The Slim Line Feeder Cage Body is a compact component that forms part of the Guru X-Change feeder system. Its streamlined profile is designed to deliver bait efficiently while staying streamlined in flight, reducing the chance of tangles when you’re casting into choppy river swims or tight pockets on stillwaters. If you’re fishing in the UK, where you might be targeting roach, dace, bream, chub, carp, or silverfish in rivers, canals, and still waters, a compact cage helps you control feeding in distinct areas without overwhelming bites from wary fish. Who this is for
This feeder cage body is ideal for anglers who want precise control over feed delivery and the flexibility to swap rigs quickly. Whether you’re new to feeder fishing or looking to upgrade an existing Guru X-Change setup, this Slim Line Cage offers dependable fit and repeatable performance across venues common to UK anglers—from tidal rivers to fenland drains and busy day-ticket waters. Usage instructions
Attach the Slim Line Feeder Cage Body to your Guru X-Change rig as you would with other compatible components to ensure a secure, tight connection.
Fill the cage with your preferred groundbait or feed mix. Pack firmly enough to hold shape, but not so tight that the openings are blocked.
Attach the completed cage to your feeder rig and prepare for casting. The slim profile helps reduce line friction and improves casting efficiency.
Cast to your target area and watch for the tell-tale signs of feeding activity. Adjust your line bite and feeder position as needed based on water conditions and fish response.
Retrieve and inspect. If the bait has dispersed evenly, re-fill as required and continue fishing. Swap to another Guru X-Change component mid-session if you want to alter feeding depth or pattern quickly.
Tips for effective feeding on UK waters
Match the feeder to the venue: smaller cages in flowing rivers can help with delicate feeding, while larger setups may suit stillwaters with active roach and bream.
Think seasonally: in spring and early summer, lighter baits can entice holding fish; in colder months, a slightly heavier feed can help attract bites in slower swims.
Keep a tidy bank kit: rinse the cage after use to prevent residue building up and to prolong the life of your components.
Combine with compatible Guru X-Change components to tailor your rig for specific spots, such as nearweed margins, bends, or standard mid-river channels.
Use a light touch when casting to avoid spooking fish in clear or heavily pressurised waters.
Maintenance and care
Rinse the cage body after use, especially after feeding sessions where damp bait or mud has accumulated. Allow to dry fully before storage to prevent rust or corrosion on any metal parts. Inspect regularly for cracks or wear, and replace as needed to maintain dependable performance on the bank. Related products and compatibility
Part of the Guru X-Change family, this Slim Line Feeder Cage Body is designed to integrate smoothly with other Guru X-Change components.

If you’re shopping in the UK, look for compatible Guru X-Change items that help you swap out cages, weights, and rigs quickly between matches or sessions. Notes for UK anglers
UK waters vary a lot, so having a modular feeder system that lets you tweak depth, release rate, and bait type can give you a real edge. This Slim Line Cage Body offers a compact, dependable option within the Guru X-Change ecosystem, designed to perform across typical coarse fishing scenarios found around the UK. If you’re unsure about fit or compatibility, verify that your existing gear is part of the Guru X-Change family and consult your local tackle provider for the latest UK stock and support.
Guru Waggler Converter — Extend Casting Distance and Sharpen Bite Detection
The Guru Waggler Converter is a simple, trusted upgrade for float anglers who want to push distance and sharpen bite detection. By adding precise weight directly to your waggler, you can reach your mark more consistently, even in a breeze or across bigger expanses of water. It’s designed with carp, tench, and silverfish in mind, giving you more control over float presentation without overhauling your rig. Three weight options are available to tailor your setup to depth, wind, and distance goals.
Three weight options: 2SSG (3.2g), 3SSG (4.4g), and 4SSG (6.5g) to suit depth, wind and distance needs. Pick the lightest for subtle presentation on calm water, or step up to heavier options for longer, more accurate casts into features or fixtures.
Extended casting distance: The added mass on the waggler translates to longer, more stable casts, helping you reach distant swims or pressure points more reliably in windy or open-water venues.
Improved stability and bite detection: Loading weight onto the waggler itself helps the float sit more upright and maintain better line tension, making subtle takes easier to spot even when the wind picks up or on larger venues.
