Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, always inspect the natural latex band before each fishing trip. Look for signs of UV damage, perishing, or small fissures, especially near the attachment points. Store the catapult away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these factors significantly accelerate the degradation of the latex. If the elastic loses its snap or shows visible signs of wear, replace it immediately to prevent snapping during use. When replacing the pouch or elastic, ensure all knots are secure and tightened before attempting to load bait.
