Product Information

Full details

The Drennan Soft Feed Groundbait Catapult with soft elastic is designed for anglers who prioritize precision baiting at short-to-medium ranges, specifically between 20m and 30m. Its specialized cradle cup excels at delivering soft balls or barrel-shaped bait without crushing them, providing high accuracy for focused feeding zones; however, it is not intended for long-range work or heavy, hard-packed baits that require stiffer tension.

FAQs

What is the optimal range for this catapult?

This model is optimized for accurate delivery between 20m and 30m.

Can I use this for long-range baiting?

No, the soft elastic is specifically tuned for short-to-medium range work. For longer distances, a stronger elastic model is recommended.

How do I know when to replace the elastic?

Replace the elastic if you notice visible cracks, stiffening, or a consistent drop in the distance your bait reaches.

Is the cup safe for soft groundbait?

Yes, the specialized cradle cup is designed specifically to cradle soft bait without crushing it.

Are parts available if the elastic breaks?

Yes, spare pouches and replacement latex sets are available for this specific model.

How should I clean the catapult?

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the cup and frame after use, and allow it to dry in a shaded area.

Troubleshooting

Elastic losing tension or accuracy

Check the latex for cracks or signs of UV damage and replace the elastic assembly.

Bait ball breaking up during launch

Ensure the bait is not too dry and verify that it is properly seated in the center of the cradle cup.

Pouch snagging on the frame

Ensure the elastic is not twisted when pulled and check the pouch connection points for alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent accuracy for 20m-30m range
  • Cradle cup design prevents bait deformation
  • Gentle delivery keeps bait intact
  • Replaceable elastic and pouches extend product life

Cons

  • Limited to short-to-medium range distances
  • Not suitable for heavy, hard-packed bait balls
  • Requires proper technique for consistent results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your catapult, avoid storing the latex elastic in direct sunlight, as UV rays cause degradation. After each fishing session, wipe the cup and frame clean of bait residue to prevent chemical breakdown of the materials. When attaching a new pouch or elastic, ensure the knots are secure and the tubing is not twisted. The system is designed to be easily maintained, so keep spare elastic sets in your tackle box to replace them immediately if you notice signs of cracking or loss of tension.
