Hi guys,
I have recently started trying to use the method feeder for carp but I am having some difficulty actually hooking into anything. I use a small method feeder and pack in a homemade breadcrumb mix and add some hookbaits to it on the bank. I tuck my bait into the top of the method before I press it into the mold. I have my rod resting in a bite alarm, bait runner on and keep a close eye. The method feeder seems to be knocked around a lot but I only rarely hook into anything! There was a young lad and his dad on the bank yesterday and they were hooking up quite frequently using the method feeder.
Not sure what I am doing wrong but any tips would be appreciated.
Also, what are your opinions on hair rigging vs bait directly on the hook?
