GURU XS COOKIE CARBON – a compact, ultra-tough float built for fast, accurate shallow fishing on commercial venues.
Material and strength: high-density foam body with a reinforced carbon stem, delivering enduring shape and stiffness session after session on busy commercial venues.
Four precise sizes: XS Carbon Cookie 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.2g and 0.3g, offering a tailored buoyancy range to suit depth, shotting patterns and fish behaviour.
Solid backbone: carbon runs up into the body, giving the float a sturdy backbone that resists bending or breaking when big fish test the tackle.
Tangle-free presentation: central inline tube runs through the body to minimise tangles, protect your line, and enhance presentation in unsettled water.
Overshotted rig ready: designed with overshotted rigs in mind, especially the lighter sizes, to sink the bristle and create a tight line between hook and tip for wary fish.
Stealthy in bright water: non-reflective matte black finish reduces glare and helps stop spooking wary F1s and carp in clear shallow venues.
Designed for modern commercial shallow fishing: built to endure the harsh realities of high-intensity sessions, slaps, and constant use without losing performance.
The XS Carbon Cookie pairs compact precision with rock-solid durability, purpose-built for today’s intensive shallow fishing on commercial fisheries. Its small footprint keeps resistance low while the body and carbon stem handle constant use and aggressive bites, so you stay in control when the bite comes fast and close to the pole tip. The through-body inline tube keeps line protection at the forefront, letting you fish with confidence even as runs come thick and fast in bright, shallow water. Usage and setup tips for UK anglers
Choose the right size for your venue: pick from 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.2g or 0.3g to match depth and the behaviours you expect from F1s feeding up near the surface or carp cruising just beneath.
Attach to your rig with overshotted setups in mind: lighter sizes benefit from this approach, helping the bristle sit tight and maintain a clean, direct line to the tip.
Set up the inline tube for smooth line flow: ensure the tube runs clear through the body to minimise tangles, especially when bites come in quick succession.
Fine-tune buoyancy and shotting: experiment with shotting patterns to balance sensitivity and strike visibility. Start light and add weight gradually until bites are clearly visible and the float sits properly in the water.
Watch for glare and presentation: in clear, shallow water, the matte black finish helps you stay stealthy and reduces spooking wary fish as they patrol the surface.
Test in realistic conditions: take a session to verify bite recognition, line protection and presentation before committing to longer trips on busy commercial fisheries.
Care, maintenance and durability Rinse the float with fresh water after use on venues where chalk, mud or salt is present, then dry thoroughly before storage. Check the carbon stem for any nicks or bends after heavy sessions and rotate through sizes as needed to avoid over-stressing a single unit. With its high-density foam body and reinforced carbon stem, the XS Carbon Cookie is engineered to withstand repetitive zipping through bites and the slaps of busy days on the bank. Compatibility and common objections Fit and compatibility: designed for modern commercial shallow fishing, the XS Carbon Cookie works well with overshotted rigs and standard shallow-fishing setups used by UK anglers on commercial venues. Its inline tube design helps keep lines protected and presentation tight, even when you’re navigating unsettled water or fast bites. If you’re concerned about whether a float will suit your specific rig, note the four available sizes and the inline construction—these features make it adaptable across typical UK shallow-fishing rigs. Durability: anglers often worry about gear lasting through long sessions. This float is explicitly built to endure high-intensity sessions, with a carbon stem that resists bending and a dense foam body that keeps its shape after heavy use. If you’ve had floats lose buoyancy or kink under pressure, the XS Cookie Carbon is designed to resist those problems and keep performing bite after bite. Fit and feel: sizes range from 0.05g to 0.3g to let you tailor buoyancy to depth and fish behaviour, helping you achieve a clean, tight line. If a model feels light for a very shallow or extremely bitey session, simply switch to a slightly heavier size to improve bite visibility without sacrificing presentation.

