Convert A Guru Hybrid Feeder To Interchange On The Preston ICS System

Alan Taylor explains how he modifies a Guru Hybrid feeder to work with the Preston ICS system. This allows the feeder to be easily interchanged with other feeders and bombs in the range, without the need to strip the rig down.

Well done Alan. A man after my own heart. I enjoy tackle tinkering nearly as much as fishing itself. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Severn3310]

Been doing this a while now..Great to see a tackle shop giving away money saving tips

[@fishingnorfolk]

I did that about 5 years ago so my map Preston and guru fitted. Also if you get a fine blade junior hacksaw on the stem and cut through can make the stem interchangeable too.

[@jambonwain8918]

I've been using the Matrix open alloy its near identical to the hybrid & fits straight on perfectly no sawing required 😂

[@qotsa5728]

Happy days and just like that my Guru feeders are back in the game :)

[@johnmarron1944]

Brilliant tip just finished doing all mine found I had to just rub a file for a few seconds round the preston stems bit tight fit.but all finished cheers 👍😉

[@mickbrooks8114]

I did this not long after I started using them top tip wet n dry cut mark helps smooth cut to stop line From nicks touch up with black marker if blade jumps

[@Carrotcruncher]

I've just finished doing all mine brilliant thanks for a great vid awesome 👍🎣🐟😁

[@darrentaff8374]

good timing . I like a bedtime 🌙 story

[@TerryMatthews1]

Did this soon after they came out. Thought it was going to be something new. Was almost screaming "get on with it"

[@michaelgoff4731]

Done it last year..... Easy, good vids keep um coming 😂 stay safe 👍

[@tonyholdsworth1125]

Great thinking angler been doing something similar cutting through the leads on cheaper brands for 2 years now.but Guru are on it now should be out soon.10 out of 10 .

[@davep6286]

Sure they will with there 100% mark up 😱😱👏

[@johnbluett6079]

Really good post and TIP.Good friend of mine showed me this TIP s

[@briannorton2676]

Seams obvious now. Glad you pointed it out 😁

[@wayneharris7545]

Been doing it for two years m8 was trying to keep it secret lol but it's a good idea definitely 👍

[@jamiem2693]

I did the same thing but cut through the whole lead at the bottom! Doh!

[@garryhudson8384]

Good honest advice.

[@bartoszzaorski1956]

I wonder why Guru don't have ICS till this day still... Preston have it, Matrix have it some other brands also have it. Less weight to carry u can even prepare ur rods in home and then add whatever u like on ur Stem.

[@Jackspratt]

Thanks for the handy tip.

[@peterthornton8520]

All of this could have been explained in about 4 mins.

[@simondickinson2154]

Thank you Mr Wickersley Angling. Ps - Can you get hold of 0.5 oz quiver tips for the Browning Commercial King F1 wand (8 feet)??

[@johnbluett6079]

You would of thought a forward looking COMPANY like Guru with the best feeder angler in the world did not sure this out especially after Preston showed them how to do it

[@dalesmoocher6861]

Great Alan, super idea. I like the look of the matrix pellet feeders... do they fit on the Preston isc stem??? Anyone?

[@Northstar-Media]

He's just told you in the video 🤷‍♂️

[@richardbarrett7544]

Alan, I'm still looking for a stem (non elasticated inside) that fits the guru bombs, as I brought loads of their bombs when they came out. But as you mentioned Hallcroft will not allow those fixed elasticated stems. Guru don't do a simple stand alone stem. Their feeder stems do fit, but not really properly, any thoughts Alan?. We'll, done for the video by the way, I too spend almost as much time messing with bits regarding my fishing, as actually fishing. I don't expect WE are not alone Alan?

[@andypritchard8504]

Guru are bringing an interchange one out soon.

[@stu9334]

Seems you caught the last bus! .... this modification is well known but at least you've gained a few pence from KZbin 👍

[@nigelmiddleton2727]

Wow!!! Great tip eventually 🤣🤣🤣

[@colinqpr5395]

Guru bringing out an interchange system now.

[@frankshepherd645]

Just use the guru stem in both which gives the advantages of both

[@BazAmanda60]

I was waiting with baited breath ( no pun intended ). If he is worried about how much bait stays on the feeder ,why not a Preston banjo ? Simples or is it just me ?

[@kingfisher7687]

At 10.18, if I’d not looked at the screen I’d av swore that was Tom Pickering 🤔😳

[@andydownton6415]

Guru's interchangeable versions out this year...

[@tonyvickerstaff269]

Gone beyond that by cutting out the guru fixed lead as well

[@Enpassantful]

You can do this with leads as well, saves buying prestons over priced cubes.

[@craigmk6]

Personally, for me personally, in my opinion, that was boring

[@deanevans6077]

This video could of been 1 minute long if he didn’t keep repeating his self over 9 minutes before he even showed you

[@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497]

Or just buy matrix feeder and bomb

[@ChrisJones-jw6gn]

The guru xsafe is interchangable just unhook top loop and change it But not every fishery let u use em

[@dannylamb6494]

The video was nearly 12 minutes and he said inline 1 million times did you miss that 🤔

[@brianwelbourne9896]

Start at 8mins 30.

[@davidcowburn1025]

Eleven minutes to explain something that could have been done in two. Plus he split it on the wrong side!!!

[@meltonboroughcouncilaresht4292]

And it took 11.32 to explain that ffs...

[@johl5137]

What a waffle

[@duffbattye5235]

he could have said that in 2 minutes!!!!

[@Keepitsimple-m4p]

Blah blah blah

[@davewilkes6000]

Don't he go on😴
