Method Feeder...The BANNED tactic that makes feeder fishing easy !!! Method feeder in the margins.

[@derekjones8585]

I spend all day on a lake in all weathers to catch fish, it doesn’t matter what method I use as long as it’s safely done and no harm comes to the fish. I think this looks great and will certainly give it a go next time I’m out. Thanks for the great video. Subscribed.

[@oldbloke135]

I have no objection to banning methods that are dangerous to the fish but this is no worse than normal method feeder use. I think the reason it's probably banned is because you can do it just as well with a £200 pole as with a four grand one. A lot of people have a vested interest in not allowing that!

[@drumbatter100]

I have used this method for over 15 years on the Hampshire Avon. It’s great for targeting Chub and Barbel that like over hanging brambles and bushes.

[@letsgonow5641]

Thank goodness we dont have to do all this to catch them here at least yet. I an sometimes a fellow fisherman will usually have the 100 acre river to ourselves.

[@robshaw3655]

found a use for my pole. Another banned tactic using a super soaker water pistol to squirt water around baited area to attract fish in

Hi Rob could you tell me the make and model of the rod your using in this clip please. Thanks Chris

[@nitenurse48]

I remember a match angler (I wont mention his name) using this method 20yrs ago at Cross Drove Fishery (Hockwold) and winning match after match until it was banned. Good method if pleasure fishing though.

Your lucky you've got fisheries than ban it ,up here in Scotland we've got f&*%k all ,unless you like little trout ,

Great tactic bud, I’m going to have a go with my little 8ft rod but I favour my little 2500 Shimano baitrunner 👍🏽

Its not banned where i fish but to honest i don't really use one,that said i used methods and the elasticated version and had many fish on them its just nowadays i enjoy other ways of catching fish

[@stevehigginson8220]

Catching pellet bred carp without even casting. Using loads of kit. Perfect, internet friendly stuff. Lots of kit references for catching anglers! Not for me this, Rob. Thanks anyway. Maybe wilder venues and catching some difficult fish for a future vid. Best of luck & tight lines.

[@leftmono1016]

I love this type of stocked fishery, keeps people off the rivers 👍

If all fishing was difficult no kids would want to take it up as a hobby. Fishing would die as all the miserable old buggers died with it.

@Dean Bayliss FISHING TV Hi Dean. I wasn’t being negative or disrespectful, I was giving my opinion on content. As creators, having viewers feedback on what they like to watch, or occasionally not, is helpful in terms of choosing what to make future vids about. I didn’t say Rob doesn’t make great videos. I said this video wasn’t for me. Politely.

Never heard of this being banned anywhere ever in over 25 years of fishing? Not been in the rules of any fishery, match, venue I've ever fished 🤔

[@robintaylor7374]

technically using 2 rods at oncew (even though youre not fishing with 2) - ive fished waters that ban this)

[@RichardDommett]

how do you know if the feeder is the right way up ?

[@glenysellen7344]

Yes I was thinking the same thing and would be interested to know.

[@danielcopson7933]

The heaviest part of the feeder is the bottom (where the weight is built into it) so it’s bound to land the right way

[@RobWootton]

That’s the reason I try to keep a bit of tension on the line so it falls slowly. I also like a lead/plastic combo method for shallow water work as they right themselves slightly quicker

[@stevenflint5271]

btw tackle shops prob wish not banned if not 100% knowing how to do it , your be buying a new rod and reel every week 🤣

[@paulsugarman9753]

Rob , why would it be banned as a tactic ? You're not disturbing anyone else like you do by launching a method feeder or by standing on your seatbox mugging - can't see a reason myself.

Using two rods at the same time is banned in most matches

Been fishing like that for years,,also you said it's banned 🚫 on that lake,so why are you using it,did you get special permission 🤔

Brilliant Clive, it’s banned in all serious matches... due to Angling Trust rules stating only one rod can be used....... pleasure fishing is obviously different

So it’s ok for carp anglers to use radio control boats etc, but not this approach ………

[@stevenowen9279]

Is this a tactic for last two hours of a match ?

[@barbaraneville5036]

In a Match you are only allowed a single rod or a single pole in use as soon as you use the pole to put the feeder in the correct spot it is using two fishing items (rod plus Pole )

These fisheries are the only thing keeping kids fishing and the future of fishing safe. Most rivers, canals and reservoirs are private now, and if you did get out on one you wouldn't have half as much fun as you would on these well managed places. Cafes, toilets, safe environment, plenty of fish. You should be grateful of them for keeping fishing alive.

Look at the state of those fish mouths. Great "tactics" mate but you could catch there with a piece of string and a bent paperclip. This isn't fishing, this is industrial scale animal abuse. This is playing the game with the cheat codes on. Get out on a river and catch fish properly.

[@baldrickscunningplan6154]

@@jamsams Who the feck are you? The comment Police? Not everyone can afford a Pole that can be fished at 16 metres plus. Lots of anglers cannot reach productive areas of their swim because their wallet isn't fat enough. Have you ever tried to fish a heavy Pole at full length for 5 hours? It is not easy, and most won't even try. So any method that allows them to fish more productive areas of their swim with cheaper gear, such as under Trees or amongst snags is a big help. Levelling up an anglers chances against the guys with all the gear is a good thing. Too many anglers have an advantage because they can afford to outspend their rivals. Try engaging your Brain first.