GURU FAST RELEASE POLE POTS - All sizes
GURU FAST RELEASE POLE POTS are built for serious anglers who want fast, fuss‑free pole feeding with clean, precise baiting. The range runs from extra-small to paste pots, with sprinkle lids and hole options that let you tailor every peg to the venue, the bite, and the time of day. Made from super‑light, two‑tone plastic, they stay easy to ship, and their stealthy profile won’t spook wary fish in clear water. Quick-loading sprinkle lids speed up baiting between casts, letting you keep your rhythm and save valuable seconds on busy sessions. Small pots offer hole options for easy baiting with pellets and other soft baits, and a separate hole-free version for maggots, helping you choose the right tool for the bait you’re using. Two lid options for medium and large pots give you flexibility: a narrow lip for maggots and meat, and a wider lip for drip‑feeding pellets, enabling different feeding styles without swapping pots. Wide size range covers Extra-small, Small, Medium, Large, XL and Paste pots, with product variations L, M, S, XL, XS to match peg and tactic on the bank. Super-light, two-tone plastic keeps weight down for long sessions and reduces movement noise in the swim, helping you stay stealthier and less disruptive to fish. X-Soft fitting accepts a range of top kits with different diameters without risking damage to the pole, making tops or adapters swap‑and‑go without snagging or wear. Additional sprinkle lids are available separately to extend quick-change options on the bank, so you can adapt instantly to changing conditions without fiddling with tools.
What makes these poles pots different
The design addresses common issues anglers faced with older versions on the bank. The combination of ultra-light plastic and a two‑tone finish keeps weight and noise to a minimum, which matters when you’re chasing skittish specimens. The X‑Soft fitting is a standout feature, allowing you to mix and match tops with different diameters safely, so you won’t risk bending the pole or snapping a top during a swap. The full range from extra-small to paste pots means you can tailor feed to the venue, the bite, and the moment—whether you’re topping up maggots, pellets, or meat. Sizes, variations and how to choose
Availability spans Extra-small to paste pots, with practical variations in each size to suit various feeding regimes. Use XS or S for light, frequent top‑ups on busy pegs. Move to M or L when you need a bigger capacity without adding bulk. For paste or timed feeding, XL and dedicated paste pots give you the longer-lasting options you need. The listed product variations—L, M, S, XL, XS—ensure you can pick the exact tool for the job and peg you’re on. Usage tips and best practices
Attach the chosen pot to the pole using the X-Soft fitting, ensuring a snug, damage‑free connection. Fill or load the pot with your bait, choosing sprinkle lids for quick access between casts. Choose small pots with hole options when you’re targeting pellets and soft baits, and swap to a hole‑free version for maggots to minimise waste. When moving between pegs or changing venues, consider lighter or smaller pots to keep weight and noise to a minimum while preserving accuracy. Keep extra sprinkle lids handy (sold separately) to extend your quick-change options during a long session on the bank. After use, rinse and dry the pots to maintain the integrity of the lids and the X‑Soft fitting for long-term reliability.
Care, durability and compatibility
The pots are designed to tackle durability concerns common with older versions: light weight reduces carry strain, and the two-tone plastic aids in silent operation in clear water. The X-Soft fitting supports a range of top kit diameters, so you can swap tops or adapters without fear of snagging or damage to the pole. Regular inspection for wear on lids and the fitting will keep your feeding system performing reliably across seasons. Related gear and practical tips for UK anglers
Pair these pole pots with compatible top kits to maximise stability during long sessions on the bank. The quick-change capability is particularly useful for venues with mixed fishing styles, enabling you to adapt to a change in bite or water conditions without stopping to refit your gear.

The fleece lining provides insulation while the soft outer shell repels wind without irritating the skin. The integrated drawcord lets you secure the fit quickly when conditions change, so you stay comfortable whether you’re casting out on a cold morning or simply walking the dog along the bank. And with its black colour and orange Guru logo, it looks the part on bank or street.
On the bank or by the lake, drafts can sap energy and numb fingers. This neck warmer helps prevent that by keeping warmth close to your skin and blocking gusts that sneak down your collar. The ergonomic shape sits snugly around your neck, reducing bulk under a coat and preventing drafts from creeping in through the neckline. Fleece next to the skin provides a soft, cosy feel, while the outer shell stands up to windy days typical of UK fisheries and riversides. The drawcord is handy for rapid adjustments if you’re moving from wind to shelter or changing layers, so you can keep focus on your cast rather than fiddling with gear.
How to use
Place the neck warmer around your neck with the fleece lining facing your skin for maximum warmth. Fold or position the front so it sits neatly under your jacket, creating a seal at the neckline. Pull the drawcord to tighten the fit, then secure it so it stays in place while you set up or cast out. Adjust as needed if you change posture or move into a breezier spot along the bank. When finished fishing or walking, loosen the cord and store the neck warmer in a pocket or bag for quick use later.
