now its getting to winter time i'm fishing the rivers and i was just wondering when i'm using a method feedershould i use a short rig or a longer rig as i'm a carp fisherman so i don't really know what to do for barbel

My question is why are you using a method feeder to fish for river barbel in winter?

Personally i would use pellet on the hook with about six pellets attatched in a pva stocking and a 2-3oz lead. i wouldnt want that much bait going in and i doubt the effectiveness of a method feeder in a relatively fast moving water anyway.

Forget how long the rig should be I would review your approach to river fishing especially barbel, not the same as fishing for carp in a pond.

 

Suggest you save the method feeder for the commercials, no good whatsoever for the proper stuff Not just a case of sitting behind the buzzers and hauling thankfully....I am sure some help can be given however, just need to take off the carp head.

 

Soooo next question?
