badger boilie throwing stick

[nicky]

I was looking to buy my first throwing stick, i saw this one on ebay for £7 is there any advantage in buying a more expensive one

korda easy sticks only a couple of £ more,not seen a badger one,but imagine it will be tatt like the rest of there tackle.

Seeing as they're only a bent plastic tube I'd guess there will be nowt wrong with the badger stick. I use the easy stick too and there a good bit of kit if you don't leave them in direct sunlight on a really hot day

It can take a while to get the hang of a throwing stick but once you have the knack there is no quicker way of putting a bed of boilies out.

I have a Gardner Scorpion stick and I am happy to admit that it is difficult to get the knack of it, I would sooner use a catapult if I am in range.

Be prepared to practice a lot before proficiency levels increase!!

Seven quid, they're only £4 here (which IMO is still overpriced for a length of plastic pipe): Throwing stick --- Ultimate Direct Factory Outlet Store

I'd say there's no advantage in buying a more expensive version.

Nah, up to a range of 60-70 yards a catapult is far quicker and quicker than that is one of those bait scoops, this sort of thing: BRAND NEW BAIT / FOOD / GROUNDBAIT SCOOP FOR FISHING | eBay

i can guarantee the first few will land by your feet! it does take a while to get the hang of. Wouldn't have thought there's a huge difference between the badger one and a more expensive model.

Only reason i want one is that im planning on night fishing a water for carp this year where i fished a couple of times last year and the only people to catch were firing boilies a long way to an island and fishing single hook baits over the top.
There are so may bream and silvers anything else gets mopped up in seconds.

i've been thinking of buying a groundbait catapult as well this year for medium range fishing would i be better off getting one of those bait scoops i wonder?

I use a Korda easi stick and have no problems. For the sake of a couple of quid get a Korda.

I actually thought you were turning badgers into boilies !!! phew them farmers would not mind , its badger bashing time again with tb .
Drennan boilie catapult supposed to be good if you dont fancy baiting most of the lake with a stick.

Scoops spread alot and I can't can the range a catapult can, TBH I much prefer to use a stick for all my baiting with boilies. Once you get the hang of a stick they're far quicker than a catapult and I can certainly use a stick more accurately. The trick is to work out how many boilies you need to get a certain distance on 'full power' and whilst using the stick keep it moving in a straight line.

If you're going for maxium range damp the inside of the stick with a little lake water and use frozen or air dried baits so they don't split. 20mm baits will go further than 15mm baits.

your air-dried baits will be too light to get any distance with a stick,if its distance your after'then try adding limestone flour and a bit off extra egg albumen to your mix,this will give the bait extra weight and give the baits a tougher skin to stop them splitting.