Tool-free attachment: Clip on, adjust as needed, and you’re ready to fish. The secure attachment means you can tweak between spots quickly without fuss, keeping you on the move for bites.
Versatile compatibility: Built to work with a wide range of waggler floats, it’s a flexible addition to any carp, tench, or silverfish rig without needing to swap rods or wagglers.
Durable construction: Crafted from robust materials, the converters withstand regular use and day-to-day fishing, holding their shape and performance over time so you’re not chasing replacements mid-session.
How to use
Choose a weight based on conditions: light for calm days, heavier for windier days or longer casts. Clip the Waggler Converter onto the waggler float in a position that suits your preferred balance and depth. Add the matching weight piece to the waggler and secure it firmly; ensure the setup stays together when you cast. Attach the assembled waggler to your rig as you normally would, keeping line tension steady and the float upright. Cast to your target area, such as a features point, drop-off, or known feeding zone, and monitor bite signals as you adjust for wind and depth. Fine-tune by swapping to a lighter or heavier weight between spots or at different depths to maintain presentation and bite reads.
Specification and compatibility
Weights available: 2SSG (3.2g), 3SSG (4.4g), 4SSG (6.5g). Designed for quick, tool-free mounting and compatible with a broad range of wagglers, the Guru Waggler Converter suits carp, tench, and silverfish rigs. Durable enough for regular use on UK waters, these converters help you keep presentation consistent across a day’s fishing, whatever the wind throws at you. Tips for UK anglers
In breezy UK conditions, start with the lighter weight to keep feel and presentation natural, then move to the 4SSG when you need extra distance to reach pockets of fish beyond the shoreline. On calm days or when targeting carp in still water, the 2SSG can offer a more subtle presentation that won’t spook wary fish. Always consider depth and water clarity—deeper water may benefit from a slightly heavier option to keep the float on a stable plane and maintain bite detection. Maintenance and care
After fishing, wipe the converter clean and check the clip for wear. If you’ve been fishing in salt or brackish water, rinse with fresh water and dry before storing. Regular inspection of the clip and weight pieces will help you avoid loosening during a long session. Related products

What you gain on the day
With the Guru Waggler Converter, you gain reliable distance, improved bite detection, and a flexible setup that won’t force you to change your rod or rig to chase better marks. It’s a practical upgrade that keeps you efficient on busy days when spots move and wind shifts. If you fish in the UK for carp, tench, or silverfish, this converter gives you more control over float presentation, letting you fish smarter rather than harder.
Guru Specimen PTFE Coated Super XS Spade End (Barbed) | ALL SIZES
The Guru Specimen PTFE Coated Super XS Spade End (Barbed) is a compact, high‑reliability component designed for anglers who value precision and consistency in their rigs. Built with a PTFE coating, this spade end resists wear and corrosion, helping your gear hold its edge and perform reliably in the demanding conditions you face on UK waters. The barbed end helps secure the connection, while the spade shape keeps everything aligned for smooth rigging and confident presentation. Available in ALL SIZES, including Super XS, this item is intended to integrate with Guru’s Specimen range and other compatible setups that use a spade end, barbed connection.
PTFE coating: reduces friction, improves durability, and offers better saltwater resistance for longer life in harsh environments.
Spade End (Barbed) design: engineered to help secure attachment and minimise movement during use, keeping rig parts in place when you’re battling a fish or handling the tackle box.
Size option: Super XS, with ALL SIZES available for different rigs and situations; choose the size that best fits your setup.
Material clarity: PTFE coated construction provides a smooth surface that’s easier to handle and inspect between sessions.
Durability in real-world use: designed to withstand repeated rigging and unrigging without flaking or easy damage in typical fishing scenarios.
Maintenance friendly: simple to clean after use; a quick rinse in fresh water helps remove salt and debris and keeps the coating in good condition.
