£25 from looking online, probably £50 once you add the pouches and elastic.
I don't see the benefit tbh
And call me cynical, but the line from the description:"saving you space time and money" seems false putting it mildly, space maybe(until they launch the pouch to put it in)

Yes mate they are £25 but pouches and elastic take it to near £50 sheets..

I'd rather pull me sack than pay that for a pult... Drennanit is for me haha

But if you bought the whole lot for £50, thats the equivelent of having 3 catapults.

Its just a nice looking catapult, why all the hate? We could all use NGT rods and ron thompson alarms and catch the same amount of fish. But its nice to have nice things.

I'm not sure anyone would actually buy all of the pouches and all of the elastics though would they? I don't think I would. I think the idea is more that you can tailor a pult to suit your needs and where you are fishing.

If you are fishing a big water with boilies, maybe you use the small pouch and heavy elastic to fling out individual baits similar to what you'd do with a throwing stick. Or maybe on a small water you think a big pouch but lighter elastics would give you more control to get bigger volumes of pellet or hemp out. The point is that you don't have to be stuck with whatever size of elastic or pouch that a manufacturer pairs up when you buy a fixed catapult.

It's like saying are Trakker mad, I'm not buying a tempest, and a skull cap, and a utility front and a skull wrap and a heavy duty ground sheet etc etc. It's about choice to pick from a range.

That's nothing new tho is it? I've been swapping pouches and elastics between frames for years. It may be a bit easier to do with this pult but I'll bet in a year you'll see posts in a "what catapult" thread where people have 2 jag pults to leave them setup in the configurations they'll actually use

Agree to be fair, it is a smart looking pult.

I don't think they've claimed that swapping pouches is somehow new. It's the ease of swapping and the fact that in doing so the design means that you aren't attaching them to the frame via lugs or knots, so not weakening the elastics, in testing because they are very high quality and with the reduction in stress points the elastics have lasted a very long time.

Also if someone actually did buy the complete set of elastic and pouches that's twelve different combinations for £50 and I can't imagine anyone carrying twelve fixed catapults.
