I caught so many fish using this Method

[@andycowdery9412]

Thank you Greame for featuring my floats again. 🎣 What an amazing session!!🎣 Black Bottom Floats. 🥰

[@mickypful]

Thanks Graham, love these ' winter warmers ' during this dull old time .

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Thanks Graeme fishing along with some old schools tractors what's not to like. Born in 1951 and also went to a Sec Mod school. We were considered to be factory fodder but you prove that many of us were more skilful than we were considered to have been. My metal work teacher was a tyrant who we were all afraid of. Some years later attending evening classes at my previous school I would see him and he was the smallest of men ever. Pretty sure I would of achieved more from his lessons if he had been kinder.

Another Totally Awesome video Graeme!

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Love the fishing but love the historic machinery thank you Graeme

[@petertallowin6406]

Excellent footage GP! That was a pleasure to watch, thank you.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

1:47 - The *"rubber sleeve"* was supposed to work in tandem with some anti-tangle tubing that was there to prevent things tangling up when you were casting.... However there are weighted tubing also exists that further helps pin the line down behind the feeder when its been cast out and come to rest on the bottom. I used to use it on my method feeder a long while back.

[@chrisbree3467]

Mesmerising Graeme, those guys & gals who preserve all this stuff are a credit. Without their enthusiasm & expertise these reminders of our old way of life would be lost.

[@TAFishing]

Exactly,I feel if I don't record it,that particular piece of engineering might never be seen again.

[@digofthedump]

1st fish i caught in local pond was a stickle back using discarded line with hook used a matchstick as float and worm from under stone and a stick for rod. you guys make catching seem like fishing )) gl

[@bobarty]

Graeme your the same vintage as me also did metalwork at Secondary School remember forging pokers and making things like Tea Caddy Spoons out of Brass planished before polishing,also know a bit about farming methods being the son of one the straw came out of the Combiner loose and was baled after or back in the day burnt in the fields as it stood remember it from my time spent in Wiltshire and your neck of the woods,I did have an Uncle who was a Stud hand for the famous McAlpines near Henley all there harvest had to be cut using the very old fashioned Binders because they wanted long Straw for Bedding the Horses

[@albiewilliams6830]

Nice little session for you there and the reason for the little rubber bit on the feeder is so the line isn't rubbing against the edge of the plastic tube when casting or playing fish

[@rebekahleech5354]

Love this show graham you do make me laugh but grate vids all the time keep up the good vid plus love ya outdoors as well 👍

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching these mix ones cheers Mr pullen

[@LONEWOLFHMS]

Hi fella, rubber sleeves are to lesson line abrassion wether to help the line for free running against the weight in an unsnagged situation or in snags or a bit of silt, simple but very effective. 👍👍👍✌🤘

[@marcinstangel9277]

The sleeve is for match fishing. Match anglers often use an elasticated bit that goes inside the feeder, and it has a little hook at the end, where you attach the line, and the sleeve goes over it. And then while they wait for a bite, they prepare additional feeders, and when they are ready to cast out, they just swap the feeder, to lower the downtime and maximise their chances of winning :) I think Steve Ringer had a video explaining how that works exactly.

[@cliveeariss880]

Hello Graeme, great video, loads of fun and ...fish forgot what they look like lol, was going on the mole for some Chub, but oh no loads of rain and the mole is in the fields, so at the moment, not going to happen, all the best mate, keep up the great work.

[@TAFishing]

Weather is dire at the moment, I think the rivers will be out for a while.

