Product Details
The Wide Gape hook has become a true design classic, and has accounted for more big carp than any other pattern. It was based on the cult Maruta Kinryu pattern that found favour with the likes of Terry Hearn in the 1990s. The five-degree in-turned eye, short shank, heavily forged bend and beaked point combine to give anglers a hooked-to-landed ratio far in excess of anything else that's achievable. It can be used for pop-up and bottom-bait presentations and is the hook to opt for when fishing for the very biggest and trickiest carp around.

Catapult's & Spares, A range of three catapults and accessories that will cover you for all your fishing needs. The Original Pult was the first Guru catapult and is still regarded as the benchmark for coarse-fishing 'pults! It's the perfect all rounder because strong elastic runs through the remarkable hollow frame of the catapult, allowing the elastics to be tensioned across six different pegging positions along the frame. 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. However, when you do need to change them, you'll be pleased to note that there are spare elastics available. The pouch has been carefully crafted to facilitate this unrivalled accuracy of feeding, grouping baits like maggots, casters, pellets and corn extremely tightly. The accuracy that these pults allow will make be the difference between second and first in your next match! The Light Pult has all the same technical features of the Original, but is much more delicate and has been designed primarily for pole fishing. As a result, it's perfect for grouping light baits tightly at up to 20m. The Incredible Pult is, as the name suggests, is perfect for baiting tightly at long range. As well as the catapults themselves, we also produce a full range of spares, including elastics and pouches.
15" QM1 Speed Stop, These ready-tied rigs are perfect for use with bomb, feeder and waggler use. They feature the radical QM1 pattern, which provide the most secure hook holds going. The rigs are supplied on EVA spools, which fit perfectly into the Guru Rig Box for storage. The Speed Stop bait attachment allows for speedy baiting with soft baits, such as luncheon meat, corn and worms, as well as boilies.
Krank X, The original Krank hook pattern, devised by Tom Dove, has been so successful, it seemed only right to add to the family. The latest addition comes in the formidable shape of the Krank X, which is exactly the same as the Krank, but is made from a thicker, stronger wire, which means that it's perfect for more extreme fishing conditions.
Eazi-Melt PVA String, Spread-Em PVA Tape. This woven tape has a coarse texture to its flat cross section. This makes it perfect for stringers because the texture will actually hold the baits apart even with the force of the cast. It is not necessary to tie this onto the hook either, because of the woven element, all you have to do is hook the point of the hook through it, it will not tear on the cast and this ensures no residue is left around the hook once the tape has melted. This material is very strong when dry, making it ideal for tying up the top of solid PVA bags. Eazi-Melt PVA String We recommend you double it up by pulling your baits onto a loop of string and then hand the string over the hook before pulling the top bait back up against the hook to tighten the loop so the loop cannot slip back off the hook in flight. Do not use this product for tying the hair up tight to the hook, if it is pulled too tight the water cannot attack the PVA strands in the middle of the braid and the knot may remain, we recommend going over to the Kwik-Melt solid tape for this and any application where you need to tie a very tight over hand knot. You will find this string super strong when dry making it ideal for tying up the top of PVA bags where a small amount residue will do no harm to your presentation. Kwik Melt Tape Kwik Melt tape has become the favourite PVA tape for many of our most-admired big-carp anglers. It's great for stringers, as well as tying off PVA bags and securing hairs on the cast. As the name suggests, Kwik Melt dissolves reliably even in cold conditions. It is supplied as conventional 10mm tape, as well as 5mm twin-tape.
