FAQs

What are the main advantages of the Speed Stop system?

The Speed Stop system securely holds the hookbait on the hair, ensuring optimal presentation and preventing the bait from sliding off, especially important with softer baits or during casting.

What types of fish are these rigs best suited for?

These rigs are ideal for targeting larger species such as carp, F1s, bream, and tench, particularly in commercial fishing or when using running line tactics.

Can I use any type of hookbait with these rigs?

They are designed for most popular hookbaits like pellets and boilies. The optimum hair length works best with baits that fit this size range. For very large or small baits, adjustments may be needed.

How do I load a bait onto the Speed Stop Ready Rig?

Insert a Speed Stop Needle into the Speed Stop, push the Stop through your bait, and remove the needle. The micro silicone on the hook shank helps keep the bait in place.

What is the benefit of the QM1 hook?

The QM1 hook features a unique swept shape, short shank, and sharp, beaked offset point, providing a very secure hook hold and significantly reducing the number of lost fish.

What line are these rigs tied on?

All Guru QM1 Speed Stop Ready Rigs are tied on tried and tested N-Gauge line, which is a popular choice among match and coarse anglers for its reliability.

Are there different length options available?

Yes, these ready rigs are available in two lengths: 4 inches and 15 inches, to cover a wide array of different fishing situations.

Troubleshooting

Hookbait not staying secure on the hair.

Ensure the Speed Stop is fully pushed through the bait and lying flat. Check if the micro silicone on the hook shank is properly positioned. For larger baits, a slightly longer Speed Stop might be needed if available separately.

Hook pulling out during the fight.

Ensure the QM1 hook is sharp and properly set in the fish's mouth. Check the line diameter is appropriate for the target species; a thicker line may provide more strength. Ensure the hookbait is not too large, which can impede the hook's gape.

Speed Stop is difficult to insert into bait.

Ensure you are using baits of an appropriate size and density. For very firm baits, you might need to slightly pre-pierce the bait with a fine needle before inserting the Speed Stop.

Rig tangling during casting.

Ensure the hookbait is securely held by the Speed Stop and silicone. Consider using a bait band for extra security on very soft baits. Practice casting with a controlled retrieve to minimize tangles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Loading Bait: Insert a Speed Stop Needle into the thicker end of a Speed Stop.
  2. Attach Bait: Push the thinner end of the Speed Stop through your hookbait.
  3. Secure: Ensure the Speed Stop is fully through the bait and lying flat against it. Remove the needle.
  4. Positioning: The micro silicone on the hook shank helps keep the bait in place against the Speed Stop.

Compatibility:

  • Hookbaits: Ideal for most popular hookbaits like pellets, boilies, and certain artificial baits that can accommodate the Speed Stop.
  • Fishing Styles: Suited for running line work (feeder, bomb) and certain pole fishing applications.
  • Target Species: Effective for carp, F1s, bream, tench, and other coarse fish.
  • Storage: 4" rigs come on rig boards; 15" rigs come on spools that fit Guru Rig Boxes.

Care:

  • After use, gently rinse the rig with clean water to remove any debris.
  • Store rigs flat and dry to maintain the integrity of the line and hook.
  • Inspect the hook point for sharpness before each session and re-sharpen or replace if necessary.
  • Avoid excessive force when loading baits to prevent damage to the Speed Stop or bait.
