I did that about 5 years ago so my map Preston and guru fitted. Also if you get a fine blade junior hacksaw on the stem and cut through can make the stem interchangeable too.
I did this not long after I started using them top tip wet n dry cut mark helps smooth cut to stop line From nicks touch up with black marker if blade jumps
Brilliant tip just finished doing all mine found I had to just rub a file for a few seconds round the preston stems bit tight fit.but all finished cheers 👍😉
Alan, I'm still looking for a stem (non elasticated inside) that fits the guru bombs, as I brought loads of their bombs when they came out. But as you mentioned Hallcroft will not allow those fixed elasticated stems. Guru don't do a simple stand alone stem. Their feeder stems do fit, but not really properly, any thoughts Alan?. We'll, done for the video by the way, I too spend almost as much time messing with bits regarding my fishing, as actually fishing. I don't expect WE are not alone Alan?
Great thinking angler been doing something similar cutting through the leads on cheaper brands for 2 years now.but Guru are on it now should be out soon.10 out of 10 .
I wonder why Guru don't have ICS till this day still... Preston have it, Matrix have it some other brands also have it. Less weight to carry u can even prepare ur rods in home and then add whatever u like on ur Stem.
You would of thought a forward looking COMPANY like Guru with the best feeder angler in the world did not sure this out especially after Preston showed them how to do it
I was waiting with baited breath ( no pun intended ). If he is worried about how much bait stays on the feeder ,why not a Preston banjo ? Simples or is it just me ?
Well done Alan.
A man after my own heart.
I enjoy tackle tinkering nearly as much as fishing itself. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Been doing this a while now..Great to see a tackle shop giving away money saving tips

I've been using the Matrix open alloy its near identical to the hybrid & fits straight on perfectly no sawing required 😂

Happy days and just like that my Guru feeders are back in the game :)

Thank you Mr Wickersley Angling.
Ps - Can you get hold of 0.5 oz quiver tips for the Browning Commercial King F1 wand (8 feet)??

good timing . I like a bedtime 🌙 story
Really good post and TIP.Good friend of mine showed me this TIP s
Great Alan, super idea. I like the look of the matrix pellet feeders... do they fit on the Preston isc stem??? Anyone?
He's just told you in the video 🤷♂️
I've just finished doing all mine brilliant thanks for a great vid awesome 👍🎣🐟😁

Sure they will with there 100% mark up 😱😱👏
Done it last year..... Easy, good vids keep um coming 😂 stay safe 👍
Been doing it for two years m8 was trying to keep it secret lol but it's a good idea definitely 👍
Seams obvious now. Glad you pointed it out 😁
Thanks for the handy tip.
Good honest advice.
I did the same thing but cut through the whole lead at the bottom! Doh!
I wonder why Guru don't have ICS till this day still... Preston have it, Matrix have it some other brands also have it. Less weight to carry u can even prepare ur rods in home and then add whatever u like on ur Stem.
All of this could have been explained in about 4 mins.

Did this soon after they came out. Thought it was going to be something new. Was almost screaming "get on with it"
Wow!!! Great tip eventually 🤣🤣🤣
Guru are bringing an interchange one out soon.
I was waiting with baited breath ( no pun intended ).
If he is worried about how much bait stays on the feeder ,why not a Preston banjo ?
Simples or is it just me ?
Guru bringing out an interchange system now.
Just use the guru stem in both which gives the advantages of both
At 10.18, if I’d not looked at the screen I’d av swore that was Tom Pickering 🤔😳
Seems you caught the last bus! .... this modification is well known but at least you've gained a few pence from UA-cam 👍
Guru's interchangeable versions out this year...
Gone beyond that by cutting out the guru fixed lead as well
You can do this with leads as well, saves buying prestons over priced cubes.
This video could of been 1 minute long if he didn’t keep repeating his self over 9 minutes before he even showed you
Personally, for me personally, in my opinion, that was boring
Or just buy matrix feeder and bomb
The guru xsafe is interchangable just unhook top loop and change it
But not every fishery let u use em
The video was nearly 12 minutes and he said inline 1 million times did you miss that 🤔
Start at 8mins 30.
Eleven minutes to explain something that could have been done in two. Plus he split it on the wrong side!!!
And it took 11.32 to explain that ffs...
What a waffle
he could have said that in 2 minutes!!!!
Blah blah blah
Don't he go on😴
