Clipped up casting

[nocturnus anglius]

I can let you into an idea i saw being used on the Trent 30 odd years ago, long before spods. Then the lads used old fairy liquid bottles with the ends cut off.

Take an old spod and cut the closed end off, add some lead along the side like a feeder. You have a feeder with flights. Add your mix and plug the ends with ground bait.

Cast to your spot and the spod will sink, once it has hit the bottom allow it to lay for a few seconds, tighten up, and a couple of tugs will release any mix left in the Speeder , thats a spod and feeder. I thought i would name it, before someone at Korda claims they made and named it first.

At the end of the day, it's down to how each angler likes to fish, and how they get the feed to the spot they are fishing.

If anyone every found the perfect bait etc etc, or sport would be very very boring.

That's actually a good idea,

Don't tell anyone

Why make things complicated when a big feeder put out say 10 times for example and struck into at at different depths in the water will put the loose feed over the area you want to put the hookbait amongst.

You could call it The Kruiser

I guess it's all down to personal experience, I just don't think mathematical equations blend very well with a sport that is largely pursued with gut feeling, natural instinct, ability and £2000.00 worth of kit

tum te tum :wh

The spod with the end cut off will fly much easier, further and carriers more feed.

Nothing wrong with what you say Tony, just takes longer.

not being a mathematical genius i just pub chuck to a likely looking spot then pult singles in an arc around the splash, i never cast to the same exact spot either, if i have a take i cast back to around 5 to 6ft away from the original spot, it helps that i know my lakes and spots that i fish tho

Hang on, where did the £2000 worth of kit come from lol

Looks like you have been misquoted, hee, hee.

I never cast to the same spot either, and I encrypt my feeding pattern so that no-one understands it, nor do the fish - it makes them feel confident

 

[robtherake]

Popping your rig in a big PVA bag and chucking a few of those out (clipped-up) would give you a carpet without worrying where your rig has ended up with relation to the feed, although it limits you to using relatively dry or oily feeds. The fish will waft and shove it around in no time anyway on the easy waters I fish.

Gravel bars and heavy weed, Rob, you may stand a chance but its a chuck in the dark.

I wonder if women anglers debate knitting patterns when they cast off? mg:

That's odd; the missus doesn't know of the existence of most of my gear.
