Catapults for accuracy - Talk Angling fishing chat and tackle advice

I'm still trying to get better catapults...

I think the pouch has an awful lot to do with it, and alot of these modern jobbies look great but in the end are rubbish.

What have you guys found to be the best pouches, frames and elastic combinations.

personally i love the team england deli cat with pink laccy for 7-10m

personally i think they all have an optimal range.. half a meter either way and the accuracy/ spread of bait gets worse

The cup has alot to do with it, I thought what you did and when I did use them I baited half the pond !

just spread all over the place.

I have a drennon deepcup now, not as pointed but more flat, now its just puts a nice little spray round my target

I always used to use Trev Tomlin TT pults but my shop doesnt stock them now so have started using preston and they are pretty good even up to 16 metres. Do you remember those polecat things? Looked like something from a sex shop but they were really accurate. Wonder if anyone still has one???

i have one of them fill it put it on your leg pull back and let go with one hand. it one of the best catapult i have got it brill, i can set it at 13mtr and it spot on and 16mtr as well you can go even more if you want to. it can even feed ground bait at 16 mtr, you can change the elastic on it for diff powers that good and they are thick so they do not snap like most do. the name is e z feeda once you get the hang of it it easy, this is the website EZ Feeda - for great bait delivery! well i think that is the web site. i got it at the nec last year and its good also you get three cups with it which is good to

Bought mine at theWychavon. Agree , so easy to use and still hold your pole with the other hand!

Just got hold of some Trev Tomlin Canal special pouches and ripped off the ones on a couple of fox pults I have - seems like a massive improvement, the test will come at the weekend!
