f you’re an angler who doesn’t like to let a little typical British weather get in the way of your match fishing then chances are you’ll already be taking precautions to ensure that you keep warm and dry on less than clement days. Waterproofs, baselayers, and maybe even an umbrella will likely all be part of your routine angling arsenal to ensure that you keep comfortable and focussed throughout the duration of your match. However, none of this will make a difference if your carefully prepared bait ends up sodden after a morning sat out in the rain so by the time you come to re-bait you’re left with a pile of mush that looks like it’s already spent a few days at the bottom of the swim.
This is where the team at Guru come in, with their innovative Bait Umbrella. With a footprint of only 90cm2, this umbrella won’t go very far to keeping you dry, but it is the perfect size to cover your bait tray and any accessories. The Guru Bait Umbrella is manufactured from a thick 210 denier material. This not only ensures that it is waterproof but it also ensures the durability of the umbrella – you won’t remove this from its carry bag to find tears or holes compromising the integrity of the fabric.
Uniquely, the Guru Bait Umbrella comes with two poles, which you can use interchangeably. The first of these is a telescopic pole. This is designed to be pushed into soft terrain and it allows the umbrella to sit up to 60cm off the ground, when you require a little extra height in order to access your bait and accessories easily. The second pole is an accessory pole. This has been purpose designed to fit on your seatbox in order to perfectly cover your side tray. This is low lying option that is ideal for windy days when you want your bait sheltered from more than one of the elements.
