Hi Den, this idea is becoming quite popular at the moment. I use Guru feeders and cut a slot along the tops to allow changing sizes without stripping down. The slot also allows the line to be held in place with a short length of sleeving over the hook length and the line is free to move through the sleeving. Works for me.

[@ralfmuentnich]

Your montages are getting more and more sophisticated.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Ralf. I'm trying to give my viewers the best filming angles I can possibly achieve. I'll replace the old GoPro camera with a newer version soon. That way, I can zoom in electronically a little more without everything becoming blurred.

[@simonheyes1662]

I think you have just improved the MAP idea that hasn't even hit the shops yet !! Love the thinking and thanks for sharing it 😊

[@FishingwithDen]

LOL. Thanks Simon. Now all you need is a 3D Printer and you can start selling mine.😁😁👍👍

[@baldrickscunningplan6154]

The Guru method feeders already have a clip that you can buy separately and clip them onto your feeders, but I think its great that you are able to come up with your own design and make your own method feeders. Top marks.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks mate. MAP also do a similar thing with their Embed Feeders, but neither of them allow the line to slide freely inside the clip like mine.

[@kevincurrington1331]

Well done DEN 👏 looks good to me

[@Offcut55]

Made 4 last night and had to wait for some elastic as I do not have a pole. They came out well and I inserted the elastic (came today) in the two clip holes played with some line and they worked very well indeed. Looking forward to getting them wet and fishing with them ASAP! (Weather/Health Permitting) Great Demo

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Phill. I hope they catch you plenty of fish mate.

[@maxamillion6726]

Another great video Den thank you. Can i ask what type of 3d printer you have & what materials i'd need for the feeders as i don't know much about them & would love a go.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Maxine. I use a Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo. Its easy to set up and easy to use. The filament is called PETG. I hope that helps.

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

I Think you should patented it before the big one's catch on, thank you for that,

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks James. it would have been nice if the Guru boys used it for their underwater video wouldn't it.😁👍

Nice vid den, just depressed me a bit😢, reminds me of the days that I loved messing on with ideas, hours spent, making floats etc, now, I work too many hours, wife, kids, grandkids 😂 this is deffinately a "them were the days" moments, top vid, well done.

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi Alan. Thanks mate. Eventually, you will have more time to do these things. That's what happened to me when I retired.

[@loursb]

Great demo ! Print a suction pump and carp fins and you are set for serial testing 😊. Definitely some manufacturer will copy the design.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Ovidiu. I did actually buy a large syringe which they use over here for BBQs, but it didn't do what I wanted. There's $10 I won't see again mate.😁

Good explanation Den of Dens feeders, now if you could do a vid on how do convert all our feeder’s please it would be helpful….now where’s my hacksaw 🤔

[@FishingwithDen]

Lol. Here's a copy of an answer I just gave to someone else below Geoff. "You need a 3D Printer. If you own one, or have access to one in your shopping centre, I can send you the file to print them".

[@richardwebb6045]

Great Idea, similar to the new Map feeder except your hooklength slides. With this being like a semi fixed rig, would this be banned on a venue that only allows free running rigs?

[@FishingwithDen]

That's an interesting point Richard and it did occur to me too. It may be that some venues do ban it, but then they would have to ban the new MAP Embed feeder and any other variations too.

[@mikedarby4872]

Hi Den, I recon it will not be long before we see the manufacturers copy your idea... it is a fantastic idea, you should have patented the method feeder line clip, you would have made a few quid, bet we see these this year in the UK. Good thinking Den, thanks for the video.

[@FishingwithDen]

I wouldn't be surprised Mike. Thanks for your comments mate.

[@deadpolygames5377]

they are already out MAP make them everybody is jumping on the band waggon on copying them watched a vid the other week and someone was doing something simular to a preston feeder

[@FishingwithDen]

@@deadpolygames5377 There are a number of variations on this out there, but as far as I am aware, they all tether the bait at a fixed length, for example 2". My design allows for the free travel of the bait to the fullest extent of the hooklength.

[@andrewsmith6275]

Hi Den, I’m looking at buying the Guru hybrid feeders and was wondering if it’s possible to fix a sliding bait clip to them? Also if you think it’s possible could you possibly advise as to how this can be done. Cheers in advance. Andy.

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi Andrew. Unfortunately, I think it might be difficult to retrofit my sliding bait clip to existing feeders.

[@andrewsmith6275]

@@FishingwithDen thanks for the quick reply Den. I thought that might be the case but thought it worth asking. Unfortunately I don’t have a three D printer and certainly wouldn’t have any idea how to use the thing😂😂😂😂. Keep up the great work. Cheers Andy.

[@colinhope]

Den, The Guru underwater film showed that the 2" hook length didn't work as you predicted. Also wafter rather than pop up was used. The film showed that with stony bottom the feeder could be at an angle and the hookbait fell to one side; your clip would prevent this. Off to the Patent shop for you now!

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi Colin. Yes, I noticed that too. I'm looking forward to their next video mate.

2" hook length works for me.

[@neilmerrick8533]

That's a great improvement mate and if you want pop ups get yourself a bag of cork dust and make a one egg mix by adding 2-3mm of fish oil and if you can get it a couple of drops of n-butyric acid (it's a feed inducer) and flavour of your choice (but always add a drop or two more as you'll be amazed how much you'll lose while cooking) to the egg and mix then get a few handfuls of your favoured dry ground bait mix and add what you think is enough of the cork dust to ground bait and add it slowly to the egg till you form a firm ish paste then brake a bit off roll between your palms and drop it in some water and see how it dose as you can always roll it out flats and sprinkle more cork dust and give it a good need in by hand and try again and when you've got it how you want it bring a saucepan of water to the boil then down to a rolling boil and Cook the Boilies for about 30-40 seconds if there under 10mm and about a minute and half for 10-15mm or till you think there the right texture when squeezed between the fingers

[@peckis2]

I have adapted a normal feeder so thet the line comes out of the stem inside the feederand then attached a small split shot onto the hook length so that i can make the bait stick out of the stem to whatever length i require.

[@FishingwithDen]

My first thought was for a similar idea Gerald, but I was concerned that a shorter fixed hooklength would result in less bites.

[@peckis2]

@@FishingwithDen I am able to shorten and lengthen the hooklength by adjusting the lead shot.

[@FishingwithDen]

@@peckis2 That's right Gerald. I'm sure it works, but its still going to be fixed at the length you set it to. This one allows for the full travel to the length of the tether (hooklength).

Nice one Den spot on mate K/r Mr. D

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Mr D.👍👍

[@philnotley5138]

Some interesting points here but we cannot use your adapted home printed feeder! It would be useful to see how exactly you installed the bait clip in order we can adapt a commercial one ?

[@FishingwithDen]

The clip is simply two small lengths of Matrix Slik elastic side by side Phil. I think it would be difficult to adapt a commercial feeder to accept what I have done. If you have access to friend with a 3D Printer, I am happy to send you the file and they can print some off for you.

Yes they can do all that plus you can change from a hybrid to method feeder to a bomb with out takeing the stem of the company Map.
