groundbait throwing stick

[Sportsman]

I was watching the video on polaris float and at 1minute 30 the angler uses a throwing stick for putting out balls of groundbait at distance.

This one must have passed me by. I have seen them for throwing boilies but not for groundbait. I quite like the idea and it shouldn't be too hard to make something like it.

Any of you guys use one? Pros and cons?

I think that something like this is what I was talking about, screwd to a bit of old landing net pole it should work.

The Pound Shop sells a plastic gizmo to dog owners who want to lob their balls towards the horizon. Basically a flexible stick with a cup on the end, shaped to hold a dog's balls. Replace dogs balls with balls of groundbait, simple!

A wet ball of groundbait the size of a tennis ball would weigh considerably more than said tennis ball though. Would the throwing device be sturdy enough to get any kind of distance or not just snap?

Addicted,

 

Some we have are fiberglass (or carbon fiber?). I wouldn't worry as much about the stick as the guy throwing it.

Surely they'd disintegrate when the dog washes itself...

How about a Trebuchet it would knock spodding into a cocked hat

Well that explains the yelps of pain in the local park.
