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.

The New Rig Marole Bore Rings are an ingenius idea to make bait attachment, fast, simple and effective. No more searching for that lost baiting needle or dropping your last bait stop on the floor, you simply have to screw your bait into place. The Bore Rings are designed to be used with D-rigs, Chod rigs, Blowback rigs etc, basically any rig you would normally have a ring on the rig which your bait is attached to.

The Bore Rings are very versatile in the range of baits they can accomodate. The Bore Rings are ideal for anything from Boilies, Pop ups, Corkball pop ups, Pellets, Artificial Baits, Maize, Nuts and other hard particle baits.

The simple idea of the Bore Rings enables anglers to quickly change their baits without the need for baiting needles, bait stops, rig rings or bait floss.

The rig shown is one of many applications for the Bore Rings, they can even be used for zig rigs and surface fishing. These have been tried and tested, your bait will not come off on the cast.

We now have the full Korda Stow Indicator Range in stock now. The Korda Stow Indicator System allows unparalleled sensitivity when using slack or tight lines. Korda acquired the rights to the design from Carl Pashley, the originator of the Elstow bobbins, because they thought that the concept truly represented a step forward in indicator design. That’s not to say that the development team, headed up by Damian Clarke, just copied Carl’s originals. In fact, the resulting bobbins have benefitted from a long period of refining, tweaking and remodelling. The specially configured line clip helps transmit ANY line movement into positive indications that help you to understand what’s happening at the rig end and Stows are especially good at picking up line bites. The Korda Stow Indicator Heads allow you to have more than one colour set of heads or to use with other systems. To protect the Indicator Systems there is the Korda Stow Away Case in either a 3 or 2 rod set. The Korda Stow Lites  are high powered isotopes in colours to match the indicator heads providing maximum visibility at night. Should you prefer the fashionable black chains these are available The Stow Black Chains come in both sizes. If snags feature regularly in your fishing the Stow Bars should come in useful they come in black or silver. For long range fishing there are the Stow Over Weights in two sizes. Finally The Korda Stow Magnetic Hockey Stix and Magnetic Adaptor allow you to have the Stow magnetic quick release system with other indicator systems.
