Hi ll ... anyone tell me a good line to use for feeder ? many thanks Jace

hi all wel i did I went out and bought myself a new feeder rod (drennan 7 series) and about to purchase the korum chair with feeder arm but i am confused ... my freind says the best way to use the feeder is to put the drag on the lowest setting (to act as a bait runner) and then when the tip goes round to the drag on and then strike ..... is this the best way? Many thanks Jace

Hi All, well have been fishing now for about 2 months and loving it (some good days some not.... but hey thats what i like)... but have mainly been doing ledger / method fishing but am intrested in doing pole fishing.... have been told that is better ... and i must admit it does look good but is it complicated? all the best Jace

Hi All, Many thanks over the last few weeks getting me up and running. but I am now looking at obtaining a seat box, can anyone suggest a good seat box for a newbie many thanks Jace

hi all well i did it .... i went fishing ... 3 times and caught a total of 5 fish ( shimmer bream ) i am over the moon. however i have a couple of questions .... at the moment i have been using a maggot feeder with a quiver tip 2 oz, and i notice i seem to be getting alot of action on the tip when is the best time to strike ... as soon as it moves or wait until it moves hard also i got a bite on soomething big.... but being a newbee i didnt have my reel set right (clutch turned to stop) and it snaped my hook line in the end oopps.... learn by your mistakes i guess... but it was very exciting even though it got away am tempted to use the method feeder soon as well well thankyou ll for all your help so far people ... thanks Jace

Hi All Thanks to all the help lately and i am hoping to go fishing tomorrow just one question .... the local tackle shop sold me pre tied hooks as it would be easy for me (newbie) but what is the best way to attach the hook line (single) to the reel line also how far apart does the maggot feeder need to be away from the hook.... opps sorry that was two questions hahaha many thanks Jace
