My own floating feeders - westysangling.co.uk/products/adjustable-float-and-sink-feeder?_pos=1&_psq=floating&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@nickbrown5122]

This is cracking video showing how to fish a floating feeder. I have also been trying to get the Korum floating feeder but had no luck. Made my own from an old plastic maggot feeder. Prosecco cork as the plug. Drill a hole right through big enough to take elastic / rubber band/ ladies hair bobble. Cut the Prosecco cork just enough after the diameter changes from large to small so to form a seat in the plastic feeder. Next get an old plastic store card and cut it hexagon shape bigger than the diameter of the feeder and drill a hole through it. Push the elastic through the card and knot the end. Thread the elastic through the feeder and the seat end of the cork. Stretch the elastic enough to give closure tension and knot the end to secure. There you have a home made floating feeder for 10mins prep, 5 mins work, 5 mins clear up.

Love your videos mate single-handedly got me to try feeder fishing after mostly fishing rivers, now I’m hooked 😂 going to pick up one of these or make my own for sure 👍

[@ianbarton2581]

Watched this video last week and tried to buy one. Korum say that they should be available end Aug early Sept. I made my own from a maggot feeder and a cork. Used I today and was amazed st results. Had over 20 carp and F1s on hottest day of year.

[@bazpartridge5824]

A friend of mine try this today & emptied the lake.....was amazing to witness.

[@robertlunt-01147]

Great new way of fishing Matt,can’t wait to get some and have a go ,brilliant video

[@nigelridley4864]

I made something similar using a Kinder Surprise Egg. Drilled some 6mm holes, a bent piece of stainless steel wire for the line attachment and a piece of closed cell foam hot glued in the cap. Really quite simple!

[@WestysAngling]

Who ate the kinder egg that’s the question 👀😂

[@Andyfishing23]

I watch all your videos Westy and appreciate the time and effort you put into them. It would be good if you can mention where you’re fishing. I can see other comments asking the same question a lot. Tight lines 👍🎣

[@WestysAngling]

I always link the fishery in the descriptions buddy, if I don’t then there is a reason why I haven’t, usually political. Some don’t want the advertising which is crazy

[@akwamarsunzal]

Yeah, lets get fishing! Was going to get out today but work got in the way 😞 Roll on Friday 🙂

[@PiebaldBrandon]

Always good to switch up methods and use methods the fish may never have seen before

[@iancampbell2028]

Great video 😊 keep up the great work , some lovely looking fish u caught

[@phileckersall4285]

Yet another brilliant video, just a shame we can't get hold of a feeder to try it out as well. I appreciated the video you sent my mate 'Mike' we will get him back out fishing very soon 👍

[@WestysAngling]

No problem at all 👌🏻🎣

[@BarryGarcia-we2cd]

Hiya, So I went out the other night I didn't do as good as you but it is a great way to take them off the top. Tomorrow (depending on the weather) & (if I see there feeding off the top) I am going to try different mixes, I will let you know.

[@rockdogization]

be defo giving this a go matt if i can find one!..another great video bud! tight lines..

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks Kev !

[@nvidia668]

mate! i needed this feeder yesterday all the carp floating on the top and u aint allowed floating baits devastated... love your videos keep at it !!

[@WestysAngling]

Ideal for situations like that !

[@DanielWalkercarp96]

Great video always wanted to us the korum float feeder when it first come out but never have the chance to get one and now I know it works I will be getting some and I love watching your videos

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks Dan ! Appreciate that buddy

[@yeoldebimbler608]

Couldn't get one anywhere so made my own.

[@felgate11]

In fact bud, I found a couple of old Shakespeare, Large, In line maggot feeders, there's a plain, semi circular chamber on one side, sealed with a pull cap for the loose Lead strip to go in. I've emptied the lead out, & painted that section Fluorescent red. Tested in washing up bowl, & they come, red side up & buoyant, Every time. Being, "In Line", they float Parallel as well, so will empty out the pellets better with all the holes facing down ? Thanks for planting the seed mate !!

[@yamyow]

Spent 15 mins online trying to track one down,no such luck. Anyway thanks westy another brilliant video x

[@andrewtravis7737]

Andy findlay was doing this many many years ago using foam in standard feeders to get them slow sinking or floating there’s a video on here somewhere on foundation lake at Mallory park probably where Korum got it from

[@ianjenkinson8431]

For anyone looking for any floating feeders still there has been a delivery I've managed to get a few from Ian's fishing tackle but everywhere else sold out in less than an hour so don't hang around

[@BarryGarcia-we2cd]

Hiya, ok I went out on Sunday, it wasn't the weather for sunbathing on the lake so I didn't float feed, but I had a great morning on the method. I cant plan my fishing days, so that's why I take a bit of this that & the other. Its like the weather prepare for everything.

[@BarryGarcia-we2cd]

Hiya, what a great video, I already tried the float feeders, yes I caught fish but not as good as you. I thought I would make my ground bait sloppier so it would leek out easier, not sure I was right, my thinking was it drips out the feeder & that would attract the fish. Any way today is hot & I am going out at 3pm till 9pm so I will try it your way. Hopefully I do just as good.

