Catapults are one of the most practical tools for targeted and even delivery of groundbait, whether for close-to-shore or long-distance fishing. Catapults of different sizes and strengths allow pellets, boilies, or fine-grained groundbait to be placed exactly where desired. Choosing the right catapult is crucial for the success of fishing, as inaccurate baiting can significantly reduce the number of bites.

Why use a catapult for baiting?
Catapults allow you to quickly and effectively deliver groundbait to the right spot without needing to use a spomb or bait rocket. The flexible rubber of the catapults ensures the appropriate casting distance, while the basket design helps prevent the groundbait from scattering in the air. Preston catapults are made with ergonomic handles and replaceable rubbers, guaranteeing comfortable use and a long lifespan.

Which catapult should I choose for different baiting methods?
For delicate and float fishing, smaller catapults with softer rubbers are recommended, ensuring precise baiting without scattering the groundbait. For boilie and feeder fishing, it's worth choosing catapults with stronger rubbers that can deliver heavier pellets or boilies over longer distances. Trabucco catapults are available with different basket sizes, so you can easily find the one that suits your needs.

How to extend the lifespan of your catapult?
Regular maintenance of the catapult's rubber is essential for a long lifespan. It's worth wiping the rubber occasionally and avoiding direct sunlight, which can weaken the material. Replaceable rubbers and baskets ensure that the catapult always provides optimal performance. Mikado catapults are made from durable materials that withstand weather conditions and frequent use.
