Matrix Evolution Method Feeders

The original Matrix Evolution Method Feeders were designed to save match anglers valuable time. They had quick-change line slots and removable tail-rubbers to make changing feeders a doddle – all that was missing was a smaller version.

Thankfully, that vacancy has now been filled, as Matrix has now extended its Evolution feeder range in weights of 17g, 23g, 30g and 40g, with moulds for each.

Price: Feeder £1.99, Mould £3.99  


MAP Frameless Method Feeders

Based on the trusted MAP Quick Change System, these new Method feeders with their accompanying soft mould are perfect for commercial fishing with pellets and groundbait.
With no framework to get tangled up on, they can be loaded with a variety of feeds, and your hookbait will present perfectly on the concave bait table that sits above the removable central tube.

But the real beauty of these feeders is that their Quick Change system means you don’t have to break down your rig to change feeder size, or for that matter, type. Any MAP pellet, cage, or open-end feedes can be used on this central tube. Two sizes of feeder – small (20g) and large (30g) – are available with matching moulds.

Price: Feeders £1.99, moulds £1.85


E-Sox Dropshot Bomb Weights

These E-Sox Dropshot weights feature a specially designed bulbous base to enable them to pivot while holding bottom. This allows you to impart even more subtle and lifelike movements into the lure without having to move the bomb. Their unique shaping also helps with accurate casting, whilst the special camo coating helps then blend into the bottom. To use them you simply lock your line into the special swivel, without any need for knots, so you can adjust the length of the rig quickly and easily. This also means the bomb can be safely dis-engaged should you become snagged.

Available in 4g, 8g, 12g, 16g, 20g.


Guru Specialist Gripper Feeders

Guru’s superb Specialist Gripper Feeders look ideal for the running water enthusiast. Their unique anti-roll, low-profile design helps them to stay put in the fastest currents.

Each feeder comes with a quick-change tube that enables it to serve as an inline or swivel pattern. The open-mesh design suits all water conditions and bait types, while the forward fitted lead weight assists casting accuracy and distance.

The increased surface area of the lead is said to improve the feeder’s stability, which is further enhanced by the profiled gripper feet along the bottom edge. The camo colour makes it unobtrusive in the water. Available in Medium (1oz or 2oz) and (Large 3oz or 4oz).


Korda COG Kits

These kits are made to work exclusively with Korda COG leads. Each pack comprises three lead clips and tail rubbers and three correct length leadcore booms for use with a matching weight and shaped lead.

Simply attach the lead clip to your COG lead in the normal way, then insert the fixing pin into the centre of the lead. To prevent tangles, tubing and leadcore leaders are recommended, as are coated hooklink materials.

Price: £4.99


Korda COG Leads

This latest lead system is so called because the rig is attached to the lead in the exact centre of gravity, so when a fish picks up the bait it hits the full weight of the lead immediately, turning far more pick-ups into actual runs and fish on the bank. It is far more effective than a standard lead clip set-up.

Lead types include Flat Swivel Distance and Flat Swivel Pear in 2.5oz, 3oz and 3.5oz options.

Price: £1.85


Guru Inline X-Safe Leads

This new product can be used as a standard running lead, or as a semi-fixed bolt set-up by locking a size 11 swivel into the soft rubber insert.

By removing the insert and replacing it with the X-Safe stem you can create the ultimate, elasticated, safe, bolt-rig bomb-fishing system. 

The quick-change clip enables you to alternate lead sizes and other X-Safe products like the method and pellet feeder in seconds. Available in ⅔oz, 1.1oz, 1.5oz and 2oz. A pack containing two leads costs £2.85.


Dinsmores Flying Back Lead

Flying back leads sit just above your rig and slide along and up the mainline on the cast. When they land on the lakebed they help to pin down the last few feet of your line, keeping it out of the carp’s way.

These items from Dinsmore come in a ‘low-glare’ green colour and are available in a variety of sizes to suit all situations.

RRP: £2.99


Korda Intelligent Backleads

Pinning the reel line down tight to the lakebed to avoid spooking fish is essential on some waters.

These Intelligent Backleads stay on the mainline without dropping off but the clever anti-snag design means they pull apart and automatically eject if they become snagged in weed.

Available in four sizes – 0.5oz, 1oz, 1.5oz and new 0.25g – with three backleads in a pack.

RRP £4.60
