Product Information
Full details
The Drennan Soft Feed Groundbait Catapult is designed for serious anglers who demand precision bait delivery at medium-to-long ranges. It is ideal for those targeting distance marks between 40m and 50m with various bait types, including groundbait balls and larger pellets. While its X-Strong elastic provides the necessary power for longer reaches, it requires a steady hand and practice to master the tension for consistent groupings at maximum distance.

FAQs
What is the ideal range for this catapult?
This model is specifically optimized for distances between 40m and 50m.
Can I use this with maggots?
While it is designed for larger baits like groundbait balls and pellets, it will hold maggots, but you may find it overpowered for very small quantities.
How often should I replace the elastic?
This depends on frequency of use; replace it as soon as you notice cracking, stickiness, or a noticeable decrease in power.
Are spare pouches available?
Yes, Drennan offers replacement pouches and elastic kits for this model.
Does the cup work with wet groundbait?
Yes, the cup is designed to cradle groundbait, but ensure your mix is firm enough to handle the initial acceleration of the catapult.
Troubleshooting
Bait is scattering during the shot
Ensure your groundbait balls are compressed consistently and verify the pouch is dry before loading.
Elastic is losing snap back
Check for UV damage or perishing; replace the latex elastic if it feels sticky or brittle.
Pouch is pulling to one side
Inspect the connection points for debris and ensure the elastic is seated evenly in the frame arms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your catapult, avoid over-stretching the X-Strong elastic beyond its natural limit, as this will lead to premature degradation. When storing, keep the latex components out of direct sunlight and away from high-heat sources to prevent the material from perishing. If you notice a reduction in power or elasticity, replace the latex before it snaps to avoid potential injury. Always check the pouch connection points before each session to ensure there are no signs of wear. If you find the elastic has lost its snap, swap it out with official Drennan spares to maintain the factory-standard performance level.