Usage instructions
To get the best from this component, start by selecting the correct size for your rig. With ALL SIZES available, including Super XS, you can tailor your setup to the depth, water clarity, and species you’re targeting. Handle the part carefully, as the barbed end can be sharp; when attaching, align the end with the corresponding fitting or rig element and apply steady pressure to seat it fully. After use, rinse in fresh water to remove salt and grit, then dry before storage. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the PTFE coating and prevent any unnecessary wear. Always inspect the barbed end for nicks or deformation before reuse, and replace if you notice significant wear. If you are integrating this piece into a Guru Specimen system, ensure compatibility with your existing components and follow any system-specific assembly guidance you normally use on the bank or boat. Fit, durability and compatibility
Fit matters when you’re out on the water. This spade end is designed to work within the parameters of a PTFE coated, barbed spade end component and is available in ALL SIZES to match a range of rigs. The PTFE coating offers enhanced durability and improved resistance to saltwater exposure, which helps extend the life of the part through multiple seasons of fishing. While the barbed connection helps secure the unit in place, always verify that the receiving component accepts a spade end of this type and size, and match the Super XS option to your rig’s requirements. If you’re switching from a non-coated alternative, you may notice smoother insertion and less resistance when you thread or slot it into compatible fittings, thanks to the low-friction PTFE surface. If any part shows obvious damage, cracks, or significant wear, replace it to maintain rig integrity on the next trip. UK fisherman tips
British waters can be tough on tackle, so having a PTFE coated, barbed spade end that’s available in multiple sizes is handy. In salty estuaries and open sea fishing, corrosion resistance and reliable retention matter, and this Guru component is designed with those realities in mind. When travelling in the UK, keep a small selection of sizes in your tackle bag so you’re ready for different rigs or shore/boat setups. After a long day on the water, a quick rinse and dry will help preserve the coating and prevent salt buildup in joints and crevices. If you fish frequent rough ground or weed‑laden spots, periodically inspect for edge wear and replace promptly to avoid failure during a critical moment on a fight. In crowded venues, such as shore venues or match days, compact parts that fit easily in a small pocket can be a real boon, helping you stay organised and ready to adapt to changing tides or target species. Maintenance and longevity
To maximise longevity, keep this PTFE coated spade end out of direct heat and sunlight when stored. Rinse thoroughly after exposure to saltwater, dry completely, and store in a clean, dry tackle box. Regular inspection for coating wear and barbed integrity will help you catch issues before they impact performance. If you notice dullness or signs of flaking in the coating, it’s a good indication the part has reached the end of its useful life and should be replaced. Treat this as a reliable, low‑maintenance component that, with proper care, can serve through many excursions along the UK coast and inland waters. Related products and useful information
For anglers building or expanding a Guru Specimen rig, consider pairing this PTFE coated Super XS Spade End with other compatible Guru Specimen components to create a streamlined, consistent setup across all sizes. When selecting additional items, aim for complementary sizing and similar coating materials to maintain performance across your rig. Keep an eye on tackle options that fit with spade end connections and barbed designs, which can help you standardise your approach and reduce the number of different fittings you need to carry. Finally, stay up to date with seasonal conditions in the UK; different times of year may favour different rig configurations, lengths, and presentation styles, so having a few size options available is a practical approach for keepnet or bank fishing, boat trips, and species variety.

GAC067 – 13' 3pc: Casting weight 1-150g, Line rating 4-12lb, Supplied tips 2oz, 3oz, 4oz.
GAC068 – 14' 3pc: Casting weight 1-180g, Line rating 4-12lb, Supplied tips 2oz, 3oz, 5oz.
Why this rod suits UK waters
These A-Class Distance Feeder Rods are built for tough conditions found across UK rivers and lakes. The longer models give you extra reach to place feeders beyond weed beds, margins, and faster currents, helping you cover more water on open water sessions and tidal river runs. The 12' variant remains nimble for tight river features, snaggy margins, and precise work in confined spaces. Whether you’re chasing barbel and chub in a flowing chalk stream or lining up bream rigs from the far bank of a broad stillwater, you’ll feel the balance between power and finesse in every cast.
The combination of 24T carbon blanks, oversized guides, and a secure downlocking reel seat translates into dependable performance from the first lob to the last lunging take. Heavy-duty design elements mean you can cast with confidence and fish through demanding runs without losing control or feel. The extended cork handle and rear grip are designed for long sessions along the bank, letting you stay comfortable on back-to-back sessions through tide changes or a long brace of sessions in the margins. Usage tips for best results
Choosing the right length is about water, current, and target. Use the 14' model for open water and fast currents where you need maximum reach; switch to the 13' for mid-range river sections where distance still matters but control is key; opt for the 12' when space is tight or you’re fishing close to snags. For all sizes, pair the rod with feeders and mainline within the weight ranges supplied to ensure smooth loading and accurate casts.
