Using one bankstick is best. Your rod is placed in the rest with the butt sitting on the ground. This way your rod tip is held high up and keeps most of the line out of the water. When you cast, hold the rod tip high to keep line out of the current until the leger / feeder hits bottom of the river.
Brilliant pop-up weight system that allows the counter weight to be altered in seconds. Unique design prevents damage to line whilst elastic locks weight firmly in place. The Dispenser has a range of weights from No.4 through to Swan to cope with a wide variety of rig and bait combinations. The other individual sized weights have the elastic included.
4) EASY RIGS. There’s nothing difficult about setting either rig up. If I’m clipping my feeders on and off I thread a Method feeder ‘tail rubber’ on to my mainline and tie a 3ins loop in the end of my mainline using a double overhand loop knot. Clip your feeder on and slide the tail rubber down on to the stem of the feeder – job done!
Ledgering for perch is pretty simple; all you need is a simple running or paternoster rig with a fluorocarbon or thin wire trace and, depending on the size of the fish, a size 4 to 8 wide gape hook. The best baits for ledgered perch include live bleak, roach and rudd, as well as lobworms, prawns and maggots. If you want to get plenty of helpful
Getting your pellets dampened just right is essential with the Method. The reason it works so well is that it presents a concentrated pile of feed with the hookbait dead-centre. If the bait flies off the feeder in mid-cast, or as it sinks through the water column, you are reducing the effectiveness of the rig and spreading the fish out.
BAIT. What Ian uses is dependent on the time of year. In the summer, he will use a 50:50 mix of Dynamite Baits’ Green Swim Stim groundbait and Green Swim Stim pellets. This is because the fish seem to want groundbait more in the warmer weather, while the addition of the pellets brings a food value to hold a hungry shoal.
Background to "The Method" revolution. In my early fishing days, which were mostly on the lower reaches of the Derwent and Derbyshire Trent, feeder fishing was often a last resort chuck-in of a heavy feeder and home-made attempts to construct rigs which prevented the hook length tangling with the main line and hoping for the best.
