Q

What type of feeder should I use on a commercial at this time of year? IAN JENKINS, VIA EMAIL

AA feeder is ideal for when the fish want a bit of bait to get stuck into, but don’t go too mad by picking a big feeder that holds a lot of pellets right now. Minimal feed will still be best, so pick a small feeder that will drop a pinch of bait into the peg on every cast. Small cage feeders, Method or pellet feeders are all excellent choices on commercials. If the water is cold and clear, try changing from feeder to bomb from time to time. The bomb will offer minimal disturbance in the peg while giving you the option to fish a large, highly visible hookbait around minimal feed.
