I took my little lad fishing recently and set him up with a quiver rod. I tied a simple paternoster with a ground bait feeder in a 4"link with a 2ft hook length.
He was getting bites but was missing quite a few. I changed to the loop method and shortened the hook length to 12".
This did the trick and he started catching roach to about 8oz.
Although I wouldn't use the loop method when fishing for chub and barbel because of the potential for tethering, it appears that it is still acceptable when fishing for silvers.
Is this the case?
