, limestone flour, maize flour, ground rice, semo, oystershell grit and good binders like Egg albumin and WPC80 all help.

You can get an MPE Tackle carbon stick for 30 quid off the bay at the moment. They no longer make them so are selling them off. It's a proper bargain.

A carbon stick is lighter certainly. How else is it better. Why spend the money.

I've had a few throwing sticks and for value for money the Diem stick is a great stick
It's a lot of stick for the money and comes with a case too
Then after reading a few posts on here I bought the Daiwa stick
It really is in a different league,
It literally feels like it weighs nothing and puts baits out effortlessly
I honestly couldn't believe the difference
If you want a decent stick at good price then the Diem one is a great buy
But if you don't mind spending the extra then I'd highly recommend the Daiwa one

Carbon comes into it's own for heavy baiting at distance. For small qtys there's not much benefit. For large qtys it makes a huge difference and can be the difference between tennis elbow or not.

I have the korda one and the tackle box one, when I intend to use a lot of boilie I'll take the tb one, if I think little and often will be the order of the day I'll take the korda, the carbon sticks seem to amplify the noise.
I've almost given up on throwing sticks tbh, every bird in the south east knows its the dinner bell, I never seem to get 5 baits out before a flock of birds descends on the area

I'm pretty much the same, just feels like you are feeding the gulls after the first couple of throws, and the carbon stick definitely has the louder lunch bell. It's a fecker as spreading them about with a stick is my preference over messing about with a spod.
Anyone use one of those Nash sticks with the two rods to guide it out rather than a tube? Any quieter?

Yes mate they're decent up to 100 yards👍
Not quite long enough for mega range but few sticks are tbh.

I use my cobra for 95 % however ifs its large quantity at distances around 100 plus yards I have an ACE carbon stick, you can't get them anymore. The Daiwa carbon stick was the ultimate distance stick and it's around £70 now with achievable distances of around 130 yards.
I've read on several occasions that the Korda Eazi stick folds in on its self.

I agree it must have been that or something else they was doing, I've had mine a few years now and it's still perfectly good as new. Not had a problem with it

You have to bait up in the dark or the gulls will take 90% of your bait which is an expensive and virtually pointless exercise.

Thanks for the feedback and information. Im a newbie to throwing sticks so here is the numpty question. Can I use a 25mm diameter stick for boilies ranging in size from 15mm to 24mm or willI I need different sized sticks? Will only be using on a couple of venues that dont allow bait boats

Not a fan of baiting up in the dark if I can help it. How do you see where the baits are landing in the dark? I'd at least need a couple of swings at it before I got my eye in!

Muscle memory put a few out in the daylight and remember the feel of the throwing action.

Use 24mm baits, gulls won't get them then. Not many to the kilo mind

I've got the Diem stick and for bigger baits and longer range I have the Starbaits stick.
Both are not a lot of money and work very well indeed.
I had a Korda stick when they first came out and couldn't use it at all apart from adopting a two handed overhead technique.
I find on the waters I fish a more tactical approach is required to baiting i'e wait till someone else on the other side of the lake is baiting up and the gulls are pre occupied with that then get stuck in yourself... I usually put out 5 X 15mm out at once so you can usually get 4 or 5 shots in before they are on you....then wait for the other guy to start baiting again...they fly over to him and you start the whole process again.
Or....as has been stated wait till it goes dark....pick a far bank marker and spunk away

The whole point of using a throwing stick is to spread the bait about. If you practice you can be as accurate as you need to be.

Used to love the original Cobra metal sticks, why do you think i have a massive right arm.......

The ace velocity and Daiwa in 25mm are very close in the distance they can achieve in my hands and the fox rangemaster also in 25mm is very close and has the benefit of a loading port.

I've got 2 the korda easi stik which I really rate and a 10 year old badger tackle stick which for £4 has been flawless I tried a metal one once Nd couldn't get to grips but the korda one has been perfect and I have very few misses with it

Im not usually a fan of their gear but I have a Nash Cybershot and think its brilliant. I was putting 18mm baits accurately at 108 yards with it with no issue. Only problem I have seen is they don't like softer baits and can make them split easily.
As said ton get the ridge monkey one - the grip was horrendous and the noise was horrible from the first generation ones. I sat laughing at a mate for a week in France when he had one. Tried it and didn't like it at all.

I have the Cybershot as well. Bought it off a chap in France for 20 euros. Great bit of kit but as you say, not too good with softer baits.
I just had a Cyber-lite Stealth delivered. Usually £69.99 but got it for £50 from Ebay. Just a shame I cant test it out yet!

Are the Nash sticks much quieter than the regular carbon sticks? I have the Diem one and it can sound like you are putting gravel out. I swear the gulls come up from Southampton

I wouldnt say the Cyber-shot is any quieter than any other stick to be honest. Not sure about the Carbon one yet as havent had a chance to test it.
