A couple of weeks ago I made a homemade throwing stick from a section of old fibreglass landing net. This is most certainly not a new idea (they have been around for donkeys years) but it is the first time I have used one for small baits. I now much prefer it to a catapult and have used it with hemp, tares, dead maggots, pellets and sweetcorn.
It is simple to make, 22 inches long, a slight angle at the top with a cork jammed about 11/2 inches from the top. I have found it quick to use and more accurate than a catapult. Though a catapult will fire baits farther.
About 30 years ago, before the curved Cobra throwing stick came out I used a section of glass fibre pole for boilies.
