Ive has a couple cheapie plastic and metal ones in the past, more than once the elastic/rubber  has snapped and I've taken my own left hook to the snout 😂 

Tend to stick to shotguns now so I can keep my face away from the dangerous end haha.

Nice trick with the screws and at the pouch end for fixing the elastic, I used to double the elastic back and whip it with button thread. Whichever way you do it this is where the elastic breaks.

Modern fishing cattys have nice little plastic mouldings for this but that would be cheating on a fine cherry wood piece such as this :no:

Another  fine job Simon now what you going to use as amo, ball bearings was my choice. Some yoused nuts but I always thought one nut on the end of a gadder was enough! 😁

3/4" gravel and 3/4" UNF nuts are the prefered ammo for cuontry terrorists

Cant see any notches on the handle my boi , or are they only reserved for special occasions like downing an ole long tail , also I am a bit dubious about the quality of the elastic:hmm: , mind you, it is most likely to be far better than the 3/16 square type we used to buy from Southebys in Middle Market Road , now that's going back a bit :yes:

Kerbooom !   :good:You'll be able to pick off the ferals on the sugar beet factory Ditchy . 

I nipped in and saw the butcher today at Acle. Picked up some gret ol' pork chops and lamb cutlets. He's in fine form and sends his regards.  

 

if you use 3/4" genuine norfolk gravel ...its like been hit by a slow moving .458 Winchester.........cept you can hear it a' comin as it sizzles thro the air ..:lol:

had a couple of chops off him a while ago ...and made some fresh apple sauce for em' ......beautifool.......

So that's where the elastic comes from. I thought that coil of it in the first photos was not a standard size :hmm:
