Checked these out Dave but they come In a bit strong price wise for me i think. a standard small tie round a grippa lead with a hole In It should hold a bag nicely. The added advantage Is if the bag is firmly secured to the lead Its not likely to detach before breaking down properly and roll...

Nice idea Dan but its the Trent below Newark might get a little damp :)

That sounds good advice had thought of burying the hook and bait but could get hooked into cage feeders so your tip sound the dogs simplest usualy the best.

Feeder emptying I have not been soaking my pellets thinking being the damper they are the more likely they will stick In the feeder, not much flow on the trent where I fish and I keep reeling in with half a feeder full of pellets. Was thinking of glazing my pellets with hemp oil to...

Been using long hooklinks lately and have had a few issues casting Ie 5/ 6 foot long jobs,dont seem to have any control what so ever any tips for shortening link prior to cast dont want to be messing with pva. Banks I fish are well overgrown and I have hooked my umbrella a couple of times ok up...

Size 12 you after sharks LOL just got some of the drennan specimen plus in a 16s to try I do put two rods out one targeting the bigger fish and one for out thats going usualy end up catching on the out thats going rod;)

glueing pellets It Is possible to band even 4mm pellets with a micro bait band and a banding tool although I did not manage to put a groove In a 4mm so they may be prone to coming off a bit easier. I tried glueing and dont get on with it to fiddly with really small pellets I find banding...

Was wondering what Is the smallest pellets any of you might use on a hair rig, bearing In mind small baits are advised for low clear rivers. I fished a stretch close to south Muskham on the trent today and after 3 biteless hours with pellets from 15mm down to 8mm decided to go down to an even...

Had a quick check of mine today as I am going on the trent tomorrow and they seem to appear ok, the plastic stem seems to be trapped In place by the weighted part of the feeder so you can see how it could become detached If the lead has not been securely fixed during manufacture mine seem ok...

Not had that problem yet touch wood but It dont sound that great the feeders do look on first inspection well made they should be for the price, will have to investigate further.

First time on the bank and very impressed with these feeders hold bottom well and no problems emptying at all will be getting some of the 4oz large size for sure for when theres a drop In.:)

korum river feeders HI came across an interesting post about homemade feeders that are in effect a closed feeder using a hinged lid fixed by cable ties I know the korum feeders are new and generating mixed reviews but they would be ideal for conversion to this style of feeder. Had a play around...

As I suggested they will probably have there uses and your description of how they empty seems to make sense, for when a lot of bait isnt required they should be very good.

Big and bulky sounds good to me.:D

Making my own did cross my mind but I doubt the number I use would affect the world lead price or send the garden centres profits soaring through mesh sales;)

Interesting you should mention fish obesity are there not many people suggesting the use of excessive amounts of high oil pellets being very bad for coarse fish so maybe the use of these feeders may be a good thing;) I do use halibut pellets for barbel but would not pile In large amounts of...

I have purchased a small selection of these to try out as the idea looks good nice low profile and available In a decent weight range. However the small size Is a bit smaller than I was expecting and the large Isnt really that large, but I dare say they will have there uses. Oh and they are...

rods rods rods I already have one barbel rod 1.75 greys prodigy as was previously mentioned by someone i to feel this rod is a little lacking in power for heavy flows, i intend to fish the tidal ouse below york that doesnt appear to pull that hard in comparison to the tidal trent that i also...
