Your videos have helped me tremendously, Den. Just a little something to say thanks.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks very much Adam. This is really kind of you mate. I'm glad I could help you with my videos.

[@carpfishingcolorado]

Method feeder fishing is my favorite. I like your take on the clip. I use Spotted Fin sticky gels to the same effect to keep the bait inside.

[@FishingwithDen]

Wow. That's very generous of you Christopher. Thank you for both the kind comments and the donation mate.

[@alexkemmeren3129]

Nicely done Den. Could you please do a tankttest with these.

[@FishingwithDen]

Watch this weeks video Alex. I did it to answer your request. I hope it helps.😁👍

[@LoursA]

Thanks

[@FishingwithDen]

Many thanks. Your donation is much appreciated.😁

Another great unbiased review Den. Top guy! and modest with it.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Neil.

[@peterream9437]

If you were Andy Findleys neighbour Den, what a team you'd make...I wish I could master tinkercad like you have done.🎉 What a day's fishing, great fun with diy stuff.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Peter. I don't think I'm in the same league as Andy mate. He always seemed to beat me when we fished matches together. If you want the .stl file for these feeders, just let me know.👍👍

[@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES]

lovely days fishing that Den well tested id say sure makes a difference personally i often fish with the bait loose to the feeder or buried

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

now you no what to do Steve lol

[@clivecottingham2043]

That small feeder looks spot on Den,well explained.Lovely fishery and so well filmed as usual.🤩🎥🤩

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Clive. It does appear to work well, but this was only a first test, so I think I need to firm up my findings with more trips out fishing.😁😁👍👍

[@dannydemaet4846]

Good method feeders Den ,well done👍👍🐟👋

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Danny

[@alanmeasures8337]

Would it be possible Den to have a good closeup of the feeder showing how you fix it in place and the sliding way maybe in the garage Cheers.

[@FishingwithDen]

No worries Alan. I'll do it for this weeks video, along with some tank tests.

[@miroslavcermak1538]

Skvělý nápad👍. Mohl by jste prosím nahrát video na zhotovení klipu. Děkuji. Zdravím z České Republiky .

[@FishingwithDen]

If you have a 3D printer, I can send you the .stl file to make it.

[@andrebritz4869]

Great Videos as always, Yep we need an Australian Rep for more feeder fishing products 👍

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Andre. Whereabouts are you?

[@andrebritz4869]

I am in Melbourne Victory

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

Very good idea there Den, and you proved that it works brilliantly, Thank you for that

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks James

[@johncaven8170]

For about a year now I have modified a Duro bango by using a float stop on the hook length and a small slit in the bango body works well.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks John. I have seen another video on KZbin which does the same thing. It was also my first thought as an answer to this issue, but then I decided to go down the sliding line route which seems to work well. I'll be doing tank tests in this weeks video to see how well it actually performs.

[@Offcut55]

Cannot wait for the stl to try these out den great idea

Hi Ralf. Thanks mate.

Those are sitting on the hands bites Den 🙂 Brilliant idea the MAP ones are being released on 20th May at £3.25 each on preoder for any UK subscribers .I will try some see how I get on Won't be till end of May though .He or She had other ideas about the photo though

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Barbara. I just watched the Guru underwater video and I can see how these might give me an edge.

[@barbaraneville5036]

@@FishingwithDen Around 11 hours ago I watched the Guru video Looking forward to part three of that series Those casts so accurate from S Ringer not sure calling a fish Noo Noo was a good idea though Amazing insight into what actually happens as opposed to what we think is happening

[@FishingwithDen]

@@barbaraneville5036 I wish my waters were so clear Barbara. I would happily wade out and put a camera out there too. Unfortunately, where I fish the waters are chocolate coloured.

[@colinhope]

You should be a consultant for the tackle industry. Have you seen the Guru underwater Method film; well worth a look on KZbin.

[@FishingwithDen]

Lol. I'm retired these days Colin, but if Matrix, Preston or some of the others are interested, I'll certainly consider it as their Australia rep.😁👍

[@tadiadi]

Hi Den! I have an ideea and I want to try it and maybe you can also. What if instead of this temporary stopper that you created from plastic and rubber, you will try to temporary fix (stick) with a sticky small ball of groundbait directly on a edge of the method feeder. The sticky groundbait it can be used some usual one or maybe some sticky groundbait used for fishing hook. It can increase the power of atraction and can fix the rig for a short time to assure the fish hooking.

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi mate. Your explanation is not exactly clear to me I'm afraid. Why don't you post a short video on your channel and send me a link.

[@loursb]

Something like a dissolvable bait putty?

[@tadiadi]

@@loursb no. A small part of disolvable groundbait but something sticky and the purpose of that is just to keep the mono rig stick to the method for 10minute let's say. I didn't use bait putty but i found on internet that is based on tungsten.

[@FishingwithDen]

@@loursb Possibly?

[@loursb]

Not the actual bait putty based on tungsten but something dissolvable and eatable by the fish with the same consistency and stickiness ? More like a dough paste maybe? I have tried in the past with melting pva floss to keep the hooklength where I wanted it for a time but is fiddly and the hooklength gets free around the time the groundbait start swelling and moving. Definitely not worth.

[@loursb]

Great idea Den and great fishing ! What are the rubber bits of the clip?

[@FishingwithDen]

It is 2.5mm outside diameter hollow silicone rubber, but I'm sure plenty of other things like old pole elastic would work Ovidiu.

[@drewrobertson2425]

Is method feeder in tackle shop I want to buy couple because I'm method feeder fan

[@FishingwithDen]

I'm afraid not. They are Homemade.

[@Coarseangler-h1o]

Well done den, perhaps you should sell these ? I would def buy a few

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Paul. Get a 3D Printer mate. You can make them yourself for pennies.

[@theimpaler5034]

I was at manly dam the other day turtle are gone time to hot some spots in you area

[@FishingwithDen]

No worries Vlad. Let me know how you get on.

[@geoff738]

I like the idea Den it’s ingenious. 👏 For me I would always use the shortest length of line in the clip for the bolt effect then when the line slips from the clip when you hook the fish you got the cushion of full hook length, be great in the colder months when they’re bit finicky. Korum use a similar idea with the clips on there grub feeders

[@FishingwithDen]

@@geoff738 Thanks Geoff. I'm not convinced about 2" hooklengths. I always feel that there is not enough travel for them to get a good hook hold in the fishes mouths. I haven't seen the Korum feeders, so I'll take a look now.

[@geoff738]

@@FishingwithDen if your using a 4 inch hook length and then you pinch the line in the clip so there’s 1 inch from the clip to the hook, so a short bolt rig, then when your playing the fish the line breaks out of the clip so in fact your playing the carp back on a 4 inch hook length… the best of both worlds. I also wouldn’t use a 2 inch hook length …sorry for the confusion Den lol

@@geoff738 No worries Geoff mate.👍👍😁😁
