Full details

It is an ideal tool for precise baiting with a wide variety of baits, including maggots, particles, pellets, boilies, and floaters.

Troubleshooting
Elastic is twisting during use
Ensure that the anti-twist fittings are clear of debris and that the elastic is seated correctly in the frame swivels.
Inconsistent bait grouping

Pouch is not releasing bait cleanly
Check for dried bait residue on the interior of the pouch and clean it with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speci-Pult, regularly inspect the surgical elastics for signs of perishing or cracking, especially if exposed to direct, intense sunlight for long periods. After each fishing session, wipe the frame and the pouch clean of bait residue, particularly after using sticky pellets or maggots, to prevent the material from degrading. Store the unit in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the elastic. To prevent premature wear, avoid over-stretching the elastics beyond their design limits during use.
