WHY NOT USE A FEEDER?

The reason I don’t use a feeder filled with liquidised bread when roving for chub is that most of the time I want to move my hookbait into position after casting, for example, under a tree.

Under such circumstances a feeder won’t work. All the contents will come out as the bait is swinging into place, and rather than draw fish to the bait it will actually draw them away from it.

My approach is to present a bait to fish where they are living rather, than sit and wait for them to come to me.
