Introduction Welcome to the GURU trade product guide 2012/13. Within these pages you’ll find images and detailed information about every single one of our products. GURU is very much a unique brand, offering innovative, cutting-edge products that appeal to a rapidly widening cross-section of anglers. Much of the product range has been conceived through close consultation with match experts Steve Ringer and Guru’s new brand manager, Adam Rooney. The new products for 2012 are very much still targeted at the commercial match and pleasure angler. However, with top all-rounders like Dean Macey and Shaun Hodges now signed up, you can see just how highly regarded the brand has become among the specimen angling fraternity. 2012 is set to see Guru make a huge surge in terms of marketing, which we firmly believe reinforces our commitment to ensuring that we drive anglers to your shops. The Guru website, www.tackleguru.com has now launched and acts as the perfect after-sales resource for your customers.

Guru Catapult Guru Catapult This is easily the most versatile catapult available today and here’s why. Rather than just releasing another standard catty, the Guru team decided to redesign from the ground up. The result is a ’pult that allows incredibly close grouping of various types of feed at a multitude of ranges. The strong elastic runs through the hollow frame of the catapult, allowing the elastics to be tensioned across six different pegging positions along the arms. This allows you to vary the tension in the elastic to hit a variety of ranges with consistency throughout your session. The elastics themselves are extremely strong and durable. The pouch has been carefully crafted to facilitate this unrivalled accuracy of feeding, grouping baits like maggots, casters, pellets and corn extremely tightly.

A super strong eyed hook for feeder, waggler and pole fishing. The oversized eye makes for easy use with thicker lines associated with targeting bigger than average carp.
PTFE coating prolongs durability, while the large eye allows use with thicker lines associated with modern fishing styles. A range of sizes from 18 to 10 means there is a QM1 to match all baits and sizes of fish.

Guru X-Strong Carp Spade
Guru Pellet Waggler
The X-Strong Spade pattern has been designed for hit-and-hold margin fishing on the pole. The extra wide gape and long, durable point result in great hook holds, allowing you to bully large carp, tench or barbel from snags or reeds. The design of the hook makes it perfect for use with large baits like meat and paste. The spade makes it perfect for use with most conventional pole rigs and ensures that the line exits the hook shank perfectly in line for excellent hooking potential.
The Pellet Wagger hook has been designed with float hair rigging in mind. As the name suggests, it’s particularly suited to use with the pellet waggler, which is so effective on commercial carp waters. The hooks feature an out-turned eye, which ensures that the line exits the eye in a straight line, making for better presentation and greater hooking potential. An extra-long, durable point and wide gape practically guarantees extremely secure hook holds, which will result in more fish in the net.

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. Method moulds offer 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.