Tip selection is straightforward: the 12' model comes with 1.5oz, 2oz, and 3oz tips; the 13' with 2oz, 3oz, and 4oz; and the 14' with 2oz, 3oz, and 5oz. Start with the lightest tip when fishing lighter feeder setups and gradually move to heavier tips as you add weight or fish under faster drifts. The heavy-leader-ready design means you can run a robust leader setup without compromising casting feel or line flow.
When rigging, keep the reel seat tight against the reel foot to minimise wobble, especially during long casts. Check guides for any nicks after rough use and rinse the rod after saltwater or brackish sessions to preserve the finish and performance. Regularly inspect line for wear, particularly where it runs over the guides, to avoid tangles and lost fish at the take. Helpful hints for UK anglers
In the margins of rivers like the Trent, Wye, or Thames, or on broad stillwaters around the UK, this range gives you the reach to place feeders without spooking fish. The balance of power and finesse helps you keep control during the bite and reduces the risk of fish pulling off on the strike. If you’re new to feeder fishing, start with the 12' model to learn the feel of distance casting and feeding accuracy before moving up to longer rods for open water work. Care and maintenance
After use, especially in salt or brackish environments, rinse the rod with fresh water and wipe down the guides. Dry properly and store in a rod sleeve or tube to protect the tips from accidental damage. Periodically inspect the cork handle for wear and the reel seat for smooth operation to maintain peak casting performance. Related considerations for the serious UK feeder angler
Pair this rod with suitable feeders and line setups within the specified ranges for best results. The design is intended to work well with heavy shock leaders, so you can confidently run hefty leader setups when fishing near structure or fast currents. Consider keeping a range of tips on hand so you can quickly adapt to changing conditions, such as a windy day that alters your bite or a shift in water depth. Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose for river fishing? The 12' model is more nimble in tight river features, while the 13' and 14' models give longer casting reach for open water and faster currents. What line rating should I use? The rods are rated 4-12lb line; match your mainline to feel and distance, within the provided casting weights. Do the rods come with tips? Yes—the supplied tips vary by model as listed above, so choose the set that matches your feeder weight and conditions. Note for shoppers

Guru LWGF Micro Barb XS 18 Eyed
The Guru LWGF Micro Barb XS 18 Eyed is a compact, specialized hook designed for delicate presentations and small baits. With a micro barb and an extra-small (XS) profile, it’s built to give you precise hook exposure while keeping catch rates steady on lighter tackle. This is a purposefully simple, no-fuss option for anglers who want a reliable, discreetly-sharp hook that’s easy to rig and quick to untangle when the fish comes to the net. Key benefits
Micro Barb design for controlled bite retention and easier unhooking when fun-sized fish take the bait.
XS size means a tiny, unobtrusive rig presentation—great for small baits and sensitive bites from light lines.
18 Eyed configuration (eyed hook) simplifies threading the line and knot-tying, helping you get rigs ready swiftly in the margins or at the bank.
Part of the Guru LWGF family designed to pair with Guru gear and common light-to-medium tackle setups used by UK anglers.
Compact profile reduces snagging risk in tangled margins, weed beds, and overhanging banks while keeping your bait in play longer.
Versatile compatibility with standard lines and rigs used for delicate presentations, making it a dependable choice when you need a discreet hook that stays sharp through a session.
Size, fit and what you get
The XS designation indicates an extra-small hook intended for tiny baits and lightweight rigs. The “18 Eyed” wording points to an eyed hook design, which is straightforward to thread and knot for anglers who prefer a traditional, easy-to-tix system. This hook is designed to sit neatly in the bite zone without overpowering the bait, giving you a natural look in the water. If you’re matching it with other Guru LWGF pieces or with standard UK tackle, it should slot in smoothly without needing to rework your usual setup. Usage instructions
Inspect the hook for any manufacturing imperfections and ensure the eye is clean and free of burrs before use. Thread your line through the eye from the convenient front direction and pull through any tag end you typically leave for knot-tying. Choose your preferred knot (for example, a standard fish-knot or another trusted method you regularly use) and tighten the knot firmly against the eye to prevent slippage. Attach your bait in a manner suitable for small presentations. The XS size works well with tiny natural baits and finely presented lures where you want the hook to disappear in the mouth of the fish. Cast or place your rig as you normally would, keeping an eye on line tension and bite indications. When a bite is detected, react promptly to set the hook with a quick, steady lift. After a catch, handle with care and remove the hook gently to reduce stress on the fish; always follow local regulations and best-practice catch-and-release guidelines where applicable.