[@LONEWOLFHMS]

Loved this video ... many thanks. 👍👍👍✌🤘

[@Walsallgrower]

Over 100lb of fish in a few hours Graeme, that's a good day in any bodies book buddy,and what a stonking Roach to finish off. 👍

[@adamkerr4600]

Great video Graham the combine harvester song was the worsels tight line 🎣🎣🎣🍺🍺🍺

[@andylloyd6301]

The top of the method feeder has a slit down the back where you push the line though, the tail rubber keeps the line coming out the top straight and helps pin the line down abit and helps with casting. And yes that is a quick change snap swivel, tie hooklengths with loops in the ends help with quick changing rigs. Helpful tip when method feeding you want a very slack tip only the smallest bend in the tip, it stops having a bow sting tight line down to the method feeder. I use the method feeder alot in my big carp fishing and have carp rods on alarms, biggest carp on a method feeder is a 23lb 7oz out of my local gravel pit, I don't like tieing soild bags so use the method with soaked 2mm pellets same approach as the soild bag just quicker.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for the tips,they all add up and can help others.

[@nomad_miffy]

Regarding the lister d engine with Sheering attachments, the belt is twisted to change direction to turn the pulleys on the sheering heads. There is a correct direction for the operation .

[@nomad_miffy]

Also bales do not come out of the combine, just straw comes out in rows from the discharge chute. Then after a tractor towing a bailer which makes your bales. Nice seeing this old machinery.

[@stewartmercer19]

Pretty sure the balls and hook contraption is an apprentice piece. Where upon budding carpenters would show their skills off in making a piece of which is quite difficult to create. Going back to the Lister Engine with a crossed pulley. It was simply to keep them on the main bearing and to provide a bit more tightness, as belts stretch and slip with time and wear. They also do the same on dry/fly wheels on the tractors.

[@TAFishing]

Interesting,thanks for the comment.

[@allanriches9381]

very interesting film.

[@jonathanluce9130]

For a drennan method feeder the hooklink should attach to a small plastic fitting that creates a bolt rig. It's a small barrel shape with a sleeve.

[@borderlands6606]

You can see why pellet waggler fishing is so popular. The rods are also good for perch and tench fishing on the float.

[@justnicky17]

Love your channel! I couldn't really hear what the guy was saying while he was carving the wood lol

[@paulAnthony7236]

Seems to be a bit greenery coming on the bushes and trees i noticed,nice to see new growth and the fishing ain't bad either 👍.

[@TheGozman100]

Really love your videos as always. Are you going to do anymore catch cooks like you use too?

[@TAFishing]

Very possibly,might even be some left in the files I haven't used yet.

[@rogerburford4291]

Yes you should have a loop on your hook link for quick change.🤪🤪

[@alanriley9925]

Hi Graham 27 minutes in it looks like a nice Rudd

[@LONEWOLFHMS]

Should bought a few of those rounds for your lad fella, bullet named engraved key rings and shell casing ferro rods, could have knocked a up load in a jiffy and sold them. 👍👍👍✌🤘

[@chrisbartelt8171]

Could that big roach could have been a hybrid?

[@TAFishing]

It did look a bit weird...

[@Lastpost9]

That winds annoying, shouldn't have had beans for brekky. Nice video. ❤

[@LONEWOLFHMS]

If you want your pellets to sink quicker in deep water toss them in some oil, i like to keep the sunflower oil out of my tins of tuna that theni put in my sarnies, good pinch of salt never hurts either. All the best fella 👍👍👍✌🤘

[@LONEWOLFHMS]

I gotta a brand new combined harvester and i'll give you the key .... its fantastic The Worzels fella. 🤣🤣🤣👍✌🤘🤘

[@TAFishing]

That was it..the Wurzels..I just couldn't remember the name.

[@abhaykedare7146]

Hello Sir, I have been watching your videos for a while now, and in the last 2 years, used so many different types of baits and lures that anyone can imagine. Around about you can say 200 different types of baits and lures I have tried. The only thing that works in any condition is a spoon lure. I do not know if you have used it. If you have not, please give it a try.

[@freechordsthetruthmarceden8277]

Thanks G! Don't you to retiring into 'Totally Random' just yet - maybe an A.I. robo-clone version of GP - say age 34 permanently!?!? 😀 Not a moan, but...The difference between the stock at, say, Old Bury Hill, and here? Parrot mouths on these carp. What are they using? A boat rod, and size 2 barbed! Such a shame for a nice fishery...what's OBH's secret? Shall be missed...Muchos grazias amigo! 😎

[@mrskint55]

I believe the gadget with the balls in is a massager.

