X-Safe Method Feeders
- Traditionally, there was no particular science to hook bait
placement within the method ball and your bait could even become trapped inside
or under the feeder frame
- Guru has, quite literally, turned this upside down
- Commercial master Steve Ringer engineered a groundbreaking hook bait platform,
which sits on the opposite side of the feeder to the main weight loading,
ensuring that the hook bait sits on top of the feeder cast after cast
- The
platform itself is positioned on X-shaped, vented arms that are configured to minimize
tangles and allow maximum grip, ensuring that your groundbait can be loaded
easily onto the feeder
-
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 unique X-Safe elastic system acts as a buffer during the fight, helping to
reduce hook pulls at the net
- Not only that, but thanks to the innovative
design, it’s 100 per cent safe for the fish. Should you lose a fish and leave
it attached to the feeder, the elastic will simply pull free, allowing the fish
to ditch the feeder
-
The Method feeders are available in four sizes and all sizes of feeder are
completely interchangeable and spare elastics and tubes are available
separately
Available in:
- 24g (Small)
-
36g (Small)
-
28g (Large)
-
45g (Large)

X-Press Method Mould
- In order to make the best, most consistent method balls that fly
further and truer, the feeder has to be loaded perfectly
- The method mould
offers the best way of achieving this
- That’s why the Guru team wasted no time
in releasing the X-Press Method Mould
- These clever devices make moulding
pellets or groundbait around our X-Safe or Inline feeders child’s play
- The
clever, non-stick inner, coupled with the flexible construction, will ensure
that perfectly formed feeders full of bait drop out into the palm each and
every time
- Once you’ve used the X-Press mould, you simply won’t want to use
another version
Available in:
X-Safe Spare Elastics
- The X-Safe elastics have been designed to eliminate hook pulls
during the final throes of a fight
- The cushioning effect WILL translate into
more fish on the bank for you, especially as netting is when most fish are
lost
- The system was developed by Alex Bones to ensure that fish can get rid of
the feeder should your line break above the feeder
- Spare X-Safe elastics will
fit both the Pellet Feeder and Method Feeder and are available in packs of two
X-Safe Spare Elastic –
White / Black (Speed Stems)
- Developed by top match anglers Steve Ringer, Adam Rooney and Pemb
Wrighting, a feeder or lead equipped with the X-Safe Speed Stems allows for
ultra-quick re-casts – all you need to do is unclip the whole feeder or lead
from the main line and attach a new ready-to-go rig.
-
Using this system, the Guru team have won countless matches this year with the
Speed Stems allowing anglers to have multiple feeders or leads set up and ready
to recast within seconds of a fish or bringing a rig in, saving valuable
minutes over the course of a match or pleasure session when speed is the key.
-
Also incorporated into the stems is a Speed Bead, which allows hook lengths to
be changed in seconds via a small quick-change swivel which pulls back into the
bead to secure it to the rig.
-
The stems fit Guru’s existing method, pellet and Hybrid feeders and the inline
lead range, easily slotting into the existing holes to make an instant quick
change, elasticated feeder or lead set-up. Just tie a small loop onto the main
line, secure it to the stem via the streamlined crook and small tail rubber,
and it’s ready to go.
-
The X-Safe is the only safe elasticated system on the market, with the whole
elasticated section easily pulling through the stem so any fish lost due to a
main line breakage or picking up a cracked-off rig will be able to easily lose
the feeder or lead. Top fisheries such as White Acres have recognised this
safety aspect and now insist that anglers use the X-Safe system.
-
The stems are available in two lengths for short and medium to long-range
fishing and two elastic strengths – black and white – for targeting smaller or
larger fish. For example, the black (heavy) elastic is great for larger carp
and big bream whilst the lighter white version is perfect for F1s, bream,
skimmers and smaller carp.
-
The four different stems are sold in packs of two.
Available in:
- Black or White in sizes short and long
X-Safe Spare Tail Rubbers
- These stepped tail rubbers have been designed to work with the
X-Safe Elastic system
- They fit over the quick-change clip that protrudes from
the elastic system tube
- The rubbers simply ensure that the feeder is locked
securely onto the line and smooth the connection, preventing tangles
- Spare
tail rubbers are available in packs of ten
In-Line Tail Rubbers
- The In-Line Tail Rubbers are shaped to fit the Guru In-Line Pellet
and Method feeders
- They help to streamline the feeder, eliminating the chance
of tangles in flight
- They are available in packs of ten
Method Feeder Clips
- The Method Feeder Clip simply clips onto the hookbait plate of any
of the Method feeders in the Guru range, with different sizes designed to match
the feeders – the large will fit the 28g and 45g feeders and the small will fit the 24g & 36g feeders.
-
As well as keeping your hookbait right in amongst your loosefeed, it also
allows you to effectively fish very short hook links without the associated
problems that usually accompany those – difficulty in tying them and increased
potential for hook-pulls due to the close proximity of the feeder to the hook
during the fight – as once a fish is hooked your hooklink will pull free from
the Method Feeder Clip, and you will be back to playing it on your normal
length of hooklink.
-
It will also come in very useful on venues that ban bolt rigs as you can fish
it with a running feeder, but still get the self-hooking effect that a bolt rig
would give, as the clip grips the line until a fish is hooked.
-
If you are using it with a pop-up then there is no need for any counter-balance
weight, simply place the hooklink in the clip to set the required distance that
you want your hookbait to sit above the loosefeed. Or you can use it to make
sure that a bottom bait stays right in amongst the groundbait even once fish
have disturbed it.
-
This is going to be a big hit with match and pleasure anglers, but is also
likely to find favour with specimen anglers who want to use the Method and fish
very short hook links. This is one of those incredibly simple products which
can make a big difference to your catch rate!
Available in:
Speed Beads
- This ingenious little bead has been designed solely to help you put
more fish in your net, quicker
- They comprise a rubber
outer bead, against which your feeder or bomb can come to rest, with an
internal, quick-change swivel that allows you to change your hook links in the
blink of an eye
- The significance of this is, of course, that if a hook link is damaged, it’s
even easier to get fishing again, in double-quick time
- The Speed Bead has met
with the approval of the Gurus, headed by Steve Ringer, and you’ll see them
using it to great effect over the coming months
