I used to use a ladle and a cut-off plastic baseball bat. That was two tools to keep up with, two hands to use in the process of chumming which meant my hands weren't free to guide the motor or do other tasks to set up for fishing. It's cumbersome. Eventually I lost the ball bat, and I couldn't find the big plastic ball bats anywhere in town. Realizing I needed a solution, looked high and low, and tried various "work-arounds" that either threw out too much chum, couldn't throw it far enough, or couldn't cover enough area. The solution came when I saw carp fishermen overseas using what lookes like an old spear-throwing device called an atlatl. In ancient times they figured out how to throw spear farther and faster by adding a throwing device that acted like and extension of the arm. It give greater leverage, so you can throw chum at faster speeds and longer distances, cover more area in less time. This way you can concentrate on fishing instead of chumming. I ordered a small batch from a manufacturer from where the product was used for a totally different purpose. Anyway both tools in one solves the problem and help me spread chum faster over longer distances to cover a greater area, to catch more fish. *NOT TOXIC-Safe for animal use. You won't have to worry about polluting the river or lakes by chumming with this tool. *GOOD GRIP-Four finger indents secure a positive grip that helps prevent slips, so you wont accidentally throw your chummer overboard. *LIGHTWEIGHT-Polymer design means lightweight so you can chum all day without tiring. *LAYNYARD HOLE-Put a rope or string in the small hole at handle's end to add even more security when placed around your wrist. *Get one and get chumming!
