Thanks for watching

Fascinating watching how a matchman tackles a flood. 20 lbs of anything is good going. I would be tempted to hold the groundbait bucket between my legs off the ground if I used a drill to mix it as any fish nearby would feel those vibrations and leg it.

This would make a cracking pole feeder rig on lincolnshire rivers will give a go

Amazing how many anglers who make these video's saying they are using a shadow as a marker? Shadows move don't they? Good video but wish people would use proper terminology when describing set up instead of .16 line etc etc. Breaking strain line size of hook 16 etc.

[@SteveMaher-ft5xx]

Breaking strains on line doesn't mean what it used to. Example diameter 0.16 could be 4lb in one brand yet 7lb in another brand, diameter 0.16 is the same diameter regardless of what breaking strain is stated. Basically a lot of choice of line to choose from. Lines designed for the reel be it float or feeder fishing tend to still be measured by lbs breaking strain. Rig and hooklength lines tend to go on diameter, reel lines used in this video were Guru drag line 6lb, hook lengths were 0.17 Reflo Power line. Reflection a better choice of word to describe the maker.

Shadows move,reflections don’t.
