I have recently finished reading Archie Braddock's book "Fantastic Feeder Fishing", where he describes fishing a feeder upstream with a large bow in the line, and the feeder weighted so that it will start to move if a fish takes the bait.
The impression that Archie gives is that this is an excellent river method that will catch fish much more efficently than a conventional downstream feeder rig.
If it's so good, why do I hear so little of it nowadays? I never hear of it in the angling press, and of my various angling books, only Dave Coster's "Guide To Coarse Fishing" mentions it briefly.
Has anybody else tried it, and do they think it's as good as Archie says?
