Product Information
Full details
The Preston Innovations Mega Soft Cad Pot is an essential tool for anglers targeting commercial fisheries who need to deliver large quantities of bait with precision. Designed for those who utilize power kits and margin poles, its lightweight construction protects your top kits from damage while the perforated body ensures a smooth, vacuum-free bait release. While it excels at bulk feeding, users should note that its increased size makes it less suitable for ultra-fine, precise micro-spot feeding compared to smaller, non-perforated alternatives.

FAQs
Is this pot safe to use on expensive carbon poles?
Yes, it is designed with a lightweight construction specifically to minimize stress and prevent damage to top kits.
Can I use this for liquid baits?
No, the perforated design is intended for solid baits like pellets, corn, and groundbait; liquids will leak out immediately.
Will this fit a standard match kit?
It is optimized for power kits and margin poles; it may be too large or heavy for thin, delicate match kits.
How do I clean the perforations?
A soft-bristle brush and warm water will easily dislodge any bait particles trapped in the holes.
Why does the pot have holes in it?
The holes prevent a vacuum from forming, which allows the bait to release instantly when the pot is tipped.
Can it be used for winter fishing?
Yes, but be mindful of the volume of bait; in cold conditions, you may want to use less bait than in the warmer summer months.
Troubleshooting
Bait is sticking inside the pot
Ensure the perforations are not blocked by dried bait or mud; clean the pot thoroughly and ensure it is dry before filling.
Pot feels loose on the pole tip
Check if the pole tip is within the compatible diameter range or apply a thin layer of grip tape to the tip to provide better friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Mega Soft Cad Pot, slide the pot onto the mounting point of your pole tip. Ensure it is secured firmly but avoid overtightening to protect the carbon fiber of your pole. Because of its increased bore diameter, it is best suited for power kits; check the tip diameter of your specific pole to ensure a snug fit.
Care instructions include washing the pot in clean water after every session to remove sticky bait residues like groundbait or fish oils, which can clog the perforations over time. Store the pot in a dry place, ideally within a hard-case tackle box, to prevent the lightweight plastic from being crushed during transport.
