welder Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 My son and I were reminiscing about some of our past angling exploits when he reminded me how well I used to do on the method. I used to make up a "secret" mix which contained sweetcorn and use corn on a short hair, buried into the ball of mix. "Why did you stop doing that, Dad" seemed a fair question although I had no answer. A fashion thing, maybe? Anyway, I'm going to give method feeders another go. Are there any particularly good ones I should look for? Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I’ve used these in the past Quite heavy with sticky pellets in the margins had a low 20 on it but I found when I cast them most of the pellets came off on impact with the water tried binding them with liquids but gave up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 If you want some of the old style cadge feeders they always have a box full at Furnace End car boot, no elastic in them you can put the main line or leader straight through and tie off to a quick link for the hook, he normally has all sorts of sizes from small to monster huge size. it's a fishing tackle stall can't miss it.

Know what? I'm pretty sure that's where I bought the ones I had before. Thanks, I'll pop over next weekend. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes flooding back! I used a mix of Dynamite Baits Meaty Marine powdered groundbait and their Frenzied Hemp powdered groundbait. I used the juice from a tin of sweetcorn as a binder and added corn to the mix. One or two kernels of corn on a short hair with the hook pushed well into the ball of mix.. Must give it another go, soon. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 a lot of waters ban elasticated feeders... clubs too, far better to have an in-line running method feeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why elasticated ones are potentially hazardous. Ian. salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