Care, durability and compatibility
Because this is a lightweight, XS-sized hook, care between sessions is important to maintain sharpness and performance. Rinse and dry after use in salt or brackish water, and store in a dry tackle box to prevent corrosion. If a hook shows any signs of bending or corrosion, replace it rather than risking a missed fish or a wasted session. The Micro Barb is designed to be compatible with typical light-to-medium tackle used by UK anglers, and it pairs well with standard line systems and the broader Guru LWGF range. If you already use Guru LWGF gear, you’ll likely find this hook to slot in as a natural extension of your existing setup. Maintenance tips
Keep hooks dry and clean; wipe off moisture after fishing in damp conditions. Inspect the barb and eye for burrs or corrosion; replace if you notice any damage. Store separately from heavier rigs to prevent bending and keep a sharp point ready for next trip. Sharpen carefully if needed, using proper hook sharpeners and avoiding excessive metal removal.
Related products and accessories
For an optimal UK fishing experience, consider exploring other items in the Guru LWGF family that complement micro barb, XS hooks. Look for related lightweight hooks, rig components, and standards-compliant line options that fit your typical river, estuary, or canal sessions. The range is designed to offer compatibility with common tackle used by UK anglers, so you can build out rigs that suit your preferred species and water conditions without overhauling your kit. Tips for UK anglers
In UK waters, presentation matters as much as bite timing. The small size and clean profile of the XS eyed hook can help you present delicate baits more naturally, especially in clear water or when fish are wary. Use calm, steady retrieves and watch for subtle line movement rather than relying on aggressive strike actions. When conditions are windy or choppy, a compact hook like this can help keep your bait in the strike zone longer by reducing drift and snag risk. Always consider local regulations on hooks and baits, and adjust your rig to the species you’re targeting, whether that’s small roach, dace, or other species common to your clubs and marks. Overall, the Guru LWGF Micro Barb XS 18 Eyed offers a focused, purpose-built option for anglers seeking a small, easy-to-use hook that pairs well with standard UK gear. It’s designed to disappear in the presentation while delivering dependable hook-up opportunities, helping you fish smarter on days when bite confidence is high and you want to rely on finesse rather than force.
Guru Extra Distance Hybrid Feeder In-line System
Designed for anglers keen to push their casting distance while keeping bait presentation tidy, this inline system combines a flexible feeding approach with a dependable weight profile. It’s aimed at UK river and lake sessions where distance and precision matter, helping you place feed exactly where you want it while reducing tangles and drifts in varying conditions. Extra distance casting potential with an inline design that keeps lines neat and manageable for longer sessions on rivers and lakes. Hybrid feeder concept blends solid weight with adaptable feed release for versatile presentation across different baits and groundbait mixes. Streamlined inline profile reduces snagging and line twist, helping you keep control during windy days or tight swims. Rugged construction built to withstand damp UK conditions and the rigours of regular use on day-ticket fisheries and reservoirs. Simple setup that works with common inline rigs and standard gear used by many UK anglers, minimising faff when you’re chasing bites. Flexible feeding options: suitable for a range of bait types and groundbait formulations to match local conditions and fish species.
Usage instructions
Getting started with the Guru Extra Distance Hybrid Feeder In-line System is straightforward. Attach the feeder to your main line using a secure inline connection, ensuring the system sits as a straight, balanced profile on delivery. Load the feeder with your chosen bait mix—whether groundbait, pellets, or a blend your local venue responds to—and make any balance adjustments by adding or removing fine feed if the system permits. When you cast, aim for a clean, smooth motion to keep the feeder stable on impact and to help the feed disperse consistently once it sinks.
