I have used this particular slingshot in 5-6 fishing trips, so I cannot yet give an opinion on its durability over time. However, its plastic parts appear to be of good quality. The shots also come out well, accurate, and with a satisfactory spread of the bait at the point of impact.

What matters most to me, in my opinion, is the way the rubber bands are attached to the ends of the slingshot, with these white clips as shown in the photo. These can be rotated internally, so in case a rubber band twists, all you have to do is turn the clip in the right direction to straighten the rubber band instead of having both rubber bands, along with the bait pouch, flip over as many times as it would take if the rubber bands were securely tied to the ends of the slingshot. This is very convenient, especially if you realize in a second that a rubber band has twisted while you have already filled the pouch with bait (fly nymph or whatever else). In other words, you save the time it would take to empty and refill the pouch or to juggle to keep it full as the rubber bands twist.
