What’s included
The Guru Accessory Pack comprises four essential items that cover the core needs of feeder and float anglers on UK banks: the Reaper Multi-Positional Specialist Feeder Rest, the Reaper Specialist Rear Rest, Guru Rod Bands, and the Guru Microfiber Towel. Each piece is built to endure daily use, with materials chosen for longevity and performance in wet, windy conditions and full days on the peg. This combo is ideal for anglers who value reliability, ease of use, and keeping gear secure from peg to bag. Materials and build
The Reaper Multi-Positional Specialist Feeder Rest is engineered for adjustable rod positioning and secure bites, using robust components designed to resist pulling forces during big pulls on the feeder. The Reaper Specialist Rear Rest focuses on a strong, weather-resistant grip that accommodates various rod butt diameters while staying simple to attach and adjust between casts. Guru Rod Bands are soft neoprene wraps that cushion and protect the rod blank and guides, keeping everything aligned and free from scuffs during transport and transit. The Guru Microfiber Towel is ultra-absorbent and fast drying, making it practical to use multiple times in a session without saturating. Together, these parts form a durable, practical kit built to handle the rigours of day-long sessions on wet banks and in changing UK conditions. Sizing and compatibility
The Reaper Rest system is designed to accommodate a wide range of bank angles and bite dynamics, while the Rear Rest offers a flexible grip that fits a broad selection of rod butt sizes. Rod Bands are adjustable to fit different rod configurations and help keep your kit tidy when transporting between swims. This pack is specifically designed for feeder and float setups and works with standard UK tackle sizes and common rod configurations, making it a versatile addition to most anglers’ gear bags. Usage instructions
Mount the Reaper Multi-Positional Specialist Feeder Rest on your bank rod rest or a compatible mounting point, and adjust the position to suit the peg angle and bite dynamics. Use the non-slip inserts to lock the rod in place.
Attach the Reaper Specialist Rear Rest to secure the butt of the rod; ensure it grips firmly but remains easy to reposition as the swim changes throughout the session.
Wrap Guru Rod Bands around your rods during transport to prevent movement and protect the blanks and guides from minor knocks and rubbing.
Upon arrival at the peg, reposition if needed to balance rod angle with wind and bank slope, then set your rod for a clean, responsive bite indication.
Keep the Guru Microfiber Towel handy on the bank bag or belt for quick hand and tackle drying between nets or after handling damp equipment.
Maintenance and care
Rinse metal parts after use in saltwater or rain-aided sessions to remove grime and salt, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry area. The microfiber towel should be washed regularly to maintain absorbency; the neoprene bands benefit from a light wash to keep them supple and residue-free. With proper care, the kit maintains its performance and appearance for many seasons of bank sessions. Why UK anglers will love it
For UK bank fishers, weather can be unpredictable, and bank sides can be slippery or awkward to navigate. This pack’s adaptable rests let you tailor rod position to each peg, while the rear rest secures the butt to withstand sharp bites and gusts. The neoprene bands reduce wear on the rod during transport, and the compact towel keeps you clean and ready between casts. The entire set is designed to be reliable, quick to deploy, and easy to maintain, so you can stay focused on catching rather than fiddling with gear. Related and compatible gear
Consider pairing this pack with other Guru accessories to build a full bank-side kit, especially items that help with rig securing, dry tackle, and quick on-peg adjustments. This bundle is designed to complement a wide range of Guru products and can be a dependable foundation for your feeder and float setups on UK waters.

Five adjustable settings let you tailor the ambience to your activity. Use the soft white for tasks like untangling rigs, tying knots, or organising tackle without straining your eyes.

The hanging clip gives you the option to elevate the light above the gear bench or hang it from the bivvy framework if you’re sharing space with a mate. The magnetic base adds another quick, tool-free mounting option for metal surfaces such as a boat, locker, or caravan door. This versatility means you can position the unit to illuminate the whole seating area, your rig, or your cooking nook without fuss.