[@TAFishing]

But where does the hook go ???

[@markward8216]

If you cross the belt it reverse the rotation of drive

[@davemat8853]

Combine chuck's straw out loose baled later

[@newsmonger77]

So many times I've found that some carp under 10 lb fight much better and harder than carp over 20 lb and up. I'm happy to catch smaller carp all day than spend all night to catch one pot bellied overfed carp that comes in like a wet sack. Big weights are not important to me at all!

[@williamavery9185]

Have you not thought o expanding your fishing again. Not marlin etc. Salmon and sea trout near your home. Wales. Great fishing for both in daytime. The Towy has great day and week permits on various stretches. Fly,Spin, worm, prawn. Camping by the river if you prefer. No need for BnB !

[@TAFishing]

Sounds good for the summer,especially no B&B expences.

[@fisherman5517]

its something else to spend your money on ,not needed but there anyway.

[@GMT439]

How the hell does the Bream have spawning tubercles on it's head in February??!

[@stewartmk7]

Because the weather has been so bad, and as he hasn't been fishing much, Graeme has been putting up old films.

[@GMT439]

@@stewartmk7 That explains it then.... Phew, I thought something weird going on.

[@TAFishing]

Green leaves starting on the trees might help,plus I mentioned Spring.....I hope it comes soon, I'mfed up with all the cloud and rain.

​@@TAFishingit's awful miserable weather same here in Ireland raining and cloudy all the time and occasional winds.

[@mikerandall7571]

Why is your landing net never in the right place when you hook a fish, I suppose it's your little excentricity.

[@stevewright201]

Its a band saw

[@Lastpost9]

Those rounds of ammunition were 7.62mm , used in the Royal Enfield SLR and the General Perpose Machine Gun.

[@DepakoteMeister]

7.62mm is a rimless cartridge. They were .303 British rounds as used in the Enfield rifles, the Bren gun, and the Colt-Browning machine gun used in fighters like the Spitfire.

[@Lastpost9]

@@DepakoteMeister I stand corrected, should have looked more closely.

[@jamesrussel1133]

Or you can use those new fangled things called rod pods, even heaven forbid stage stands. No Graham not something to put a microphone on, they screw in to the platform. Life must be so hard when you have just woken from the Stone Age…only joking….or am I? Lol😂 What’s up with your right eye Graham, looks pretty red, hope you are OK.

[@TAFishing]

There is a name for it but the optician said I would not be likely to get anything from the NHS as eyes are OK and they would say its cosmetic surgery. . Its just like a collapsed lower eyelid , Had it couple of years ,I'll just live with it,unless my eyeball drops out then I'll be stuffed. Its bound to bounce off the ground and go into a tub of maggots !!!

[@jamesrussel1133]

@@TAFishing Ha ha Graham, as long as it’s not giving you Jip. Love the way you don’t take yourself too seriously and for being the peoples champion of showing how it can be done on a budget without falling for the tackle trade brainwashing of the latest “must have gadget”. Salvaging that skip rod, what a joy every fish you catch on it, it still does the job perfectly well. From someone who built his own carp rods because there weren’t any to buy back in the day I still love to repair, make do and mend. One of my favourite float roads is a 6 piece 12 foot travel rod, I made into a 7 piece through an accident with the car boot. It was a cheap and cheerful £15 job from Roger Surgeys Dragon Carp before he sold up, imported direct from China. Most would have thrown it. Instead I slid a pole section inside the break, Aradited and whipped over the repair. The action is pretty much unaffected, it’s a tad heavier, so what, most don’t notice it’s been repaired until I point it out. But the joy of catching on a broken rod most others would have thrown away, carp to upper doubles on it, and when it does let go I will have umpteen bits from it, eyes, lengths of blank to repair a multitude of others no doubt. So keep doing it your way Graham, stay unique. If it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it….is often said. You take it further because when it is broke why the hell not repair it yourself using a few rod building skills.
