Hi All
Trev and I have been fishing with feeders a lot lately - I've been sticking with my tried and trusted elasticated Fox Flatbed (or similar), while Trev has been cleaning up with a special rig he's come up with, which seems to work with pretty any type of feeder. I'll let him explain the details, but having a running rig with a back stop / knot 1.5 inches up the line seems to result in a better hook rate - best guess is that the fish are feeding very strongly (due to the 'B' in the groundbait
!), so need just a little more time to take the bait.
