FAQs
What types of bait are these pots best suited for?
They are optimized for groundbait and micro pellets that require rapid and precise release for optimum bait presentation.
Can these pots be used in deeper water?
While designed for shallow water and 'mudline' fishing, they can be used in deeper water, but their primary advantage of rapid release is most pronounced in shallower conditions.
How do I attach the pots to my pole?
The pots feature two pole fittings at the base that accommodate a wide range of top kit diameters, offering a secure and gentle fit.
Are these pots available in different sizes?
Yes, the Guru Fast Release Pole Pots are available in Small, Medium, and Extra Large sizes.
Will the colors spook the fish?
No, the pots feature neutral two-tone stealth colors designed to blend seamlessly with the water, reducing the chance of spooking fish.
What is the purpose of the tapered profile and drainage holes?
The tapered profile and strategically placed drainage holes ensure that water quickly permeates the bait, leading to a rapid and efficient release in a tight, precise area.
Troubleshooting
Bait not releasing quickly enough
Ensure the bait is not over-compacted within the pot. Try a looser packing of groundbait or micro pellets. Check that the drainage holes are clear of debris.
Pot feels loose on the pole top kit
Ensure you are using the correct fitting for your pole diameter. If the fit is still loose, consider using a small amount of pole elastic or tape on the pole tip before attaching the pot, if compatible with your setup.
Pot material seems stiff or damaged
Inspect the Soft-Safe material for any signs of wear or damage. If damaged, it may need to be replaced. Store the pots in a way that prevents extreme temperatures or pressure, which can affect the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, load the pot with your chosen bait (groundbait or micro pellets). Ensure the bait is not compacted too tightly, allowing for efficient release. Attach the pot to your pole's top kit using one of the two integrated fittings. The Soft-Safe material will grip gently but securely.
Compatibility: These pots are designed to fit a wide range of pole top kit diameters thanks to the two pole fittings provided at the base. The Soft-Safe material ensures a gentle, non-damaging connection.
Care: After use, rinse the pots thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual bait. Allow them to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as this could damage the Soft-Safe material or the pot's integrity. Store in a cool, dry place.
