With the birth of the recent Hybrid feeder, which is made using a new type of material where the weight is in the body of the feeder, rather than being a separate weight, it made it possible to produce a feeder with the correct weight to make it efficient and useable in most fishing situations.
One cast with a Guru Method Feeder and you’ll understand why it’s shaped like it is. The team made long, stable casting a real priority and the weight-forward design really delivers this. These feeders cut across testing crosswinds, like a dart, allowing you to consistently hit the spot, effortlessly building your swim. The colour of the frame is anything but an afterthought. Steve drew upon what he knows of the underwater environment to choose a colour that melts inconspicuously into most lake bed types.
The durable camo paint finish blends into any lake bed and the flared design allows for easy loading and quick release of bait and scent into the water. Slots in the top of the feeder and holes in the base, as seen on the Hybrid method feeder range, allow the water to reach the pellets to start breaking down quickly after casting. The unbreakable design has been perfected over many months of testing by Adam Rooney, Pemb Wrighting, Steve Ringer and the Guru team and the feeders are X-Safe compatible, meaning they can be used with Guru’s safe elasticated stem system.
Plenty of holes in the frame of the feeder ensure that the bait that you pack onto it can be sucked off the feeder almost as soon as the feeder hits the deck, allowing you to convert bites quickly. It’s extremely quick to load too, which allows you to spend more time ‘on fish’ when you’re in the zone. To load, all you do is thumb a little dampened pellet into the base of the feeder, pop your hook bait on top and press a little more pellet over the top, slightly less firmly.
The Commercial Cage Feeders have been designed to replace the existing cage feeders. The Guru design team have kept the shape and design similar but made huge improvements to the strength and usability. The feeders are almost indestructible, with a weight forward design to boost casting distance and accuracy.
The Guru Cage Feeder is the latest addition to the growing range. They’re super-versatile and will appeal to both commercial match anglers and specimen hunters, targeting the rivers in search of chub, barbel and bream. The development team carried forward what they’d learnt when designing the other feeders and applied it to these cage versions, of which there are four sizes.
These small free running booms help to avoid tangles when feeder fishing by separating the feeder from the mainline and hooklength.
These quick-change Drennan Method Connectors allow you to quickly change feeders and hooklengths. They are designed to go with the Drennan In-Line Flat Method Feeders and Pellet Feeders but they are also suitable for lots of other uses where a quick change connection is required. They provide an easy loop-to-loop, slimline join which locates neatly back inside the body of an inline feeder. The rubber sleeve semi locks into a central position for security and the internal moulding has a breaking strain of approximately 36lb (16kg), making it an extra-strong connection method.
With this improved design of Drennan In-Line Flat Method Feeder, both the lead in the flat base and the bait load distribute the weight into an aerodynamic bomb shape.
• Quick-change design • Lockable insert • Aerodynamic shape • Extra-weighted nose • Subtle flatbed design • Colour matched to blend in on all lakebeds The Flatbed Method Feeders allow you to present a parcel of bait with your hookbait inside. Due to the unique quick-change design, you can change the size and weight of the feeder you are using in a matter of seconds. You can even create a drop off presentation with the feeder if you want to eject it when targeting carp on weedy venues. To aid casting, the Flatbed Method feeders have a weighted nose and an aerodynamic design. The Feeders have a low profile and are finished in a subtle colour, so they are extremely inconspicuous on the bottom. The feeders are availble in two sizes (small and large). The small feeders and are available in 1.5oz or 2oz and the large in 2.5oz or 3oz.
Designed to be used in conjunction with the Avid Flatbed Feeders, these Method Moulds feature a unique push-button design. The Moulds allows you to perfectly load feeders full of groundbait or pellets super-compact and the same size every time, which makes casting accurately much easier. Available in small and large.
