Description
The Preston Innovations ICS Banjo XR Mould XL is engineered to deliver perfectly shaped, aerodynamic, and consistent bait parcels every single cast. Specifically calibrated to fit the XL frame sizes of the Preston ICS Banjo XR feeder range, this mould ensures optimum compression so groundbait or micro pellets stay intact during high-velocity casts and break down rapidly once settled on the lakebed.
Featuring high-grip side compression wings, it allows you to exert maximum pressure with minimal effort. The smooth, non-stick internal surface paired with a quick-release push button base guarantees clean, hassle-free bait release without tearing your setup apart.

Pro Tip
Gerry’s Pro Tip: When loading micro pellets, soak them thoroughly and let them sit for 10–15 minutes until pliable before molding. Place your hookbait flat in the bottom of the mould, layer your damp pellets or groundbait over it, and push the feeder frame firmly into the mould using the side wings. Don’t overtighten or use soaking wet bait; a quick push and a firm click on the base release button will pop out a tight, aerodynamic wedge that lands quietly and stays intact on impact.
Where to Use
-
Commercial Match Fisheries: Ideal for targeting carp, F1s, and skimmers when fishing at distance where high bait payload and strict accuracy are required.
-
Deep Waters & Long Casts: Perfect for deep venues where your feed needs to stay safely encased on the feeder base until it reaches the bottom.
-
High-Volume Feeding: Use the XL capacity when fish are feeding aggressively and require a larger parcel of pellets or groundbait to hold them in your swim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this XL mould fit standard Small, Medium, or Large Banjo XR feeders?
A: No, the XL mould is specifically shaped and dimensioned for the ICS Banjo XR XL feeder range to ensure precise bait compression and load shape.
Q: Can I use this with original Preston Dura Banjo feeders?
A: While designed specifically for the Banjo XR line, it works best with the updated ICS Banjo XR XL feeder frames for an exact contour fit.
Q: How do I stop groundbait from sticking to the inside of the mould?
A: The non-stick plastic construction prevents sticking, but keeping your hands clean and giving the inside of the mould a quick rinse or wipe down between mixes ensures an easy release every time.
