Any tips on its use please? Ive managed to fire two balls in the required way, and twenty at my feet. I dont know what I did correctly to get the two and what Im doing wrong to get the twenty.

1. Chastise yourself for purchasing said product from Nash.
2. Place in bin.

Sorted. There's a real knack to it but very impressed. No longer smacking down spombs over the winter fish.

Years ago the Tackle Box used to do something similar. I never did get the hang of it. Got fed up making a complete arse of myself.

Aim higher than you would with a spod. It takes practice.
As someone else has said it's not a method I would use for the quiet stealthy application of bait. In the right circumstances it can be useful.
You need to get the correct consistency of bait to acheive distance and make sure all the balls are the same size and shape for any kind of accuracy.

. . .if you want to have more fun get a baiting spoon and put it on a landing net handle . . .I bought the original Cobra spoon back in the day and had hours of fun making a complete tool of myself trying to bait a swim at 50yds with a bucket of large balls of groundbait . . .

The solution? Bait boat . . . .

I found there isn't a quicker way to way to get a 20kg bucket of bait out 100yards, my accuracy was of half a football field though 😂

>>>I found there isn't a quicker way to way to get a 20kg bucket of bait out 100yards<<<

Your in the wrong sport, if you could manage 100yds or even half a football pitch, you should take up the shot put, even the top athletes are lucky to make just over 20 yards and the World record is just over 23 yards and that is with just a 14lb shot put, not 20kgs of boilles or particles etc in a bucket.

I'd have also thought that when your spinning up with the bucket to give it the "Big One" the handle would rip off the bucket and the bucket would flatten your bivvy and you going flying the opposite direction and land in the "Oggin".

Id like to move away from the slap of the spomb coming down, especially the smack when you just fall short of the clip. The spomb noise always precedes the sound of the lead and the line being pulled through the water. I believe my 30mm balls will seem less conspicuous than conventional means.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
