Thanks for all the replies with a unanimous vote for the Original. I have noticed Tesco and Asda don't sell it, can anyone assist with a retailer that does please ? Thanks Ali

HI ALL I HAVE HEARD THAT VITALIN IS A CHEAP WAY OF BOOSTING YOUR GROUND BAIT MIXES. I HAVE LOOKED AT THEIR WEBSITE WHICH OFFERS VARIOUS ONES FOR SALE. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND FROM EXPERIENCE WHICH ONE IS BEST ? I AM DOING METHOD FEEDER FISHING AND THE SPECIALISED GROUND BAIT MIXES ARE EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET SO NEED A CHEAP ADDITIVE THAT WORKS. ANY IDEAS PLEASE.... THANKS Ali

Happy Birthday Elton - keep up the good work with the site, its a minefield of info Ali

Thanks for the replies - the swivel fits inside the feeder so from your advice I guess it is semi-fixed. I will try and use it. Thanks

Thanks for the reply - does anyone else know for sure ?

Fortunately I have a day off work tomorrow so was planning a trip to Suffolk Water Park with my feeder rod and method feeder tackle. Looking at the venue rules they state NO FIXED RIGS. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether the Method Feeder is a FIXED RIG. I don't think it is as it can detach if required, but I don't want to set off without knowing. Help please ? Thanks Ali

Hi Thanks for the reply. What confuses me is the ratio ie what end part( ie 4.5.6oz) to size of method feeder (14 or3 5 gm etc..?? Does that make sense ?

I have recently started method feeder fishing but being a novice was not sure which size method feeder bits to use. My rod is a medium to heavy one with three size ends (4,5 and 6 oz) Can anyone help in telling me what size method feeder (cage type part ie what you put the groundbait on) that I should use ? They come in all sorts of sizes and I am looking to buy 10 plus for a reasonable price from a reputable website. Thanks Ali

LOL

Sack Ashton !! Why drop Cipriani ? He wasn't even out drinking and even he had been he would have done better than the shower that turned up today...

Thanks everyone, I have downloaded mailwasher so will wait to see what happens !

Thanks for all the responses. I have a freeserve e-mail account which is now managed by Orange and use Outlook Express, if that answers the questions ?

I keep receiving unwanted e-mail re viagra and fake jewellery etc. Anyone know of good cheap software that will block it ? I have recently installed the Norton antivirus 2008 software but that doesn't do anything with spam. Any ideas please ? Thanks - Ali

Thanks for all the help. But one more question - any idea of the right type of rig set up for the method feeder ? Easy to follow instructions would be good ! Thanks Ali

I have used Elton's link and bought the Prologic medium/heavy feeder rod and Mitchell Avocet reel. Can anyone advise what line to use for this combo. Thanks for the advice so far.... I will probably be asking for advice of feeder rigs next ! I am off fishimg tomorrow with my waggler float rod but can't wait till the new gear arrives. Ali

I took your advice and have bought the prologic feeder medium/heavy feeder rod and the mitchell reel. Are you able to suggest what line to use for this combo ? Thanks so far Ali

England were highly dissapointing. There was no game plan and they kicking to the SA backs so they could run at us again.. Not confident now about the Samoa game............

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like the TFG kits are no longer. Any suggestions as to rod and reel combo to suit method feeder fishing ? Budget is about £70... Ali

Thanks, looks like a good offer. Would you suggest medium one for method fishing and what sort of reel to accompany it ? Ali

The TFG starter kit sound good. In reply to the two questions: 1. I mainly fish comercial waters/lakes. 2. I want to catch carp, tench, bream, roach rudd and anything else that comes my way ! I intend to do the method feeder, so rods and reels suitbale for that are what I am after.. All help gratefully received and how to set up the rig etc.. Thanks Ali

Thanks that would be useful, does it include the reel ?

I am fairly new to angling and have really only done float fishing so far. However a mate let me use his feeder rod recently and I like the idea of that kind of fishing. I am considering buying a feeder rod but have no idea which would be best for the price. My budget would probably be about £50 and an idea of a suitable reel would be good also. Thanks

Being a novice I have only done waggler float fishing. However, I was fishing yesterday with a mate and had a go with his feeder rod. I am now up for trying this type of fishing. We used a method feeder, and I think I grasped the basics on how to set up the rig etc.. Can anyone provide advice on a suitable method feeder rod for under £50. The reel I currently use is a Shimano 2500 Exage and I wondered if this would be suotable for this type of fishing ? Any advice on feeder fishing is also gratefully received ! Ali

Thanks everyone-will have a go, although I may need a new rod bag. Any suggestions for 2-3 made up rods? Ali
