Just bought a monster 11ft pellet waggler rod,Rather than buy another rod,can i fish the method using 25 gram feeder or is the rod not strong enough for the job ?
I am not really sure, but I am doing the same with my 11ft pellet wagler rod. So far it works great for me. I think buying the equipment thats made for method feeders obviously is the best choice, but i dont think it is worth the money if youre just casually fishing every now and then. In my experience, a pellet wagler rod works perfectly fine as well and will get the job done
My local fishery band elsasticated method feeders as well a few year ago they told me it's because if you get snaped the fish is still carrying the feed around in its mouth but a inline feeder doesn't it just falls to the pond floor
It’s all about fish welfare. A pole elastic doesn’t get anywhere near the fish, so is you snap the fish has a hook ( barbless I hope these days) to contend with, and of course 4-6 inches of hooklength line. However, if you snap your mainline whilst using an elasticated feeder rig the fish is unlikely to be able to rid itself of the 20 - 60 g weight … and once that becomes snagged it’s a slow death sentence for the fish. I think that is why many venues insist on the use of free running rigs, so should the line snap the fish can pull the line free from the feeder / weight.
When u say big what size are we talking! Reason I ask is I have some carp to mid 20s and can I heck get them in thanks

Can never understand why fisheries ban elasticated feeders but you can fish the pole with stronger elastic Any Idea

@@markbacon946 Yes mate depends were you snap off they could still drag the feeder thinking about it Cheers
@@markbacon946 Also they ban guru x safe elasticated which are actually in line feeders can understand normal but not guru
What a great video
Informative without hard selling expensive baits and tackle but showing where you can get great value set up
