Must be my technique, tried the blue and orange as well. Blue being the best, still couldn't get the distance I was getting with a battered Korda pult.

I bought the JAG pult, with all the pouches and all the elastics.
Don't like it, changing the elastics does NOT affect the bait distance very much at all....so having 4 different versions is pointless.
I like the look, I like the concept...it just doesn't work
I reverted to my little Guru pult for up to 40/50yard baiting with boilies and spomb for particle or longer ranges.
I've purchased a bigger Korda pult (after getting on well with the guru for many years) but I haven't been fishing since buying it, so can't comment on it yet

I agree with the jag pult , great idea but I don't seem to get the distance I can with my drennan or atomic catapult even with the heavier elastic

I think this is my issue, I have a drawer full of pults but always go back to the Guru.
I have a couple and they are like triggers broom, the pouches go, the elastics but I do replace at annoyingly frequent times.
I was interested in this thread (I also have the Jag one) as I had come to an inner peace with my pult issues - this peace was/is
I use small and softish baits about 12mm to 15mm
I don't think any pults will get these over 50 yards so why am I searching
The Guru pult groups well, doesn't overly cane the knuckles
I like a rigid pouch as think it helps grouping
So for me that is probably as good as it gets - I think it's the softer elastics I like on it, so if anyone knows a comparable / better one for up to 50 yards - I'd love to know.
I also have a slight hack - if anyone has the Korum green one. There are a couple of guide holes down the arms - I drilled one of these out to fit the elastic through, with a smaller hole above it (upside down key hole) so I no the elastics attach to frame same as Jag and given the angle pulled it doesn't slip - you can also adjust for range. BUT and this is the rub - I am sad old man that plays with his tackle constantly

Having just started up carping again after the pike season I found my frankencatapult that I created.
Extra strong jag elastic
Korda frame and pouch.
Works pretty well

I like Frankencatapult!
My Drennan Boiliepult has a smaller pouch than standard on it, so I can fire 4 or 5 15mm boilies, or 2 or 3 18mm's or 1 18mm a longer distance. It also gets used for small handfuls of dog biscuits.
The standard pouch is too big.
I do also use a throwing stick for up to 6 boilies at a time. It seems to confuse the gulls, especially if you bait up in low light.
