Guru Adjustable Catapult

Guru Adjustable Catapult – The Ultimate Precision Feeding Tool

The Guru Adjustable Catapult has set a new benchmark for accuracy and versatility in match and pleasure fishing. Engineered to solve the common problem of inconsistent baiting, this catapult features a unique adjustable frame with 6 distinct tension positions. By changing the anchor point of the elastic, you can fine-tune the power to hit the exact same distance every time, ensuring your “feed area” remains tight and concentrated.

Whether you are “pinging” a few maggots over a pole float or launching a pouch full of pellets to a distant waggler line, the Guru catapult provides the consistency needed to build a swim effectively. Built with high-quality, low-diameter elastic and a specialized pouch, it is designed for maximum lifespan and minimum tangling.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

Pro Tip: To maximize the life of your elastic, always store your catapult out of direct sunlight when not in use, as UV rays can cause latex to perish. When using the adjustable settings, start with a lower tension than you think you need. It is much easier to increase the tension to reach a target than it is to “feel” a consistent partial pull on a high-tension setting. Once you find the setting that hits your float with a full pull, lock it in for ultimate consistency!

Examples of Where to Use

• Pole Fishing: Use the lower tension settings to accurately drop small amounts of bait (like 4mm pellets or maggots) directly over your pole tip with minimal splash.

• Waggler/Pellet Waggler: Set the frame to a higher tension to reach distance marks. The adjustable settings ensure your feed lands exactly where your float is sitting, rather than falling short or overshooting.

• River Fishing: Ideal for “trickling” maggots or hemp into a downstream swim. The grouping pouch ensures the bait doesn’t spread too wide, keeping the fish concentrated in a narrow line.

• Commercial Carp Fishing: Perfect for firing out 6mm or 8mm pellets to draw fish into the upper layers of the water during the warmer months.

Key Features

• 6-Position Adjustment: Allows you to change the elastic length instantly to vary your range without changing your “pull” technique.

• Anti-Tangle Design: The frame and elastic attachments are engineered to minimize the “wrap-around” tangles that often plague traditional catapults.

• High-Visibility Elastic: Easy to track the pull-length and check for any signs of wear or tear.

• Ergonomic Grip: Fits comfortably in the hand for repetitive feeding, which is essential during a five-hour match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy replacement elastics?

Yes. One of the best features of the Guru system is that it is fully modular. You can purchase spare Guru Elastics and Pouches separately, meaning you don’t have to buy a whole new catapult if the elastic eventually wears out.

What is the “grouping pouch” for?

Traditional pouches often allow bait to scatter in a wide “shotgun” pattern. The Guru pouch is shaped to keep the bait together during the initial flight, resulting in a much tighter area of feed on the water’s surface.

Is it suitable for large boilies?

While it can fire small boilies, this catapult is optimized for “match” style baits like pellets, maggots, and grains. For large-scale baiting with 20mm boilies at extreme range, a dedicated “boilie pult” might be better, but for everything up to 10mm, the Guru Adjustable is perfect.
