I have never used one personally but a friend of mine does regularly & he clips up at 4 wraps to stop the "sling" going out too far & just builds a rhythm up. He did say to me it took a fair bit of practise to figure out how much you needed to put in to the cast but he said to keep the drop the same & let go of the line at the same point of the cast each time.

Used this method a lot in France, could get balls out about 100 yards. Used vitalin to get a really hard mix with added particles and chops. Satsuma size balll seemed to be about right, made up in advance and left to dry out. If the mix is too sticky the baits will stick in the sling. Used a through action spod rod, didn't clip up as the sling just lost its energy once the ball was out of the sling.

Hi all, bringing this thread back to life.
Could people with experience of using this method advise if the original Vitalin is the key to binding the groundbait balls? Would be adding various particle and boilies to the mix as well.
Looking to use the the groundbait blaster/slingshot method for baiting.

Try using a binder like sensus pv1. Used it a lot when bream fishing and balli g groundbait in. Made up the groundbait balls night before and they never broke up. Had particle/corn/dead maggots all sorts in it.

Buy a sack of "Flaked Maize" its all I use, once soaked, left for a short while and kneaded it becomes very glutinous and you can get some good hard firm "Ground bait Balls".
It has been my "groundbait" used on its own or mixed with other ingredients since the 60's. Its very cheap for a large sack and takes flavours and oils well. I use it with either catapult or ball blaster and for speed to make the "Balls" use a Nash Deliverance Ball Maker.
