Joe. Would dearly love you to do a video on the benefits of a shock leader, even at short range when you don't need one for casting. I notice you Rob and others are using them, as short as a meter you mentioned on one clip. Love the work, those Bream at Northampton were stunning mate! Richard.
Hi Joe what a great video. It’s funny how things go in circles in fishing, twisted power gum links I always loved them for general and short range feeder work. I use an old Drennan IM8 bomb rod for this kind of work and it is superb. I have put a shot instead of a stop knot on the line, hear the click and swing and it’s keeps the line pinned down but I will try your idea.Try out a long whip for this, fitted with a flicktip they are even faster. I have done a video on this for those unbelievers. Bill
Great video Joe! re holding the rod with no rest, is this because you would you miss more bites by putting in a rest and more tension to the feeder? I fish a drain ideally fishing for bream but miss loads of bites from roach on the feeder with a similar set up otherwise
Yes as I don't really strike I need to hold the rod. So every time I get a bite I just move the Feeder a few inches which is enough to set the hook. If the bite is missed I can just relax and wait for another bite.
Stop knot .....spot on.

What a great technique!!
Joe do you not think an 11ft rod for 15 metres is somewhat excessive would an 8 ft be ok ?
Not at all. It's different to using a method feeder where an 8ft would be fine
When your fishing international the feeder link is rule but what about the stop knot in the quiver tip is that alowed?
Why do you fish a long rig with the feeder?
Hey Joe, I know you mentioned that the rod was a prototype but are you at liberty to say now that it's a year later?
Yea it was an 11ft Supera SL
@@MatchFishingFilms thanks Joe, much appreciated