During the session, monitor how the feed settles on the water. If you’re finding the bites are a touch light, consider slightly increasing the volume of attractant within the feeder or adjusting the distance by altering the main line length to place the feed deeper or shallower. After a run, if you need to recast, refill the feeder as required and reattach securely to maintain a consistent presentation. Rinse the system after use and allow it to dry before storing to extend its life in damp conditions. Common questions and quick tips
Fit: The inline design is intended for inline rigs and typical fishing setups used in UK venues. If you use a non-inline system, you may not get the intended performance. Durability: Built to cope with regular use and damp weather; check for any wear on moving parts and replace or service as needed to maintain reliability. Compatibility: Works with standard line sizes and feeders common to feeder fishing; if your rig differs significantly, test on a practice cast before fishing a new venue.
Care and maintenance
After fishing, rinse the system with clean water to remove any mud, bait residue, or salt from the water you’ve fished in. Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent corrosion or mould. Inspect any connection points or interchangeable parts regularly and replace worn components to keep performance consistent on the bank. UK anglers often mix and match gear to suit local venues. If you’re unsure about compatibility with your current rig or bait approach, consult your local tackle shop or club members who fish the same spots. The right combination can make a big difference to bite rates and overall day-time enjoyment on days when the weather is changeable. Related products

Remember to respect local rules and bag limits, and always fish responsibly to protect the waterways you love.
Guru Super MWG Barbless Eyed PTFE Coated, available in ALL SIZES
Barbless design for easier release and safer handling. This feature is particularly handy for catch-and-release practice and for anglers who want quicker unhooking at the water’s edge. With barbless hooks, you spend less time fussing with the fish and more time fishing, a real boon on long sessions along UK coastlines or rivers. It’s proper handy for wading anglers who want quick, clean unhooking and less faff at the water’s edge. The barbless form also reduces jaw damage to the fish, which can help with fish welfare and keep you compliant with many fisheries rules that favour barbless hooks.
Eyed design means you thread the line through the eye and tie with standard knots, offering a secure connection that’s familiar to most anglers. Eyed hooks are straightforward to rig, making them a reliable choice for both beginners and seasoned anglers. Whether you prefer the classic clinch knot, Palomar, or other common eye-hook knots, you’ll find it straightforward to set up. This makes it easier to swap rigs quickly when you’re moving between pegs or adapting to changing tides and conditions. It’s the sort of setup that saves you time and avoids the usual rigging faff, which every UK boat or bank angler will appreciate.
PTFE coating provides a smooth surface that helps reduce friction during casting and hooking. The coating can help the hook glide through bait and tissue with less resistance, which some anglers notice as more confident hook-ups and cleaner releases. While PTFE coatings don’t magically boost your catch rate, they can contribute to smoother handling and potentially longer life by limiting wear on the hook’s point and eye. It’s a practical upgrade for long days on the bank or by the shore, giving you a reliable edge when you’re delivering that delicate presentation to wary fish.
All sizes available means you can choose the exact hook size to match your bait, target species, and rig. The “ALL SIZES” designation in the product title signals a broad size range, so you can pair small hooks with maggots or worms for delicate presentations, or opt for larger sizes when using bigger baits or targeting bigger fish. Getting the right size helps you achieve the right balance between bite sensitivity and hook exposure, which is crucial for both match-style fishing and casual sessions along UK coastlines and rivers. It’s the kind of flexibility that keeps you prepared for changing runs and tides without needing a full kit change.
Compatibility and versatility: designed to work with standard lines and leaders used by UK anglers, and suitable for various rigs that rely on eyed hooks. The combination of an eyed eye, barbless point, and smooth PTFE coating gives you a dependable option for a range of fishing situations, from delicate bait presentations to more robust setups. It’s not a gimmick; it’s a practical tool that sits in the tackle box when you need a reliable, easy-to-handle hook for days on the estuary, river, or coast. This is the kind of gear that earns a place in any proper UK kit bag.
Care and maintenance: to get the most from your Guru Super MWG Barbless Eyed PTFE Coated hooks, rinse them in fresh water after use in saltwater environments, and ensure they dry thoroughly before storage. Store them in a dry, organised container to prevent nicks on the point and to keep the hooks aligned. Regular inspection of the eye and point for wear will help you avoid missed bites and ensure you’re always set for the next run. A bit of care goes a long way, especially when you’re out on long sessions along the coast or by the rivers of the UK; it saves you from the last-minute scramble before the tide turns.
