Great vid. Supports what Jamie Hughes says in his method feeder master class. He says he's caught with un-baited hook inside. Tried this last weekend with 2" length & 4mm pellet on my local based on that & definitely got much improved hooking rate once fish had found feeder. When feeding was strong tried bait out of feeder with 2" & hooking dropped off immediately, then back to on top & got better, and at bottom was back to best.

[@adrianryan602]

Excellent vid. Been doing this for a while with Drennan method feeders and it definitely does work, although my friends don't agree, which is why I catch more! Keep up the good work, but change the mug.

[@user-hl6th7ev9w]

I have been fishing for 40 years but only started method feeder fishing this year. I am really surprised that most people don't know this method for loading method feeders. I have been doing this straight off the bat. Was just common sense to me, and hook up rates are high. Good video all the same.

[@dalesmoocher6861]

IF it was 'common sense' EVERYONE would do it that way and no need for this video!

[@user-hl6th7ev9w]

@@dalesmoocher6861 Maybe the fact that I've been fishing for 40years+ has given me more common sense than your average fisherman .

[@dalesmoocher6861]

you don't understand what common sense means!!! That's how much common sense you have HAHA @@user-hl6th7ev9w

[@michaelsealey9487]

Wow ,watched this last week and tried it all out yesterday. The difference when loading the Feeder as Joe illustrated is unbelievable. Never missed a bite all day and this NEVER happens to me. Thanks young man keep up the fantastic job you are doing ,Cheers.

[@paulhuddlestone8378]

I tried this for the first time yesterday Joe. It works a treat, my catch rate has instantly improved. I didn't miss a bite, or lose any fish all afternoon. Infact bites were unmissable, (and I had a lot of them) wrenching the tip around, and every fish of my superb mixed bag was hooked in the bottom lip. Never again will I revert back to the old way, of putting the baited hook into the mould first, so the hook bait can be seen. This way has revolutionised my method/hybrid fishing. The trouble is, I'm keeping this a secret, I want to keep this trick to gain an edge.

[@paulhuddlestone8378]

Tried it, now i would never go back to how i loaded a feeder before. The results were savage bites, every time, and hooked in the bottom lip. Unbelievable the difference this one little tweak has made to my catch rate. The secrets out.

[@andyphelpsfishingvlog9681]

It kinda makes sense, a few years ago, before we started using moulds, I put the hook in first, then piled on the pellets or groundbait. Then when moulds came out, I think a lot of people forgot that it is reveresed lol Great video

[@timwise4198]

Thank Joe I've been loading my feeders like you shown in the 1st video but from now on im going to convert to loading them the "proper way" many thanks a great insight on feeder fishing 👍

[@metamera]

Great and interesting video. I do some underwater filming myself and it helps me understand a few things about what's going on beneath the surface, but it also raises some new questions. Nice to see someone else doing the same thing. Keep up the good work.

[@Daytona955™]

Great video thank you can't wait to try this. I feel I've been taught a fishing technique by Guy Martin 😉

[@MatchFishingFilms]

:)

[@markrayton6385]

Lol I thought it was Guy Martin too at first.

[@jedinuttall]

Most informative video I've ever seen about any kind of fishing. Just getting back into it after a number of years. Caught a sturgeon on method feeder yesterday at Whitmore in Kirkham. Might have to try the banjo feeder

[@1313Malaki]

A great video thank you. I have not tried method feeding yet in my 6 months or so fishing experience. I went to the tackle shop yesterday and purchased two feeders and some long life sticky pellets for a session at one of my local fisheries today. I have 3 rods set up and use one at a time, the first one had maggots on. I never got any bites on at all so I switched to another rod where I could use either bread or worms, i tried it with bread at first and still no bites. I then banded a lob worm on and caught two decent sized carp then nothing at all. I got the rod with the banjo xr on and cast it only a short distance then sat down and waited in anticipation. I did not have to wait long before it struck off across the lake. I caught my first carp on a banjo. Then it was none stop for an hour or so each time hooking a fish. I did loose a few which is probably due to my inexperience with carp but nevertheless had a great day fishing on a cold windy day late in October which I put down to this great video.

