You’ll notice that the feeders are supplied with two rigid stems, one that allows them to be used as an inline system, and the other that allows it to be used as a conventional swivel-type feeder, either running, or semi-fixed on a lead clip. The robust plastic frame is overmoulded onto the lead, which makes it much more hardwearing than conventional feeders. The frame itself is tinted with a subtle camo colour, which blends perfectly with a whole host of lakebed conditions. The rigid stems and weight-forward shape make for a feeder that flies true and long, making casting to tight spots much easier. The Specialist Gripper Feeder is available in two sizes, large and medium, and in 1oz, 2oz, 3oz and 4oz versions
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.
Bait bands are vital when fishing with pellets, which is standard tactics on commercial waters. As such, our ready rigs are now available with Guru Bait Bands attached to the hair. These rigs feature the Pellet Waggler hooks.
These pole rigs have been designed for use on smaller commercials where fish like F1s dominate. They are tied with the F1 Pellet hook, which the Guru team designed specifically for these hard-fighting weight builders. The white gape and round bend allow the use of softened hook baits and practically guarantee good hook holds. There are eight rigs in each pack and they are supplied on easy-to-use cards.
These pole rigs have been designed as true all-rounders, tied with the popular LWGS hook pattern. They can be used for fishing with natural baits, such as maggots, casters and worm, as well as pellets. There are eight rigs per pack and they come supplied on handy cards for easy of use.
