Surely the pouch design and handles on these 'Carp Boilie Catapults' are a limiting factor?
The strong elastic is there but not much else.
I think the Korda, ESP etc. are missing a trick.
Tried a few and found the ESP Boilie Pult works best for me.

Take a look at the esp big shot boilie pult. May do the job for you. I use it for putting out about 6 baits at a time. Max range about 60 yards. I hold the pouch to keep the boilies in when firing them out. I find the tabs on catapults are useless .

Which Korda one for up to 60/80 yards? The medium?
I don't want to but Korda really but seems the best recommended?
Have a Boilie pult but would prefer a slightly softer elastic for more accurate baiting

I bought a few of these and they are ok-ish.
Then I found my old stash of Scruffy Bob pouches

Get them from the tackle box, brilliant.
The korda and Gardner ones are a copy of the scruffy bob design and these look solid enough, although the material Is slightly lighter than the sb ones, but still very good.
The main thing with these pouches is the strong material, and it's also doubled over where the little gizmo attaches to the elastic so it doesn't fall apart.

I bought a load of Middy pouches, the closest current equivalent I've seen is on ebay:

I get the Boilieput elastic to go from outside to in on the pouch through the stud holes and tie wrap.

Do these make less of a seagull dinner bell than your average stick?

Took me ages to get the hang of my Deliverance Stealth but worked out that just a quick flick is all that is needed. I have a Deliverance Cyber-Lite Stealth as well and can easily put a boilie out the same distance as my old larger Cyber Shot.

New Korda ones are excellent. Pretty sure they’d do boilies 60 yards in 2’s or 3’s, been using the heavy one to pre bait at 30 yards full with 18mm and it’s very comfortable doing it.

Drennan Boiliepult, but put a smaller pouch on it.

I use mine to about 80metres with single baits, from 20 with multiple baits. Just work out number of baits for the distance to get them out to. No more than 5 boilies at a time though.
It also fires out dog biscuits nicely, a pouch full at a time

I use the Rod Hutchinson Catapult Boilie Large for those distances (one of the best Catapults I've had so far)
Been using it for 3 years now, the elastics have still not been replaced

I've got one at home Glenn but was at work so used a stock photo, I like using mine for putting out floaters as well when you dont need to get them out very far.

I'd take your address off the pic there might be some dubious types looking in.

Nash sell a short throwing stick called the stealth but if you have an old spare one just take a hacksaw to it.

Use a short throwing stick, straight one would be best which you could make easily enough.

I have the esp one and the jag pult with the pink long range elastic… the esp won’t quite reach and the jag pult is pretty erratic with the pink elastic!

So is there anything upto the job and pretty accurate at that range? As they don’t like the spomb (carp scarer) on my water!