[@simonmoorcroft1417]

Love fishing the method. Thanks for the tip. Of course you could increase your chance of hooking up more. You've got two routes. Maybe Preston could help us all out. I think you could get a artificial bait manufacturer (like Enterprise) to produce a neutrally buoyant or wafter type plastic bait that looks like a clump of 4mm or micro pellets, or get someone like Sonubaits to make a hookbait that looks like a little clump of micros. That way even it does slide off of the feeder it still "matches the hatch".

[@adamfooks7248]

This has been a very refreshing watch! I’ve said for years that when fishing a feeder fancy hookbaits are completely irrelevant and if I’m using pellet in the feeder, I use a pellet on the hook…..granted it usually has to be a 6mm cus a 2mm is kinda difficult to lassoo 😂 But, as you’ve said and found, the fish are coming for the pellet, not for a single, fancy coloured or flavoured hook bait that costs 10x more than your standard pellet. In fairness I’ve usually placed my hook bait mid way in the feeder, and had excellent success (but bear in mind that’s a pellet on my hook, not something different, so even if it did slip occasionally off to the side by an inch, the fish were still seeking it because it’s a pellet!) Having watched this tho I’m def gunna give it a go loading the hook bait even lower and in the base of the feeder. Great video to watch, well worth the effort you put in to create it for your own benefit and everyone else’s! 👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@iantomlinson4064]

Great info on the new feeders and how to load them, pity about the mug !!!!!!....thats the one with tea in it !

[@MatchFishingFilms]

😅

[@peterwilcox7188]

Hello Joe,, great vid,,one of the easiest but most informative I've watched for a while,,cheers,

[@MatchFishingFilms]

😄

[@SMOKINSHOOZ60]

Great system. As an out and out Pike angler, I thought I would take on some of my match angler colleagues who say I have not got the finesse to catch anything without teeth!! The match men turned up with more tackle than Angling Direct and Fishing Republic put together - pole, rods, barrows brollies, I used one rod - Shakespeare BORON 13' match rod, 6llb line , with a size 16 banded 3" hook length which landed me a 15llb carp and loads of bream and skimmers. Not bad for an old country boy.

[@tonylocke3010]

Nice video but... saw another carp video taken underwater where the results were markedly different...a) 2" hooklengths did not work well and b) carp were targeting the hookbait rather than the pellets. Having said that, it gives me another change I can make when things aren't working as I would like and thus adds another string to the old bow!

[@MatchFishingFilms]

These are very old carp that have been fished for a lot. On the other video they were new fish which may explain their preference for bright shiny things 🤣

[@markrayton6385]

Fantastic. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing Jo.

[@harleeb9061]

Ive always done it with the hookbait at the bottom of the feeder. Nice to see it works

[@stephenbassett4317]

Brilliant vid for someone like me whose been away from fishing for some years due to work demands. How things have changed. Thank you, oh, and keep the mug. 👍

[@JeffOrtega33]

Class video Joe every day's a school day. Eye opener thanks for sharing. Great mug too. Thanks for sharing 🌟🌟🌟

[@MatchFishingFilms]

👍

[@oldbloke135]

The first video of the carp emptying your feeder and ignoring every other bait in the area is amazing. It's not just it wasn't scared of the feeder, it was actually looking for the feeder! Maybe feeders need to be white, day glo orange, or have a flashing led!

[@timduckworth1008]

Great video Joe just amazing to see what actually happens in the water, great advice.

[@steveames8286]

Tommy also recommended all bottom holes to be filled in as the original banjos were solid with plastic sides, a must on deep venues.

[@richardbarrett7544]

Joe, I'd also suggest that a wafter is not what you want, but a heavy bottom bait. A wafter would drift to the side as you pointed out buddy.

[@stewmercer800]

A wafter would make the pellets explode more from the feeder... leaving your hook length a more probable chance of being nowhere near the feeder. In my opinion.

[@pja8773]

I have been loading my feeder this way for a while, I am glad your video has shown what happens with the different loading methods. Thank you.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Glad it helped

[@paulhughes6911]

Brilliant thanks mate

[@jt6192]

Brilliant Joe mate! Thanks

[@arturoborski5909]

Just started to buy fishing gear at 74. Watching loads of video's. Most interesting and sensible. Many thanks for this video. ... by-the-way, hyperbole ... is pronounced, 'hi-per-bow-ley ... not, hi-per-bowl... :) Hope that information helps too... :)... Great work here... more please... :)

[@lukaszczegotutaj]

Very interesting. Now the question is, why would you like to use a contrasting hook bait (color, presentation, smell and taste) if the fish is interested in the pellet in the first place. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the same kind of pellet (bigger?) as the hook bait?

