    The quest for the big cats has only just begun. The struggle just makes the final success taste that bit sweeter.
    Blanking is all part of the game.

    26 fish on the method feeder Saturday just gone for me. Sat out till 2 am with my new korum chair with 2 rod xs feeder arm setup. Bites coming every 10 minutes. So glad I took the plunge and brought it all. Thanks to westy for his review

    Did you use back leads as I have found with cats being so long most single beeps are cats swimming threw your line
    And for bait try try a halibut pellets and a pop up with worms

  • @grahamgillard1174
    @grahamgillard1174 4 місяці тому +1

    Good try fellas, different tactics for different venues it's the way it goes. My personal favourite is luncheon meat marinaded in curry powder, then that into a pva bag with trout pellet an salmon&squid oil, it's worked for me my pb at the moment is 56lb, but hope to get bigger 👍

    In addition if you freeline with lunchen meat, you will stand a high chance of deep hooking the cat, your advice is dangerous. The right thing to do is to either use a semi fixed lead with a 8 to 10 inch hook length with a tight hair and a kicker in the hook. Or fish with ceramic running rings on wide bore tungston tubing terminating in a tulip bead.

    Honuestly was this a joke video ? 3.15 lb test curve what a joke , minimum for a cat rod us 4lb test curve , 30lb line should be the minimum , and if you nee anything you eould know you use leads 4oz plus , on a running rig as you want it pinned to lake bed , with a ceramic runner at least 1m of tube. The advice your giving is dangerous please stop

      Cats don’t feed in a way that you can deep hook them. They are quite gentle feeders and suck and blow like carp. You haven’t got a clue . Hence why you only have 80 subs

  • @pauledmonds3249
    @pauledmonds3249 3 місяці тому

    There is very little science involved in catching a Catfish. I've caught dozens on a big smelly PVA bag of pellets with a big smelly boilie inside. They are not rig aware as they can hardly see, they are just giant hoovers who suck an enormous mouthful of bait in at once . My PB is 120lb on exactly the method i've described, so stop making out it's an exact science. Float fishing for them however is a different matter and requires skill and knowledge.
