Guru Inline Medium Hybrid Feeders (32g & 42g)

The Guru Inline Medium Hybrid Feeder is a revolutionary piece of terminal tackle that has redefined how anglers present bait on commercial and natural venues. By combining the best attributes of a Method, Banjo, and Pellet feeder, Guru has created a hybrid that offers unparalleled versatility. Designed to hold bait securely during the cast but release it rapidly once it hits the lakebed, this feeder is an essential tool for targeting everything from match-sized F1s to double-figure carp.

At Gerrys Fishing, we recommend the Medium size for its sheer adaptability. Whether you are fishing at 30 meters or pushing toward 60, the 32g and 42g models provide the perfect balance of aerodynamic stability and a subtle splash. Unlike traditional feeders that use a plastic frame attached to a lead base, these are manufactured from a unique, ultra-tough material where the weight is integrated into the feeder itself. This results in a virtually indestructible construction that will not split or crack, even under the pressure of repeated long-range casting.

Pro Tip

The Quick-Load Advantage: The Hybrid feeder is designed for hand-loading, meaning you dont need a dedicated mold. To get the perfect release, press a small amount of dampened 2mm pellets into the base, place your hookbait in the center, and then cap it with a second layer of pellets. If you are fishing in deep water (over 6ft), apply a bit more thumb pressure to the top layer to ensure the payload stays intact until it reaches the bottom.

Examples of Where to Use

• Commercial Carp Fishing: The Medium 32g is the perfect all-rounder for most UK commercial venues, providing enough weight to hold on slopes without creating an excessive splash.

• Distance Casting: Step up to the 42g version when you need to punch through a headwind or reach the central safe zones on large reservoirs where fish often congregate.

• Deep Water Venues: The raised sides of the Hybrid design protect the bait during the drop through the water column, making it superior to flat-bed method feeders in deep pits.

• F1 & Skimmer Sessions: Use the 32g model with a 50/50 mix of groundbait and micro-pellets for a subtle presentation that attracts smaller match-sized fish without over-powering the swim.

FAQs

Do I need to buy a mold for these feeders?

No. One of the greatest benefits of the Hybrid design is that it is intended to be loaded by hand. This saves space in your tackle box and allows you to adjust the compression of your bait based on the depth of the water you are fishing.

Are these feeders fish-safe?

Yes. They are supplied as an in-line system which is inherently safe. Furthermore, the central tube can be easily removed and replaced with a Guru X-Safe stem, which provides elasticity to prevent hook pulls while remaining 100% fish-safe if your mainline breaks.

What is the best hookbait to use?

Because the hookbait is tucked inside the feeder, wafters or buoyant baits like corn and pellets work exceptionally well. They sit right on top of the pile of feed as it breaks down, making them the first thing a fish sees.

Will the camo finish wear off over time?

No, the finish is part of the materials composition rather than a surface paint. It is designed to be anti-glare and highly durable, maintaining its stealth properties even after months of heavy use over gravel or abrasive bottoms.