[@jeffm9326]

Absolutely right. The carp are after the pellets so give them what they want. If I'm using 2 mm pellets a 6mm goes in the band. There's very little diference between the two so the hook pellet gets sucked up with the rest. I use the cheapest pellets as well, why use branded ones, the fish are happy with the cheap ones.

[@neilgraves5069]

Wafters and fancy colours hook baits on methods are not as good as we have lead to believe. Many Thanks for sharing Joe 👍

[@QueensDiscoPants]

Brilliant thanks so much for the tip , it makes more sense and i will try it when im next at the venue 😊

[@jasonodoherty4987]

Hi everyone hi jo ive done this way for years I use it on my hybrid feeder never did any otherway great video my best feeder is the hybrid feeder and I use a size 10 or 12 hook and a 4 inch hook link the lardger hooks keeps your hook bait in the center stay well stay safe tight lines.

[@sutty1963]

this as just blown me away ,,, i always but the hook in first and keep getter what i thought was line bites ,,,,got to try the other way next time now ,,,cant believe the hook bait rolls away and the fish just slurps the ground bait pellets and yea hook bates no were near the feeder lol

[@stephentighe6771]

Thanks I have been doing it the other way for a few hrs thinking it was the right way but your footage as changed my mind and I will certainly be trying it your way, I always use the Preston's banjo feeder so this was of particular interest to me thanks. Years not hours.

[@stephenpyner4156]

Nice one joe, your video has gone i bit more into debth than others i have seen before and explains why it should be done one way over the other, it would be interesting to see more like this on other methods

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davidbailey6778]

if this footage is correct why do we need all the different colours and flavours of bait?

[@MatchFishingFilms]

The only thing this shows is they like those pink krill pellets!

[@MatchFishingFilms]

But I deffo agree 👍

[@apassionfortangling3671]

For the method you don't. After working in a tackle trade. It wasn't long before I realised that 90% of tackle and bait is designed to catch anglers not fish 😉

[@stotty6800]

If a fish takes your bait with the feed that’s brilliant but if the bait falls to the side there could be an advantage in colour or flavour.

[@trevoror8668]

To catch anglers

[@raimonds.L]

That's amazing. I'd love to see popups and wafters under water!

[@anthonyhamblin6294]

that is awsome to watch makes you think how long have we all been doing it the wrong way

[@bryanmchugh6106]

Used this method for quite some time but found that the hook bait would sometimes get jammed in the vanes of the feeder and would still be there when I reeled in

[@fabiankoch389]

Genius!thanks for making this underwater footage......

[@jasonodoherty6452]

Hi everyone ive used this method for over 5 years with the Guru Hybrid feeder 2mm pellets put pellets in the mould first not to dry not to wet press feeder into the mould as hard or as soft as you want for a perfect presentation great video stay well stay safe tight lines.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

yes. several of the pots do a white one. Krill & Squid is my favourite

[@jonunderwood7059]

This is a really helpful video. I have found the mega method rigs at size 10 seem to be good at keeping a 10mm wafter in place. I tested in a bait bucket and a lot of lighter rigs "waft out" the pile unless you use this method.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Glad it helped!

[@mickbrooks8114]

Tommy was spot on all those years ago

[@gregmercer276]

Thanks Joe got out first time today and 1st fish of the year a lovely 7lb common... I only caught but I only managed a 2hrs session and my favourite pegs were taken...

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Nice work!

[@marcelvalega9937]

Thank you! Now that Im thinking why we dont weight ongoing floats???? Just put weight on them.. I always put the split just under the float So the rest of the line is more natural move and if its ongoing float there is no chance its tangle with weight on it..

