These definately work. Ive seen homemade versions work in the past. Definately best to check with any fishery that already has fixed feeders banned tho folks. Ps. If you buy map tks elastic u get 6m for about £7
Thank you for confirming this works, there are others that don’t think it will 😂 even though I have used them. I agree though always check with the fishery you want to use them on 👍🏻 is the Map elastic as strong? 💪🏻
Great tutorial film pal 👍 ive always loved the idea of an elasticated stem but unfortunately the lakes I fish have banned them😢 mostly due to fish care which is totally understandable. The preston version I agree is a death trap and its relying on the ics to do the work which doesn't always happen as we know. The Guru one is bang on and works more or less on the same principle as your version 👍well done mate 😊👍
This rig works great, I made some last night with elastic I had on my pole, the people in the comment saying that It doesn’t work are incorrect. You can cast perfectly with it. It doesn’t pull out on the cast because that egg quick change is wider than the stem. Take no notice of the haters westy this is brilliant and will be using it from now on 👍🏻
@@takleteck7008 what the quick change pulling snug into the bottom of the feeder ? I don’t understand? It works fine I have used it all day casting to an island ?
As the club I am in only allows free running method feeders I only use free running where ever I go So although its helpful to some people I won't be making any But thought I would comment to let you know 🙂
What about really heavy cast...? That's why in Preston's mainline is tied to a stemp not to a elasticated gum, during heavy cast gum will come out from a stemp.
No this doesn’t happen as the tail rubber /sleeve stops the elastic coming backwards 👍🏻 it’s mostly for commercials this anyway so casts of like 20-30ft max 🎣 also when your casting the egg quick change won’t fit back through the stem, it will only pull out forwards
@@WestysAngling Could you let me know when you start selling them because I'm not to good with my hands so I would have problems making them. Thank you. Dave

@@WestysAngling certainly is and you get 6m, never let me down yet
It's not a Westys video without rain 😂. On a serious note, it is a very informative video. . I shall be making some of them.

@@WestysAnglingthis guy is really gunning for you westy 😂 must work for a tackle company that want us all to buy their stems hahaha
Thanks Matt,
I am going to have a go at making these.
Barry
great westy brill idea keep going mate ta
great tutorial mat!
Thanks fella . Good tutorial
answers all the questions.
hi, what diameter of the elastic rub is it? is 2.2mm fitable or thinner? thank you
Wich elastic its stronger,the black or the blue one?
Go for the black, better diameter 👌🏻

It’s rare I use them either ! But the videos there for those interested 👍🏻
Can these be used on fisheries that stipulate a running rig must be used?
I would be cautious and say no 👍🏻
Which size egg swivels for guru hybrid feeders? Cheers
Go small

The rig works I have tried it today even on the cast
Mate those feeders on your site are so cheap ! Good quality too
Westy are you selling these feeders? I would like a couple! Cheers Dave! 🎣🎣
Hi Dave! Hope you are well buddy, no not with the elastics as of yet
@@WestysAngling Could you let me know when you start selling them because I'm not to good with my hands so I would have problems making them. Thank you. Dave
Very good but not as versatile as guru connector where just a loop is needed on your mainline to allow a ready prepared feeder to be swapped.
do you make them Elasticated Stem and sell them on your website I think that's a quality idea you have come up with 🎣
It may be something I consider moving forward 😁 I have just replied to your message buddy 👍🏻
Gum line?
You should do a fishery review for old hough fisheries
It is actually on the list 🎣
It makes me wonder why the so called big companies haven’t done this on their feeders
It’s probably really difficult to mass produce 👍🏻
