Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Target Speci-Pult is a specialized, lightweight catapult designed for specimen and carp anglers who require pinpoint accuracy at short to medium ranges. It is an ideal tool for precise baiting with a wide variety of baits, including maggots, particles, pellets, boilies, and floaters. While its compact design and ergonomic grip make it exceptionally comfortable for extended use, it is best suited for targeted baiting rather than long-distance heavy-duty spodding.

FAQs
What is the primary use of the Gardner Target Speci-Pult?
It is designed for precise, accurate baiting of maggots, particles, pellets, boilies, and floaters at short to medium ranges.
Can I replace the elastics on this catapult?
Yes, the surgical elastics are designed to be replaced as they wear out over time, ensuring the product's longevity.
What is the weight of the Speci-Pult?
The unit weighs just 52 grams, making it exceptionally lightweight and easy to manage.
Are the fittings designed to prevent tangles?
Yes, the catapult features specific anti-twist fittings that prevent the elastic from tangling during use.
How do I maintain the pouch?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth after each session to remove bait oils and debris, especially after using sticky particles.
Is this suitable for long-range baiting?
The Speci-Pult is optimized for short to medium-range accuracy; it is not recommended for extreme long-range or heavy-volume baiting.
Troubleshooting
Elastic is twisting during use
Ensure that the anti-twist fittings are clear of debris and that the elastic is seated correctly in the frame swivels.
Inconsistent bait grouping
Check your release technique and ensure you are pulling the pouch back to the same anchor point every time for consistent power.
Pouch is not releasing bait cleanly
Check for dried bait residue on the interior of the pouch and clean it with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speci-Pult, regularly inspect the surgical elastics for signs of perishing or cracking, especially if exposed to direct, intense sunlight for long periods. After each fishing session, wipe the frame and the pouch clean of bait residue, particularly after using sticky pellets or maggots, to prevent the material from degrading. Store the unit in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the elastic. To prevent premature wear, avoid over-stretching the elastics beyond their design limits during use.
