National federation of anglers, Rule 15, States.
All groundbait maybe thrown in by hand, or by use of one or two handed catapults, throwing sticks, swim feeder, bait droppers and bait cups, but no other mechanical means of projecting groundbait is allowed. No bait shall be introduced with a pole cup or bait dropper attached to an extra pole/rod whilst continuing to fish.
As most clubs fish to NFA rules then yes you would probably be breaking the rules. Check with match organiser before you start fishing about the rules.
