Guru Catapult

<p>I&#39;ve given this catapult a four star revue. But my lack of experience with a catapult may make that rating a bit unfair. Adjustment wise, it does exactly what it says on the packet. Move the pegs and it fires out to different distances with ease. Which is very handy. What I did find though, was that rather than the pellets landing tight to my float, they sprayed in an area around it. And sometimes quite a large area at that! Bearing in mind that I was following Mr Ringers advice on using the pellet waggler, I found this to be a bit frustrating. (In case you haven&#39;t seen Fishing Gurus, he advises you to only fire out 3 or 4 pellets at a time). I have to admit though that I may just need more practice with the catapult. I did manage to get twists in the elastic, and I did end up wearing my pellets quite a few times. But I like the feel and build quality of the catapult so I will persevere with it. I think that given a bit more quality time with the catapult I can hopefully cure these problems.</p>

It seems hit and miss. You may catapult your bait several times with no issues, then other times it ends up everywhere but where you want it, including your lap. And yes, it does twist.

Love this catty and adjustable elastic , and yes it does tangle.

What a great tray. Ideal for any seat box. Well made and strong. With the support leg it makes it more stable.There is plenty of room for everything you need.

Great catapult from Guru. It does what they say. You alter the length with the six settings and get an accurate distance every time. I've used it on the sixth setting and the distance you can get is very far. Would recomend this catapult to anyone.

Great product

I pre-ordered this item and when arrived was amazed at how good it was and spent over an hour in my garden firing pellets for the dog and not once did the catapult tangle. I also used the adjustment holes and it really does work a treat. A great product!! Well done Guru

It's the latest offering from the Guru stable and I've instantly fallen in love with the very clever design. It's a nice universal size with a decent stay-open pouch with an easy-to-grab toggle on the end. the best bit by far, though, is the adjustable mechanism inside the frame that allows you to vary the length of the elastic. You simply slot a couple of pegs into different spots in the frame to make the elastic longer or shorter. It's such a simple concept and makes you wonder why no one has come up with it before!

Let us introduce the newest catapult on the block! Its easily the most versatile pult available today and were expecting a big response to its release. Heres why. Rather than just releasing another standard catty, the Guru team decided to redesign this version from the ground up. The result is a pult that allows close grouping of feed at a multitude of ranges. You see, the strong elastic runs through the remarkable hollow frame of the Catapult allowing the elastics to be tensioned across six different positions along the frame. This allows you to vary the tension in the elastic to hit a variety of ranges consistently throughout your session. The elastics themselves are extremely strong and durable. However, when you do need to change them , youll be pleased to note that there are spare elastics available. The pouch has been designed to allow unrivalled accuracy of feeding, grouping baits like maggots, casters, pellets and corn with extremely tightly. The accuracy that these pults allow will make be the difference between second and first in your next match! The catapults will be hitting the shelves either just this side of Christmas or just into the new year.

If you fish on fresh waters one piece of equipment you will all have own in one form or another during our angling lifetime is a catapult. From the basic catapult we all start out with that we used for absolutely everything, right through to becoming the owner of your own catapult armoury, they are like odd socks, we all own em. As anglers skills progress and develop, so do the requirements and functions of a catapult, you soon learn that to achieve the best from any baited area you need a catapult that can give you pin point accuracy. To achieve this you end up with a multitude of catapult, one for each type of bait that you use and distance you require you bait to travel, to ensure you get your feed right where you want it every time. Over the years numerous companies have developed and released catapults that have tensioning systems that are designed to give you variable distance control but many of these have failed to capture the imagination or support of the angling masses. The latest catapult offering that is due to reach our retailers shelves in mid November 2011 is from Essex based GURU in my opinion one of the most ingenious catapults I have come across. They have come up with a catapult that is fully adjustable, with 6 different precise settings that makes it possible to set the elastics tension to the required torque to put your bait exactly where you want it every time with total control and confidence. This has been made achievable by stepping back from the convention solid armed construction found on a conventional catapult and totally re-designing them. The GURU catapult arms have a channel down one side which houses the elastic and incorporates six evenly spaced slots with locking holes. These enable you to pull the connector that the elastic is attached too out of the arm and then re-locate it into another slot. To create a greater tension simply move the connector down the catapults arm closer to the handle. To hold the elastic in place, simply rotate the orange collar on the bend of the arm until the gap lines up with the channel and once the elastic is in place, rotate to secure and simply reverse the above for less tension. TOP TIP - always ensuring that both elastics are evenly tensioned for optimum performance. If the elastic is unbalanced your feeding accuracy and grouping will be erratic. TOP FEATURE - One of the biggest problems with conventional catapult designs is when you are feeding regularly, the elastic has an uncanny habit of twisting and we all know how annoying this can be. This problem occurs simply because the standard catapult pouches have solid attachments with no movement or rotation. So what GURU has done is gone back to the drawing board and re-designed the pouch. This new catapult pouch design incorporating two rotating attachments that allow the elastic to spin and are claimed to eliminate elastic twist and the accompanying tangles. UKMA can inform you that after feeding over one hundred pouches of maggots and not experiencing a single tangle or elastic twist, it looks like GURU have eliminate the problem of elastic twist and pouch entanglement, WELL DONE!! I always thought a catapult was a catapult and that would be that but after spending 4 hours playing around on the bank with this latest offering from GURU tackle my opinion has truly changed. They have taken all the faults found on conventional catapults and thrown them in the bin, to produce a catapult that can accurately feed maggots, caster, pellets and particles as well as any I catapult we have used but without the tangles and twists (they can also be used to accurately feed a single 18mm boillie up to 50 yards easily). The new GURU CATAPULT will be in your local tackle shops in the next few weeks and will carry a retail &pound;5.99 each. There will also be a range of spares parts including pouches and elastics and UKMA will give you more info on these when it becomes available.
