Guru produce two types of inline feeders, the Guru Inline Method Feeder and the Guru Inline Pellet feeder. They are setup the same way but are used with different bait loaded onto the feeder. The Guru Pellet feeder is designed to be used with soft scaulded pellets as loose feed in the feeder and the Method feeder is to be used with a method mix moulded around one side of the feeder, both giving similar presentations with different baits. Both of the Guru feeders come in two sizes, 24 grams and 28 grams.

Step 1.

Remove the small tail rubber and swivel from either end of the feeder, like so.

Step 2.

Now thread you mainline through the tail rubber (Narrow end first) and the feeder.

Step 3.

Attach the swivel supplied to the end of your mainline using a Palomar knot.

Step 4.

Push the tail rubber back into place at the top of the feeder, then pull the swivel back into the bottom of the feeder.

Now to attach the hooklink. If you buy Guru’s readymade hair rigs they will come with a loop tied in the end but if you like to tie your own then tie a loop in the end using a Figure of eight loop knot.

Step 5.

Pass the looped end of the rig though the swivel of the feeder.

Step 6.

Now pass the hook though the loop at the end of the rig.

Step 7.

Pull the hook end of the rig until everything tightens down. The rig will look like this.

Your feeder is now ready to be baited and cast out.

Give them a go. To purchase either the pellet or method feeders click on the the above links.

I’m sure a lot of you are aware of the problem with illegal importations of large carp into the this country and the risks it possess to our current fish stocks. The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) have released this short video to raise the awareness of illegal importations and the dangers involved.

Tackling Illegal Importations Video

Take a quick look, its a very interesting and potentially eye opening video to those of you who are unaware of what goes on with the importation of illegal imports.

Its that time of year again when boilies come into there own and tend to out catch most other baits. During the Autumn as the temperatures are dropping and the days are getting shorter the carp begin to have a feed up for the coming winter months and boilies are one bait they know are good for them. During a recent session on my syndicate I landed this 26lb Mirror carp on a 15mm bottom bait topped with a 10mm Mainline Tutti Frutti Hi-Visual Pop-up over a small bed of mixed size boilies. Use a good quality boilie like Mainline Fusion Or Nash Scopex Squid.

Get yourself some boilies and go catch ‘um!
