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.
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!
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.
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.
Looks great Rob thanks and handy for getting my grandson interested. Trouble is there was a lot of technical terms I personally didn't understand. Maybe you could do one for newbies and youngsters?
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.
@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.
@@jamsams Hi Jay. I think we actually agree. The point of my initial post was that kids (or anyone else) can can get plenty of bites without the need for expensive pellet baits and bags of kit. Worms, bread, a simple running line. They catch fish!
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
Certainly caused a bit of controversy with this I don't fish with a pole but getting that bait into the margins is a good tip we cannot cast there but this if allowed in the fishery rules non match fishing would get a few as the fish think they are safe in that sort of area
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.
@@RobWootton Thanks for the answer. Is it good rod?Ii want to buy something with length 10ft and i think this is good choice... my budget is around 100
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
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
Yup, nowts ever new, I'm nearly 70, my grandad used to use a little paper bag with everything in, cast it out them he'd sit and smoke a Parky rough. 5 minutes later big fish. Now it's called PVA bagging.
@@Retired-Tom My grandad used to collect maggots from bone wagons at a nearby fertiliser plants rail yard. In winter he would pop the hook bait in his mouth to make it wriggle.
hair-rig fishing is like putting a mouse-trap in the water ... and waiting. there is absolutely no challenge anymore ... of timing, attention, etc. in my opinion - it's the beginning of the end of inspiring and challenging angling. idiot-proof mechanical leisure. just sayin' ... in general.
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 )
makes me laugh the title of the vid tells you (banned tactic ) its for fun like robs doing . our clubs banned it because we fish to nfa rules as you say its 2 rods
Yes mate. Anywhere decent is tied up with syndicates for rich bellends who want to look good. Or clubs with waiting lists. So commercials are really the only accessible option for most. Personally would rather be fed my own nuts than fish these venues.
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.
@@jamsams Rubbish. Miles and miles of canal on the waterways wanderer ticket which was twenty quid last time I looked. These are basically waters for talentless anglers with zero water craft. Most reservoirs are day ticket.
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.
@@RobWootton There is I think a baiting spoon similar that Carp anglers use to get into the overhanging branches Quite successfully A lot cheaper than buying a bait boat 😀
@@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.

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.

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
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.
Great tactic bud, I’m going to have a go with my little 8ft rod but I favour my little 2500 Shimano baitrunner 👍🏽
look's like a very good way to fish the method to a impossible place to cast to rob, thank you for that,👍
Hi Rob could you tell me the make and model of the rod your using in this clip please. Thanks Chris
Looks great Rob thanks and handy for getting my grandson interested.
Trouble is there was a lot of technical terms I personally didn't understand.
Maybe you could do one for newbies and youngsters?

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.
@@jamsams - fair point, getting kids interested is very important.

Excellent video Rob, cheers
The matchmans version of the bait boat😂
Exactly
Great video well explained what a killer tactic 👍
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
same result can be achieved with bait boat then?
Why do you guys not use baitrunner reels?
Our club allows this on our matches on the right peg its awesome
I bet
Why dont you fish the method feeder on the pole im sure thats not banned as i fish it great fun
Somebody should try and make a whip to take a method feeder perfect for that job even a pole I'm sure there's a elastic that could cope with it.
Until your hook length snaps and the feeder come back at you I recon
Our club allows this on our matches, in the right peg its awsome
Certainly caused a bit of controversy with this I don't fish with a pole but getting that bait into the margins is a good tip we cannot cast there but this if allowed in the fishery rules non match fishing would get a few as the fish think they are safe in that sort of area
Nice one Rob top man I remember when folk were using the method on the pole
Cheers Jeff, Method on the pole can be mega but swinging it out nicely means lifting the pole really high
Method is fine, as long has it is inline and will fall off if the line snaps
Cracking video keep up the great job
What rod did you say you were using
Your lucky you've got fisheries than ban it ,up here in Scotland we've got f&*%k all ,unless you like little trout ,
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 🤔
technically using 2 rods at oncew (even though youre not fishing with 2) - ive fished waters that ban this)
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 🤣
Nice fishing bravo 👍
I don’t understandI don’t understand why it’s banned as carp anglers use this method regularly
Makes me want to get back into it.
Why you waiting
@@RobWootton Finances but 100% will be back at it soon. Absolutely love fishing.
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
@@RobWootton so this would constitute as a second rod ? I'll bow to your superior knowledge Rob !! Thanks for the reply 👍
@@RobWootton so this would constitute as a second rod ? I'll bow to your superior knowledge Rob !! Thanks for the reply 👍
Hello, what brand and model is the rod ?
It’s a middy 5G 9ft feeder rod
@@RobWootton Thanks for the answer. Is it good rod?Ii want to buy something with length 10ft and i think this is good choice... my budget is around 100
It’s perfect for carp fishing at short range
how do you know if the feeder is the right way up ?
Yes I was thinking the same thing and would be interested to know.
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
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
Banned in our club 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 ………
83 year old fisherman. the old ways. tie dead rabbit or road kill up the trees wait for the fly's and maggots. catch fish all-day long, UK.
Old school

Just use method on the pole
Is anyone else annoyed by that water bottle just casually floating on the lake?
I hate litter but to be honest Packington is usually a spotless venue
Banned by pole match men🤣

just sayin' ... in general.
So I’ve got to spend 100’s on a pole just to get that cup out there ? Rather use a branch ...
Nice one Lemming
Is this a tactic for last two hours of a match ?
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 )
Would work if it’s allowed Steven
Great tactic Rob will try it when allowed thanks
Why not fish method on the pole
Try it and comment how you get on
A hook pull out would send a method feeder flying at your pole, if hit, it would likely break your tip.
@@qotsa5728 see a few people using it but mostly on flooded rivers but some on snake lakes
your fishing under a tree , strike and miss a bite and your rig will be in the branches.
@@joereid5876 no need to strike fish all ready hooked
makes me laugh the title of the vid tells you (banned tactic ) its for fun like robs doing . our clubs banned it because we fish to nfa rules as you say its 2 rods
Cheers Steven
No fun anymore 😕 All about kit.
So buy a pole? I’m sorry chap, I respect the tip but it’s not viable for most of us
fishing is easy - successfull fishing, not always..
Cheers,, That’s the point Børge
all uk fishing channels fish in man made fisherys full of fish
They don't.
See Carl and Alex channel or From The Waters Edge.
What's your point
Yes mate. Anywhere decent is tied up with syndicates for rich bellends who want to look good. Or clubs with waiting lists. So commercials are really the only accessible option for most. Personally would rather be fed my own nuts than fish these venues.
donkeys years old this method .... quicker using pole ... just a video for gettin more like
Cheers Frank
Catching unatural fish in an unatural location. Shooting fish in a barrel. Sad to see.

Nice one OM have a look at my other vids for some river fishing 👍
Why on earth would you publish a video of a predominantly banned tactic, come on Rob, get your act together fella! 🎣🙄
Because most guys who watch the videos are not match anglers so just want a tactic to catch more fish
@@RobWootton There is I think a baiting spoon similar that Carp anglers use to get into the overhanging branches Quite successfully A lot cheaper than buying a bait boat 😀
@@RobWootton and they don't have to buy a 4 grand Pole. A 200 quid one will work fine for this method.
