Method feeder

What you need

• main line 0.22-0.28 mm
• flat method feeder 30-60 g (inline or with a snap)
• groundbait mould
• short hooklength 8-12 cm, 0.18-0.22 mm or braid
• size 8-12 hook with a “hair” or a pellet band
• method groundbait / 2 mm micro pellets

Steps

1. 1

   Thread the line through the inline feeder (or tie it to the feeder's snap with an elastic), add the quick-change connector.

2. 2

   Attach the short hooklength, with a hook with a “hair” for 8-10 mm boilies/wafters or a band for pellets.

3. 3

   Dampen the method mix until it sticks when squeezed; put the hook bait in the bottom of the mould, then the groundbait, then press the feeder in.

4. 4

   Cast to the same spot every time (use the reel's line clip), keep the line taut and the tip slightly bent.

5. 5

   The bite comes as a jerk of the tip: the fish has hooked itself; don't “strike”, just lift the rod.

Tips

• Recast every 5-10 minutes even without a bite: frequent small helpings make the difference.
• Brightly coloured 8-10 mm wafters (semi-buoyant) are the number 1 bait on the method.
