Method Feeder Rig

Description and diagram of the method feeder rig

This rig was kindly submitted by Anglers' Net forum member Lutra.

Method feeders come in a number of forms, inline ones which you fish rigged inline or some with a swivel at one end (sometimes elasticated for shock absorption) which you rig like a helicopter or semi fixed rig.

The hook bait can be made to be taken when fish dine on the sticky method feed on the feeder if the hook bait is press or partly buried in the feed on the feeder , not loose on the bottom like with other feeders . Having the hook bait pressed or partly buried in the feed can also gives the rig better anti-tangle properties making it better for long range casting.

A safe rig if rig semi fixed, but not good for small fish.