[@eddiebrockbank6517]

Thx Joe, as always well explained, keep um coming. 👍

[@davidhodgson1385]

Great video joe , also I think Waffters make the wafte away from your freebies 👍

[@brianpeck3716]

Have been using the guru x feeder with the line clip to adjust the length of the hook link bagging up

[@rayevans100]

Great video ,explains why I always caught more fish when I loaded the feeder by hand because I would grab a handful of groundwater then push the hoobait in put the feeder on top which meant my hookbait was on the bottom as in your video

[@thepikeangler2022]

Never fished with these feeders. When you use the mould you are loading in reverse (what's on the bottom becomes on the top. Is there any reason you couldn't put the hook bait on the feeder the just press the pellets on that?

[@trickytrees79]

Great video, after watching the guru underwater it makes sense when they used a yellow or natural hook bait. But with the pink and orange they went straight for the hook bait.. obvs its different per lake and time of year. But fish it like that with a pink should be devastating..

[@MatchFishingFilms]

They were unfished for fish too don't forget so may behave differently to the fish in my vid that are ancient carp

[@tonymoore9767]

Good tip thanks will try next time out

[@tonydowling247]

Hi Joe fantastic video and really helpful and shows how the feeder and bait work. As well as how the carp react is priceless. Just noticed that you have 5 thumbs down as I leave this message. What is wrong with these people? Keep up the good work pal.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Well you can't please everyone 👍

[@philnotley5138]

I used to load banjos this way having watched tommys videos but gradually moved away from it having watched other experts do it differently I put the gradual drop off in bite conversation to the fish wising up ! Back to being a true believer well done joe

[@raygrange7312]

Good job.

[@PhilipRoyds-ql7pt]

Brilliant cheers

[@adamt2008]

Gotta try this

[@gregmercer276]

i had 1 of the old banjo feeders it was always sat in box only ever used it once or twice. i was updating all tackle watched this vidieo bought 1 to try now i have 3 in every size and mould...

[@bradleycalver1805]

Very interesting, nature is hard to beat! Makes sense why Findlay uses expanders as his feeder hook bait of choice.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Absolutely does

[@Poppaai]

Great video mate! But one thing you should mention is, in what kind of conditioning are your micros? Damp micros who are more spongy have the tendencie to sit longer in the mold Harder micros with less water in them will fall off much quicker so What kind pellets were used in this video? Cheers

[@robintaylor7374]

Great vid. I've always wanted to fish banjo/hybrid feeder but it was banned at my local venue... Until today! Can't wait to try it out. Cheers

[@stevemccann4166]

My only trouble with this is using maggots as they can disrupt the pellets and can cause pellets to fall out of feeder. Second, does using a wafter make any difference as that too will be away from the feeder and feeder pellets by 3”

[@FishingwithDen]

Great video Joe. This new way of loading the hookbait is so obvious when you see the video footage, but as you say the old way of doing it would appear to be correct if you hadn't.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

[@jaroslavsimon8100]

Maaaaan .... 2 years of method fishing but this is like a new birth :D Thank you

[@hopingowen]

Great video Joe, and thanks for sharing your findings. I might be wrong but after the 'guru' underwater films. the Carp dont seem to go solely for the 'hook baits' they get hooked because the bait/hook is amongst the pellets or there abouts. So would it be better to 'match the hatch' and put a pellet on the hook. So is it worth it trying so many different colored hook baits and flavourings ?🤔

[@MatchFishingFilms]

I do think a pellet is the best hook bait.

[@timwise4198]

I fished a few hours with pellet as the hook bait on the feeder I was getting knocks but no takes I then changed to hemp mainline response 8mm boilies and had a take almost right away it just depends on the day I guess

[@visfanaat8188]

I am not sure if its wrong. But you feeded also a lot of other food besides the feeder. I think that is not the idea of the method feeder. Just only use the feeder. But sometimes i also throw extra bait haha. But now the thing..... the fish totally ignored all the extra bait. They just go straight to the feeder as if the other bait is not even there. Thats the biggest shock for me this video.

[@MatchFishingFilms]

Ah well the environment was such (a camera in the swim, me wading in and out etc) that they needed extra encouragement to come into the clear water. Throwing a few hard pellets in drew the fish. They definitely loved the noise but preferred the micro pellets!

[@FuzzyFrogAmarantha]

LoL.. just started with the method feeder again, and it seems i've done it the right way by accident all along :D I always loaded up and put the bait on top, than pushed the feeder on top.
