Hi Guys,
When feeder fishing rivers for chub or barbel how do you decide how long your hook length should be?
I tend use a long length, say 3-4ft, if there is a good flow and shorten it for where it's a slower. That's purely to try and keep the hook near the feeder for as long as possible. Not sure whether it works or not. I catch, but that might be in spite of rather than because of.
I would be interested to know how you guys choose the length of hooklink you do.
