Excellent video and very informative. Thanks.

[@roberthill5839]

Great video Andy & what a great tip thanks for sharing this mate 👍🎣

[@paulwilliams1519]

Brilliant video, Andy is the ultimate thinking angler. Well done, pal

[@wayneharris7545]

I've known Andy for years so I have seen this before but isant it awsome people I'm suer you agree! You can't do it every wher but it's so clever! And we'll thaught out approach! Well done the fin!!!!

[@jamesadcock9253]

Brilliant , the fin still the method master 👏

[@chrisbyard3033]

Great method but the shot above the feeder is a horrible idea. I would never want to leave a tethered fish on a break.

[@fightingfisherman9690]

Death rig, how they push this content crazy

[@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497]

6:20 bloody hell … these size 18s today would have been a size 14 back in the day 😂

[@OneDaveAtaTime]

Makes absolute sense. Especially fishing into a tight spot where poles are waving over the heads and spooking fish. It makes sense for fisheries to allow this because it also avoids feeders and line snagging on the far bank and interfering with wildlife. He’s a genius. Disagree with some of the the previous shallow comments

[@darrenmilne9944]

Especially with how lychgate used to be , it's had a makeover now but used to have loads of vegetation coming off the far banks and by doing this it was the only way you could get under the bushes and to the bank .. this was just a demonstration and he did mention doing it on the right peg , those saying easier to fish the pole or learn to cast accurate before the makeover would have found themselves fishing 5ft off the bank or fishing for squirrels 😅

[@andyfindlay793]

Loving the comments guys😂😂😂 Keep em coming 👍👍👍 #Preston Innovations #Sonubaits

[@darrenmilne9944]

See you in an hour .. no cupping the feeder in on A8 or A15 to the far bank 😅

[@michaelorchard5728]

Been trying to get this to work for awhile now, I’ll take some tips from this and give it another go. Thanks lads

[@billybatts294]

would this tactic work on a canal or does the venue have to be stuffed full of pellet caught carp

[@iantarant153]

Does the backshot still make this a free running rig?

[@fightingfisherman9690]

Just makes it death rig, terrible angling’s

[@stevenmoses5807]

I never cube meat I use a pellet punch that way it looks like a pellet but gives the fish a different taste and texture to hard pellets it always gets me more bites and bigger fish

[@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497]

Double rule break at most fisheries. Poling in is a no no all over the place and back shot isn’t a free running feeder 😂

[@UKprestoninnovations]

This venue allows this within the rules :)

[@sqwidink1]

Clever

[@gwi11y]

Been doing this for years.

[@stewartmercer19]

same here...

[@user-fk4oy1ro2z]

Is this not unsafe as a rig? 2ssg being towed around along with a feeder if it breaks above?

[@rotti163]

Can't you just fish the method on the pole? Killer tactic

[@connorscoarsefishingjourne7680]

Lesson on how to loose a rod 😂 I’ve caught carp within seconds of hitting the water. If it’s not hacking at you with wind fish the pole

[@jagsmith9565]

This is going to sound stupid to a lot of people,BUT, I’ve just purchased the x 50 pole, I’ve had a 20 year break and I’m really confused about the potting kit that comes with the pole, can anyone please help me, is it telescopic, tried that and failed, got a funny plastic thing hanging out of one end, please help

[@UKprestoninnovations]

It is telescopic. Simply pull the section out to the desired length.

[@jagsmith9565]

@@UKprestoninnovations Thank you, just done what you said and working a treat, thank you 🙏

[@johndunkley2524]

why not fish pole feeder.

[@paultownsley6606]

Why not attach a pole rig to a feeder rod , that'll mix things up even more 😊

[@ronpartington5040]

Hahaha

[@russ1540]

Pole fishing with a feeder is old method tbh

[@davechisholm6313]

OMG we are now not casting with the rod. Are not go the whole hog and use a bait boat.

[@ronpartington5040]

Great vid Andy but do y ever smile .?

[@UKprestoninnovations]

He certainly does!

[@darrenmilne9944]

These comments are comical , its ok saying its a waste of time or the pole would be better etc ...until you have fished lychgate or watched fin comfortably obliterate the lake doing this then you should probably keep the comments to yourself ...he gives away alot more tips than most on his videos

[@l3athalgaming210]

If they could only see the fin bagging up opposite or couple pegs down from you in a match, they would change their views, lol 😂

[@darrenmilne9944]

Or its people opinion?

[@darrenmilne9944]

​@@darrengallagher2098it is people's opinion, so before they comment why don't they go down to lychgate and take him on by using the pole instead

[@darrengallagher2098]

@@darrenmilne9944 bit of a narrow reach video then isnt it?

[@rogerholmes414]

Technically your using two rods so I imagine you can’t use this in a match. Fishing gone mad now it’s all about chasing the money and pushing the rules to the limit.

[@UKprestoninnovations]

The rules at the venue allow this.

[@andrewblake846]

There is a good reason this is banned from a lot of waters.

[@deanwinnard7774]

What's the good reason

People are winning doing it 😂

[@CiscoKid66]

It's not banned at any of the waters that I fish.

[@andrewblake846]

@@deanwinnard7774it's essentially using 2 rods at a time,so you're not in control of the feeder rod until the pole is down. . It's like feeder fishing and tgen6 spodding over the top with another rod.

[@deanwinnard7774]

​@@andrewblake846 that's a good point

[@paultownsley6606]

Just learn to cast accurately. Be it 7mts or 70mts 😊😊

[@UKprestoninnovations]

The fin is one of the best in the world at casting. But, due to the overhanging vegetation at this venue you cannot cast tight enough.

[@paultownsley6606]

@@UKprestoninnovationsI find that hard to belive if he can't flick a bomb or method feeder 10 mts accurately, what does he do for the long chuck use a bait boat ? 🤔

[@darrenmilne9944]

​@@paultownsley6606if you find it hard to believe either watch his other videos or come in the nisa open on Wednesdays at makins , preston have downplayed it by saying one of the best in the world , he is definitely the best . He could cast into a jam jar all day at 100 yards , not to mention the fact you don't ever hear his feeder go in .

[@colinhynard50]

Why!!??

Pointless the pole would outfish that method here 8:1 .. I don’t see the point 🤷🏼‍♂️
