Fishing with a slingshot

If you are a passionate fisherman and outdoor activity enthusiast, it is important to have the right equipment. After all, what's the point of spending time and energy on fishing if your equipment isn't working as it should?

Just as effective as a fishing rod, fishing slingshots are used to hunt all kinds of fish, as well as alligators, rays, and sharks. The bigger the catch, the heavier the weight of the line should be. To achieve the best speed when you're fishing with a slingshot, you must match the right reel with the best line and arrow. This can vary depending on the fish you want to catch, where are you fishing, and the reel. Spinning reels generally offer the best speed and accuracy.

Hattila, your archery specialist, offers you a wide choice of high-quality fishing slingshots to satisfy all your needs and expectations as a fisherman-hunter. Get this throwing weapon to fish in a much more fun way! Also, discover all the ammunition necessary for your activity with our range of arrows for fishing slingshots.

Fishing slingshot characteristics

  • The kit

The standard kit for slingshot fishing includes a sling, a fishing stand, a fishing reel (with or without a line), and a flashlight holder. Some also include arrows and ammunition, but they can also be sold separately.

  • The line

Most of the kits are delivered without a line because how you want to use them may be different from another kit. As a general rule, the fishing line is either braided nylon, spectrally, or dacron, and its weight is between 0.17 and 1.32 lbs (80 and 600g).

  • The reel

You can also choose a fishing reel adapted to your activity, the most popular are the retriever, spincast, and hand wrap reels. The hand reel has a circular spool around which you manually wind your line, while a retriever reel holds the line in place.

The most popular solution for fish slingers is the line reel. Outdoor enthusiasts with advanced skills prefer pin reels because of their superior speed and accuracy.

  • The arrows

The arrow is one of the most essential elements of any fishing kit. Most are made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, or solid aluminum. They are not intended to travel far, but to propel themselves towards a target with great force. The barbs of the arrow are also designed to stay stuck in the fish until the angler unhooks them.

Some technical tips

As with the different components of your sling fishing kit, the technique is also instrumental for successful fishing.

  1. First of all, the best way to catch a fish with a slingshot is to dare. The closer you are to the fish, the easier you can use your slingshot skills.
  2. Secondly, you should always aim low. Often, fish slingers lose the opportunity to catch the big fish because they aim too high.
