'A GOOD IDEA BUT SOMEWHAT FLAWED.'

Strengths:
Easy to use, flys well and does the job.

Weaknesses:
The plastic stem, while strong enough to hold any fish is nevertheless a bit brittle and can be broken in the tackle box rendering it useless (mine got snapped in a fox box when the lid trapped it over a divider).
Also the eye at the end of the same stem is a little small making it a fiddle to attach to even a small link swivel, in an effort to overcome this I added a small split ring which worked fine until eventually I got a run from a decent fish and it went slack, winding in revealed just the split ring, so it must have snapped the plastic eye, obviously leaving the feeder hooked to the fish, which hopefully will manage to dislodge it (barbless hook). I was very dissapointed with this event, especially for the fishes sake.

An improvement would be a stainless stem with a better eye.

Overall:
As a system, especially used in Andy Finlays style this is an excellent feeder flawed by a rather poor design in the stem, with that improved it would be a 10/10 product, as it is I can only give it 5/10

'good match feeders, robust and strong a good solid buy'

Strengths:
Very strong, simple to use match feeders designed for speed so it puts more fish in your net. It's flat so it helps stop the hooklength from tangling in the straps.

Weaknesses:
The price is a bit steep considering you have to pay out 1.50 every time you buy one. It can't hold too much ground bait around it but enough for most situations.

Overall:
Overall, I was impressed with this feeder, Korum have really put some thought into the making of this. It's streamlined, easy to use, strong and very well made. In my opinion it only has one downfall and that is the price. Apart from that I think it's a great feeder and really is worth a look at.

'SO EASY TO USE'

Strengths:
The design is absolutely spot on. it holds as much or as little feed as required and assures correct presentation every time.

Weaknesses:
If used "as is" out of the bag, it is easy to make a mistake and set it up as a potential harmful rig.

Overall:
If you take the time to set it up safely, it is the best method feeder you'll ever use.
