The Drennan Softfeed Groundbait Catapult with Soft Elastic is a highly specialized accessory for coarse fishing, developed to improve baiting efficiency while keeping delicate groundbait intact. Unlike standard catapults, it features a soft elastic band that provides smooth, controlled tension, making it easier to launch bait with accuracy over shorter distances, typically between 20 and 30 meters.

The pouch of the catapult is specifically designed to cradle soft bait, hand-shaped balls, pellets, or sweetcorn without crushing or scattering them, which is critical when targeting cautious fish that are easily spooked by broken or unevenly distributed bait. Its ergonomic handle and lightweight design allow anglers to cast repeatedly over long sessions without experiencing fatigue, while the soft elastic reduces recoil and strain on the wrist and arm.

Durability is a key aspect of the design. The elastic is made of high-quality latex, offering long-term elasticity and resilience, and the pouch is constructed from tough yet flexible material, capable of handling both dry and moist bait without tearing. Replacement elastics and pouches are available, allowing anglers to maintain optimal performance over years of use. This catapult is particularly suited for rivers, lakes, and still waters where precision baiting can make a significant difference in attracting fish. The gentle yet effective launch mechanism ensures that bait lands exactly where intended, minimizing waste and maximizing feeding efficiency.
