i´ve used the groundbait balls pouch, for get large balls out at range, using my spod rod, or a throwing spoon with 5ft handle, before the KORDA spods hit the market. Seen a guy using that throwing spoon, on one of the old VHS carp videos from back i the day, but can´t remember which one. Probably one of the Yateley Yahoo Crew, about 15years ago.

Used spoons a fair bit in the past but the disturbance they create is terrible.

This sounds great but I can't visualise the string or how it attaches to the elastic... Looking forward to your photographs

Is this the Alien spod? I have one and never thought of using it like the airbomb which I also have. Great for baiting to a tree line.

No it's just something I made up myself when I couldn't get the mcf one anymore. Not seen the airbomb in local shops to give it a try.

Unconventional, primitive ... but gets me out at 160yds+ with 20mm boilies, that don´t have to be rock hard You can increase the length of elastic to suit your needs.

Take it easy first time out, or you´ll give the guy in the opposite swim, a shiner, 150yds away.
Tried almost every throwing stick on the market, got 7-8 different catapults, and 2 different spomb setups, and this one armed bandit is my go to, when 150+ yds are required, and it never fails me

I'm not taking the Michael. If this is as good as you say . patent it and sell it to korda or Mr hamidi to put a production version on the market. You could be on a good earner.
Are you sure?
