What catapult would others recommend
Have busted 2 Kordas
2 sets of elastic
And last night the pouch tore on one about 2 months
I accept things break but it seems to be my Korda catapult is not very robust
Other Korda stuff I've got is pretty good

I have the drennan, I have replaced the elastic a few times over the years (it does dry out) and have sewn the pouch up using dental floss no issues with it since.

I'm with the others, the best catty available is the Drennan Boiliepult, but again I do change the pouch.

Just bought a couple of Kodex catapults [ particle ] for use in my floater fishing, haven't used them yet so cannot comment, they will only be used for close / medium range.

As others have suggested the Drennan boilie pult has stood the test of time, I'm not impressed with what's on offer out there, used a Gardener pult last season and it was woeful, needed to have super strength to replace the elastics.

Hi, if you can get the thick bright red Drennan Elastic, used on prev Long Range Ground bait Catty.
Its more powerful than std maroon coloured, thats on Drennan Boilie Pult.

If you need spare elastic get on the bay and look for surgical elastic by the metre. Very cheap.

I use this too. It is great. Also used it on an atom frame before too to good effect.

all of mine used to be like that until last year.
I now have a Korda frame, elastic and pouch, must admit I am not one to praise Korda but the catapult is good.

Cygnet ones for long range are good esp for shorter ranges

I heard that the best / cheapest place to buy replacement elastics is eBay but that it is called surgical tubing.

No idea if there are any differences in quality between different sellers.
