I never ever use open ended feeders because I've had it where the hooklength has been up the mainline and for that reason I only ever use pellet/method feeder that way I control where the hooklength is.
A twizzled piece of mainline formed by twisting a loop of the mainline in opposite directions. But before you do this you put on a running feeder link, so you can quickley change feeders. Then you put on a line stop, or a couple of stotz. The line stop/or stotz are then pushed up the line out of the way, before forming the twizzled boom, which kicks your mainline away from the feeder. I make my twizzled boom around 6 inches when finished, so it hangs below the feeder. The loop is then finished off with a figure of eight knot, tag end trimmed, and the line stop or stotz are then pushed up to the finished knot. Your hook length is then attached to the end of the twizzled boom, the feeder will be free running up the line. This is a very effective anti tangle free running feeder rig which is extremely sensitive to bites from skimmers and roach.
Nothing better than feeder fishing on commercials, add ya dog into the equation and it’s bloody heaven.

What feeder arm is Tommy using?
Probably an Octbox feeder arm (my guess).