[@WestysAngling]

If it’s dripping out Barry it’s too watery, takes some playing about with 👌🏻👍🏻 you want a slow realise

[@brandonhoward90]

Had to get mine from Europe too; paid crazy money in postage just for them but look too good to miss out on😂

[@paulhales2926]

Been trying to get one of these for weeks now, but like for most of us it’s out of stock. Anyways, a mental session as I thought it would be so well done 👍.

I believe stock is coming through in the next 6 weeks, fingers crossed you get one before the weather cools off

[@paulhales2926]

[@martinhassall7884]

Great video mate very impressed. I suppose it's the same thing as such but just wondering if there's a pellet waggler float but with holes in it with an option to bug feed inside the float one end.

[@markhall0670]

Really like the look of these feeders , pity about the availability , Love to see more outings using these mate ...

[@WestysAngling]

On the way !

[@Northstar-Media]

It can be a deadly method when the weathers right & if your struggling to find floating feeders stick a ping pong ball in the top of your normal feeders. I also fish the Riaco slow sinker depth charge bites can be savage when you get it right ✅️ 🎣

I've got one of those feeders. I've got a orange one off ebay.

[@johnwilson7174]

Interesting video. You could glue a piece of foam or cork into a normal feeder and it would be just the same.

[@WestysAngling]

100% into a maggot feeder

[@stewartwilson3258]

Definitely reinvented the wheel with that one. Floating feeders have been available for years, they do look like a well made version of TBF not much good if you cant get hold of them, it is also. A deadly method on a pole. I missed the venue name can I ask where it is as it looks like a lovely place.

[@nathanhoran-nw5tm]

nice think i make sum with me old feeder with cork bosh seems easy enough

[@boilieben]

You smashed that, never seen you catch so many carp! When you say dry for the Groundbait did you add any water? I went to a country park lake today that I’d never fished before, I had two rods on the go, one with the floating feeder and one with the method, blanked on both 😂 I’ve tried the sloppy groundbait and tried it more dry today, I think dry is better, it clouds up the water better and it’s easier and less messy to load, plus you can really pack it in and it still comes out. I’m definitely going to use two rods, one with method and one floating over the summer to see what’s going best

[@WestysAngling]

I think the sloppy mix is better, it’s just finding that balance 👌🏻

[@oje2963]

where was this don't know if i missed it great vid as usual

[@ryanlawrence4883]

Class ending to wicked session mate! Hopefully I can try one of these one day! Also where did you get your pellet soaker from?

[@WestysAngling]

Someone donated it to me believe it or not 😂😂 yes the end to the session was a good surprise!

[@robparkes3865]

Another fab vid. I seriously think they could be home-made (modified)......and maybe with swivel at bottom of feeder? What do you think Westy?

[@WestysAngling]

I’m thinking maggot feeder, remove the lead and put foam in the lid 👍🏻

[@harrison9281]

Cracking video - Which fishery is this bud?

[@AnthonyRigby-cl4mf]

Great product and a great watch... again. Am I wrong or could the feeder be developed to be quick change, then us tip fishermen can simply change the style of fishing as the fish start to cruise usually later in the day?

[@WestysAngling]

You could just put a running clip on your line and attach via that, then swap between cage and this 👌🏻

[@AnthonyRigby-cl4mf]

@@WestysAngling I was thinking more in-line method feeder as opposed to cage but I take on board what you are saying. Thanks

[@BarryGarcia-we2cd]

ok thanks for your advice. I will let you know how I get on.

[@WestysAngling]

I have found adding about 10% 2mm pellets helps slow the breakdown too! Also try blended bread in it. I have found wafters on the look work best rather than pellet for some reason as well.

[@robertthompson8757]

I got open-ended rocket surface feeders from eBay, not tried them yet. Three different types for ten pound look good tho.

[@WestysAngling]

I have seen them ! Problem is it dumps all the bait right away, these can be fishing for a longer period of time without recasting, allowing fish to build confidence. That’s what I have found so far 👍🏻🎣 but the rocket feeders are a great temporary alternative 🚀

[@barbaraneville5036]

I have something similar which looks like a basket underneath with a float on top Recommended to use really sloppy groundbait and recast every minute the cloud of groundbait which attracts them in and no pinging of pellets But the Korum ones look a lot better Maybe Korum took that design and modified it

Good Idea Westy, but people will already be thinking - "No Need to buy these" !

Can always put the Lead back on to have it back to normal. I just can't see these selling very well with that in mind ? (Yes, I'm a Tight Yorkshire Git) 🕊⏲

[@davidleigh2573]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@JamesM92]

Looks like a maggot feeder to me. Are you sure your supposed to put groundbait in?

[@WestysAngling]

Holes are way too big for maggots they would be on the floor before you cast out. You can put anything you want in it, bread flake, 2mm pellets and Groundbait works best. Check out Korum’s video on it 👍🏻

[@pcbwizarduk8284]

Would a feeder float not work just as well? 😂

[@DJ-Russyruss]

Million dollar question; is it a float or is it a feeder?

[@DJ-Russyruss]

Managed to get myself a couple of these recently and am really interested in using them, but not finding anywhere that allows their use. If deemed a ‘float’ then surely one could just replace a pellet waggler with this (ie, have a float stop either side) and continue. However, if this is deemed a feeder, most fisheries state free running feeders only ie, no stops above. How would one go about a free running floating feeder?
