Guru Slim Maggot

A really popular shape and style of float that has loads of uses, especially for fishing on the drop and through the water with baits like maggots, casters, squatts, pinkies and hemp. The bristle on this float is probably its biggest edge against all others, as it features a pure cane tip. When fishing ‘through the water’ and ‘on the drop’, cane offers amazing presentation and bait support, and can be very easily shotted, especially when dotting a float right down to a pimple. 

When fishing in the upper layers it also supports baits suspended off the bottom very well, a superb float for fishing casters in the upper layers of the water. The slim body combined with a thin carbon stem is perfect for fishing on the drop, with the float smoothly following the shot and rig down through the water, also offering very little resistance to a taking fish and providing a clean strike out of the water. 

The versatility of this pattern really is endless, and while it is perfect for use on canals and rivers with slow falling rigs, its equally at home when loose feeding casters or maggots on commercials for silvers, and even for fishing natural baits for F1s too.

Sizes Available: 0.15g, 0.25g, 0.35g, 0.5g 

Guru Natural Pole Float Range Explained:

This particular range of floats has been in development for a long time, we’re pretty sure you’ve seen various samples used by our consultants and in films for a good while now! However, we’ve been constantly tweaking and adding to the range during the design and production phase for us to produce a comprehensive collection of floats that are tailored to a diverse range of natural venue work across rivers, canals and stillwaters. Finally, they have arrived! 

The range comprises of eight different patterns that covers many shapes and sizes, all having specific uses in different situations. You’ve undoubtedly noticed that the floats have been tried and tested thoroughly by our team of international anglers, with the likes of Matt Godfrey, James Dent, Steve Ringer, Frankie Gianoncelli and Andy Bennett all contributing towards their production. Huge amounts of attention and lots of alterations have been made to the lengths and diameters of stems and bristles, so each size is unique and perfect for the situation in hand. 

The key feature that sets this range of floats aside from anything we or others have ever produced before is the Elastilex Paint Finish, giving the floats ultimate strength, durability and longevity. This finish means the high-quality balsa bodies of the float are protected by a super thin and incredibly durable elastic coating that wraps the body, preventing any damage to the body from wear, impact or line-cutting into it, further reducing the chances of the floats taking on water. The paint finish is dark in colour, which our key anglers felt was important with these floats been used on clear, natural venues, the dark body blending onto the water enabling ultimate focus on the Hi-Viz bristles.
