I was checking out some video's on youtube and was just curious if anyone has ever used one and what they think. I posted a link to one of the video's.

My friend built one. Will be testing at Rollover Pass in near future. We watched all the YouTubes and googled them and put one together with PVC

That would be so cool. I just wonder what the Park Rangers at PINS would say about that one.

Threat to National Security....Rocket propelled grenade ! The ATF would be called in

Lol

There's a reason why kayaks are the most used method of getting baits out...

The biggest hangup I have with these things is, how do you keep the bait/leader/hook/weight from getting all tangled up upon launching?

I see one method is to freeze it all in a chunk of ice, but that measn a lot of advance prep and storage.

I always thought those water balloon slingshots had possibilities. Wink

Yep learn to long distance cast or get a kayak. But for pure redneck "hold my beer" entertainment those are fun to think about. Very Happy

I have been researching the law on these "bait launchers". They are not considered a "gun" per se because they used compressed air, however, I have found one case where they classified it as a "gun" when they used "propane" as the gas. Will keep everyone in the loop as things develop. My goal is to understand the law and the regulations, then see if I can make one that is Federally Legal. As far as launching baits, google "spomb bomb" Interesting devise to contain biat without freezing it and you can see how you could take this concept to the4 next level of fresh bait delivery.

We had one out a couple years back. Definitely need to figure out how to freeze bait, weight, leader into a projectile shape. Ours was potato, then spider weight, then bait. The weight was shredding both the potato and the bait. We did have a blast though, so to speak.
