Product Information

Full details

The Guru Caged Window Feeder is an essential tool for match and specimen anglers who need to cast bait at long distances while ensuring a rapid, effective release upon hitting the lake bed. Designed for those who prefer feeding particles, this feeder features an open cage construction that outperforms traditional closed windows in certain swim scenarios, though its open structure means it is less suitable for very sticky groundbait mixes compared to standard window designs.

FAQs

Are these compatible with standard Guru Window Feeder weights?

Yes, the Caged Window Feeder uses the same X-Change weight system as the original window feeder range.

Can I use groundbait with this feeder?

Yes, but it is best used as a 'plug' to keep particles inside the cage rather than relying on it as the primary bait.

What is the best way to load the feeder?

Place a small amount of damp groundbait in the bottom, add your particles, and top off with another plug of groundbait.

Will this feeder tangle during the cast?

Its aerodynamic shape is designed to prevent tangles, but always ensure your rig is streamlined and check your hookbait before every cast.

Is it suitable for shallow water?

While it can be used, its fast sink rate and design are optimized for deep water and long-distance work.

Troubleshooting

Weight is loose or wobbly during the cast.

Ensure the X-Change locking screw is fully tightened and the threads are free of silt.

Bait is falling out before hitting the water.

Use a slightly tighter groundbait 'plug' at both ends of the cage to hold loose particles in place.

Difficulty in changing weights.

Rinse the feeder thoroughly; sometimes dried bait or silt can cause the threaded connection to seize.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: attach your main line to the feeder swivel and select the desired weight from your X-Change collection. To swap weights, simply unscrew the base, slide off the current weight, and replace it with the desired size. Always ensure the locking mechanism is securely engaged before casting. After each session, rinse the feeder in fresh water to remove any lingering bait particles or silt. If you notice any debris trapped in the cage, use a soft bristle brush to clear the mesh. Store your weights in a separate tackle box compartment to prevent them from scratching or losing their finish over time.
