Plan on going this Saturday, just rolled a six egg mix which I plan on using over the next couple of weeks. So will let you know.

Hi there SB yes I've used it now and used a slightly longer then standard length this I think has damped it down a little (not so springy) however I'm pleased with it and getting reasonable distances once the elastics are shorter I think I'll be able to put bait further and expect it to feel close to but possibly not exact. I'm pleased and happy to use it.

I've always found the length of catapult elastics to be trial and error. You'd think the longer the better but shortening by optimum amount is often better. Just wish I could find it without the constant faffing

Strange you say that.
Whenever I put new elastic on my Boiliepult I find the perfect length is after the first snap at the tie wrap at the pouch end.

Can anyone recommend one for particles / groundbait with a larger pouch... I'm sure I had an ESP one years ago which I lost...

I've found it reaches an optimum length usually an inch or two off of the original length. I purposely went longer to trial it out, had considered shortening it, haven't found the need to as yet.

They still do the particle pult and the mega pult. Your google not working?!

Anyone got any update(s) on catapults?

Like the OP, my Korda one is on the turn and the elastic is developing cracks after not much use.

Most of my fishing is short to medium range. I have not yet found a pult that lasts!

People recommending the Drennan?

A Whopper Dropper catapult teamed up with heavy duty elastics, and a medium or X-large scruffy bob pouch from the Tackle box.
It what I've used for years.

Julian cundiff uses the same catapult and worded it exactly the same as you. Julian is this you?

No I am not Julian Cundiff

Tried the rest, and one of my particle angling friends put me onto this particular model years ago
It is bombproof, so well made, great for spreading beds of bait or particle.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
