Thanks again for the help. The irrigation supply company had the 1.5"
Class 200.
This was a fun project with my 13-yr old son. It works as advertised -
easily shooting 600'+!

This made an awesome Christmas gift for my sons.
Nothing says happy holidays like launching bait pucks and bullets a couple
hundred yards! Great simple and safe design.
Thanks,
Tim
Hi, my name is Price,
I use my bait launcher for launching a tool line over the
tops of the trees on my property so I can trim the
branches.
Since the trees are over 100 feet tall, the air cannon is
the only way to launch a lead line over the tops of the higher
branches.
This cannon is also a great source of entertainment when my
grandsons come to visit. As you can see we had fun painting it
with some spackle furniture paint.
These cannons are the best... Price Bethel
Mick,
Thanks. Didn't have a camera handy. But I did have my video
camera.
We had a great time building the bait launcher. An evening of
assembly and a coat of hammered silver paint and we were ready
to go.
My nephew and I had as much fun shooting at targets as
shooting the bait pucks and seeing how far they would
go. Thanks for the great plans!

Mick,
Attached is a picture of myself

Hi, my name is Jeff Bracken,
and I am a high school chemistry teacher who purchased the plans for your
Fishing Bait Launcher last fall. It is with great joy that I tell you that my
physics students fired over 80 bait pucks off the beach last week's
fishing tournament. Absolutely terrific to see the physics kids getting
recognized by the older anglers.
I shared your website with about 35 Central Ohio HS chemistry teachers at a
meeting today. They were incredibly impressed with the finished product (my
bait launcher). I hope that they will contact you to purchase the plans. What I
said a year ago still holds true, the $20 for the purchase of your plans was an
incredibly worthwhile investment.
Thanks again... Jeff Bracken
To whom it may concern:
I have purchased plans and build the fishing bait launcher. It has worked
phenomenal and have got much enjoyment out of it. Not just myself but also many
many friends when we use it for fishing.
I did purchase a portable CO2 compressor to facilitate wtih the loading process. I
am inquiring if it is possible to convert this type of cannon into a self -loading
repeating bait launcher? If you have any suggestions or answers please share this
information with me or let me know if it is available.
Thank you Ricardo Ledesma
Dear Fishing Bait Launchers,
The Bait Launcher is great. Kick ass. The orbit valve has a lever
that manually bypasses the solenoid. No real need to tap the valve. Also I
installed an air nozzle inline with my air feed. After launch you just squeeze
the nozzle to desired pressure and boom, launch again. I also used all
galvanized steel fittings from the valve to the launch tube except for the slip
bushing.
Talk to you soon Thanks again for the excellent design
Dear Fishing Bait Launchers,
"I did a few things to trick it out and then took it to the beach to test.
At 85psi, it shoots about 250 yards. I will try to take some pics and send them
when I get the chance."

Dear Fishing Bait Launchers,
"The Bait Cannon worked awesome during our family fishing trip to
Mexico, thanks for working so quickly with me."

Dear Fishing Bait Launchers.com,
My Bait Cannonis awesome. I was surprised at the amount of recoil it has
when I load the barrel with water. The only item I had trouble getting was the
pressure gauge. I finally ordered it from Amazon.com, but it cost $12 plus
another $7 for tax and shipping. Do you have any better suggestions?
Thanks, Patrick
Dear Fishing Bait Launchers.com,
I successfully completed building the bait cannon and I must say I’m very
pleased! It works as well as you said and was fairly straightforward and easy
to build.
Thank you, Tim Arnold
Dear Fishing Bait Launchers,
"We all loved the fishing bait launcher! Our local fishermen love
using it to shoot the bait further than they can cast. This keeps the baot away
from frightening the fish."!!!

Dear Fishing Bait Launchers,
Your plans and additional suggestions are probably the best $20 investment I
ever made!
Jeff
Dear Fishing Bait Launchers.com,
The fishing bait cannon just arrived and my husband LOVES it! He said to
congratulate you on your ingenuity and design and declared anything that is
dangerous, runs on compressed air, has a trigger, and fires something is the
best present ever.
