Speed Bander – Bait Band Tool

The Guru Speed Bander is a compact tool that lets you quickly place delicate hook baits such as maggots and casters in a bait band. Developed in collaboration with Andy Bennett, its design helps you position the band centrally around the bait without unnecessarily damaging it.

Slide the bait band over the tip to the edge of the tool, place the bait in the opening and carefully pull the band over the bait. For a neat and discreet presentation, Guru recommends a small bait band, such as the Guru Micro Bait Bands. The durable plastic construction is lightweight, compact and easy to use at the waterside.
