A catapult is a small but essential tackle item for keen match and coarse anglers who like to take on the challenges of a range of venues, giving you a quick, effortless way to get your bait out to the centre of a large venue, close, perhaps, to features such as islands and structures, or over to the far margins, where larger fish are known to lurk.
Giving you a particular edge on pressured venues, an easy way to get your bait out to hard to reach spots means you're more likely to enjoy catching success, as fish, used to bait falling in other areas of the venue, have no reason to be wary when it comes to an unexpected dividend that drops down in their quiet, unreached spot.
