Never really thought about it from Dave's perspective but I suppose we have been conditioned to accept multiple breakages as just what happens. I've just managed to actually get hold of one of the larger Matrix catty's to try it out after plugging away with the Drennan pults for years! I also preferred the older pouches like Dave 👍
Interesting comparison. This year I’ve used the matrix slik catapult on the pole and have to say it has been brilliant & much better than my preston or drennan.
Liked the drennan medium but elastic snapped. Limited range for dry pellets however down to light ammo. Because sent a stone about 80 yards. Yet i wanna slung dry pellets far but without a loud crack. And a mesh pouch
Matrix catapult is definitely better at grouping. 1-2 sessions of feeding on pellet waggler/bomb and I expect the elastic to fail. Not sure if pellet oils ( I use Sonubaits) add to the speed of degradation. It’s seems to in my experience.
Great video guys love both catapult but as I'm a hybrid elastic guy I'm sold on the matrix as I've plenty of left over elastic for repairs got to save a pound or two 😂😂 looking forward to Preston version coming out as it looks like it could be even easier to fix Ps I think we go through so much cati elastic like pole elastic as it's out in the sun all day
1 session on the pellet waggler wrecks a catapult, biggest rip off in the fishing industry......catapults, and don't get me started on the price of replacement pouches and elastics.
I often wonder why people tollerate poor quality with fishing gear. I had a terrible experience with a high end maver poke that just used to break with normal use " playing fish on relatively light gear". I had to endure all sorts of gaslighting as people made comments such as "poles break sometimes" or " you must be heavy handed" there was clearly a fault with this pole and i ended up severely out of pocket. The attitude from maver was disgusting
Sorry guys , I know your good ANGLERS , but for some reason you never hold my attention ? , it might be your presentation skills or as a couple you do not gel , sorry but I have to be honest 😢
