Guru brand manager and match star, Adam Rooney, had this to say about the new trainers… “This is a very different product from Tackle Guru. When I saw the first Korda samples, I knew I wanted Guru to be part of it. We've had an amazing response to them so far and they're already proving to be hugely popular."

Guru Hybrid Feeder This clever product is the brainchild of Guru-backed matchman Paul Holland. He’d made initial prototypes from standard method feeder, building up retaining sides made from the plastic packet that the feeders come in! His aim was to produce a feeder that had the compactness of a pellet feeder, but with the aerodynamics of a method feeder.

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 raised sides that Paul designed protects the bait on impact, when you’re having to cast a long way, ensuring that the bait gets to the bottom as you’d like it to! The critical hook bait placement means that your bait is available and presented perfectly from the moment your feeder touches down. This results in more bites, sooner after casting out!

The system is compatible with Gurus X-Safe system the only safe elasticated feeder system on the market and the weight options (24-45g) and three sizes (mini, small and large) cover short, medium and long-range situations.

- Holes in the base and slits in the sidewalls - Allows quick, but controlled breakdown - Raised sides help keep bait in place on cast and control bait breakdown - Compatible with the X-Safe system - The only safe elasticated feeder system - Aerodynamic design - weight forward to aid casting - New one-piece body is pretty much indestructible - Quick and easy to load - New commercial camo paint finish - Available in three sizes: mini (24g), small (24g and 36g) and large (36g and 48g).

Adam Rooney explained how and why they were developed… “We get inundated with calls and messages asking if we would ever do our famous QM1 hook ready-tied. So here they are, tied to the same high standard as our existing range. I’m confident to say I would be happy to use them myself in all match conditions.“

“The EVA spools, which have been colour-coded and printed so you can simply store them directly in your Guru Rig Box for maximum protection. The QM1 design and packaging take ready rigs to a whole new level…”
