The important thing is to cast to the same place each time, to do this pick a distance, cast and then clip your line (C), line up with something on the far bank and you should hit the same spot each time. The groundbait (no we don''t call it chum), and the attractant will leak out of the feeder and into the surrounding water over time, hopefully attracting fish from a long way off. Just find a peg of the right depth, sit yourself down and get into a rythmn to attract the fish in the area to you. Mono is better than flouro because it has a some stretch and that's important for a short length of line.Įuropean feeder fishing is a style of fishing designed to bring the fish to you, so choice of swim is not so critical as it would be to say lure fishing. That's the way we've always done it and it works fine. If that were the case then fisheries aroundĮurope would be adorned with miles of main line from break-offs with all the danger to wildlife that would bring.Īnother reason the leader is the part of line that the fish will encounter close to the hook/feeder, to fool the fish that needs to be thinner than the main line. I've feeder fished for many years and nobody fishes with a leader of a heavier breaking strain than their main line.

WRONG the leader should always be your weakest link, so if the worse happens and you hook a monster and you get broken up you ONLY lose your leader and hook, not most of your line which could be as much as 50 or 60 metres if your feeder fishing at range. People wonder why they are breaking for no reason, that would be why :P because you can't see leader tension, and they are making it their weak point.

Your leader is attached to your main line, you have no gauges for it. 'As regards the tackle just make sure it's balanced and the leader is the weakest link.' Originally posted by Trulight_CBT:DISAGREE:
