Hi I struggled baiting up at a distance when fishing at dams were no boats were allowed and used my normal catapult and could only bait up accurately at 80m I then thought of this puppy a XL catapult it works excellent, I can shoot 3 bait balls up to 120m with great accuracy its extremely powerful so needed heavy duty pouch used my dad’s old felie shoes what you think?

looks lekker, but how much time do you have to spend in the gym before you can operate it?

I saw a similar gadget at the 2003 World Carp Classic... but it was about a meter high.... lol! Good idea NASH... at the end of the day if it does the job, why not? I remember my first ever "spod" was an Energade bottle with the bottom cut off, tied through the sides... Wasnt very aerodynamic, but it worked, lol!!

I was looking at making a trebuchet to feed, but due to their massive amounts of weights needed it wouldnt work so well.. Plus the distance i needed required a car as my weight to launch my 20kg balls of bait.
