Phone 750 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Emma two, No, now you've made it clear as mud. Why isn't the device in your first link a "cage feeder" rather than a "method feeder"? Goin' fishin' now. Phone Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Macfarlane 58 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am based in Scotland and wish to try this approach for Bream Carp and Tench. Have never actually seen the approach used can i ask some questions;1- Is it suitable for all of these 3 species ? Yes 2- Is a hair rigged bait best ? I'd say so but not asolutely essential. 3- Should the hooklength be fixed to the feeder ? Not always. I sometimes have my line runing freely through the feeder but I have a float stop further up the line to allow the fish to run a little before the bolt-effect takes place. 4- should i point the rod at the bait and use an alarm or do it sideways with a quiver ? Either or. Depends on how 'on it' you are. I often fish quiver side-on with the clutch off and sit right beside my rod. I sometimes use the alarm anyway, in case I need to take my eyes off the job to make a cuppa. 5- what length of hooklength length should I start with ? 4 inches would be a good start I think. Going shorter if the takes are confident, longer if less so. 6- why does one of the feeders I bought have a bright red rubber band on it ? If it's a closed feeder, it'll be powergum and it's just to keep the lid on tight whilst casting to prevent spillage. If it's more like a pole elastic and stretches quite a long way, then is more of shock absorber to prevent bouncing hooks off in fight.Any advice would be appreciated thanks Peter ¤«Thʤ«PÔâ©H¤MëíTë®»¤ Click HERE for in-fighting, scrapping, name-calling, objectional and often explicit behaviour and cakes.
