I purchased one of the jag one pults, as im fed up of having catapults break, then spending time trying to thread the elastic over the mounting points.

Anyway, does anyone else find it causes more injuries to their hands than other pults on the market, or is it just me?

I left my catapult in the van at the other end of the lake and had to borrow one of these Jag ones. Horrible thing to use.

Jag kit is so far advanced that the hand slap from the pouch is when your baiting on someone else's spot or putting bait where there are no carp present, it's not written anywhere but it would be the response if you asked 100%

Not used one but try holding the frame horizontal or even upside down

Agreed, solved mine with a gardner contraption that is neoprene and slots over the grip, almost like a soft padded guard.

Was regularly baiting a lake last winter with the jag pult, fudge me the first night I baited I had to wait for a guy to go home, my hands were numb and I got to experience the delights of the one pult. I literally could have cried. I took it out again a few nights later, again it was freezing cold and I clattered my fingers. Omg how I didn't throw up I don't know.

You could do with a suit like they wear when competing at fencing rather than a knuckle guard 😂.

Probably the most expensive pult on the market, yet people have to spend MORE money to avoid an issue which should have been sorted prior to release

We are complete mugs sometimes.

Expect nice colour coded plastic guards in a range of sizes soon
Are you sure?
