Did You Know? Number Four

Did You Know -That it wasn’t until after the 1971 fishing season that Catapults were allowed in matches. The following press cutting identifies two anglers apparently caught using them in the 1971 ATSWWL series.

After this we were all soon making our own lethal weapons from a variety of materials, as the only one you could purchase at the time was a small aluminium framed version made by Millbro (pictured right), which wasn’t much good for anglers due to the small frame. Believe it or not they are still on sale for a mere £20!


My favourite one is pictured below – “The Sutton Pult”.
