Depends on what you want, for a few baits up to around 50 yards I really like my ESP one the pouce is like a plastic cone this is the one that gets the most use , I tend to only put 3 or 4 baits in at a time, Single baits I have a fox and a korda one both on occasions rattle my knuckles but are good for 60 to 70 yards , greater distance then it's the stick

The Gardner Ultra Pult is what I have used for free years

ESP one for me also. I have a few of them.
I also bought the Rod Hutchinson one based on a recommendation on here, but didn't like it, the elastic is too strong and the loop you hold on the pouch is crap.

ESP one for me. I've just bought the new one after a few years of using the atomic (but rarely used one at all tbh). The new ESP one is good. Hasn't given me knuckle wrap yet. Great range and accuracy too.

I have the Big shot medium, would be alright with single boilies I would imagine.

My god I've had a few and still have loads - the trouble (imo) is that nothing is ideal and there are compromises
For up to 40 yards the guru pult is amazing - groups, easy to use and I love the plastic cage - down side is rubbers rot quicker than anything and the cage loses shape and splits, I was gonna replace but it only a £1 to buy a new one than spares!
My original swing head fox is good and goes up to 70 yards but is too stiff for close range.
The jag pult looks nice - you think it's Rita Ora but performs like Vanessa Felz
The old drenam ones are good but too much stress on the elastic overlap.
The atomic one - I think (like the jag) wastes too much power and accuracy by having wide arms. You don't see any target pults with wide arms...
The ESP one I had, I used to hire a butler to walk back with the sling - assume these were built for a rare South African tribe with 8 foot arms.
Haven't owned the Korda one but no real differentiation from the main stream.
I would love to know the ideal pult and make it- I reckon bands instead of elastic - rigid pouch and swivelling so the pastiche follow through.
Need to get out more. I bore myself.

I personally like using the Drennan Boilie pult. Had a go with a few others but always go back to this one for Boilie fishing.
My biggest disappointment has been the jag pult though. I really got sucked into the hype and bought one with all the pouches and slings. They do work, but unfortunately are just not that great to use, in my opinion.

The old style Korda heavy was my favourite for boilies but they added some swivelling crap to the new version and I don't like it as much. It also makes a racket.
I never got on with the rigid basket on the ESP so used the soft pouch particle version. The ESP elastic never lasts that long for me though.
I agree that the biggest load of junk was the Jag. Thankfully I didn't buy one, but I borrowed it and laughed.
