Thread: Feeder fishing help

hi feeder fishing depends on what type of fishing you are going to do.
carp fishing at distance tends to mean a powerful feeder rod with a big reel and
feeders i use a carbon active or diawa porky with a preston method feeders
line wise i use 8lb main line with 7lb hook length the feeders are either elasticated
or free running thats down to fishery rules.
river fishing is different again you can use block end feeders grip mesh or maggot feeders
on a running rig semi fixed rig or the loop these rigs can be used for tench barbel ,bream and carp your best bet it go to your local tackle shop and tell them what kind of fish you plan to catch and the waters you want a rod that will play carp but dont buy a 2.5 test curve carp rod for rivers

feeder fishing where do you start

well to start with there are lots of different rods to go at starting with a wand(super light for those winter silver fish)then there is the bomb rod(again very light for silver fish and shy bream)next is the light feeder rod (as it says light but will handle good size fish up to 5lb)then the med feeder (when you looking for good bream or small carp) next the heavy feeder (for rivers big carp)you also have muti length feeder rods 11ft-13ft and 12ft-14ft (they come in med/heavy heavy/x heavy mainly to give advantage of distance) ok the popular one the method feeder rod (for carp dont realy have another use in my eyes) reels well just get shimano (easy covered but get a stradic very strong reel)as for feeders and method/feeders there are loads to go at as long as they hold the bait will be fine.as for attaching them well best thing i could suggest is buy a dvd or book on feeder fishing or just ask a pal once you seen them done easy m8 trust i will have a look to see if i have a dvd to help better still here is something i found lol
