When
it comes to fishing Method-style feeders it is usually a big advantage
to have your hookbait right in amongst your loosefeed, and to be able to
ensure that it stays there.
Now
that is made easy with the invention of the Guru Method Feeder Clip,
and a lot of time and thought has gone into getting this product just
right, with some fantastic results for the anglers who have been testing
it prior to its release.
The
Method Feeder Clip simply clips onto the hookbait plate of any of the
Method feeders in the Guru range, with different sizes designed to match
the feeders – the large will fit the 28g and 45g feeders, the small
fits the 24g and 36g - please ensure you order the correct ones!
As
well as keeping your hookbait right in amongst your loosefeed, it also
allows you to effectively fish very short hook links without the
associated problems that usually accompany those – difficulty in tying
them and increased potential for hook-pulls due to the close proximity
of the feeder to the hook during the fight – as once a fish is hooked
your hooklink will pull free from the Method Feeder Clip, and you will
be back to playing it on your normal length of hooklink.
It
will also come in very useful on venues that ban bolt rigs as you can
fish it with a running feeder, but still get the self-hooking effect
that a bolt rig would give, as the clip grips the line until a fish is
hooked.
If
you are using it with a pop-up then there is no need for any
counter-balance weight, simply place the hooklink in the clip to set the
required distance that you want your hookbait to sit above the
loosefeed. Or you can use it to make sure that a bottom bait stays right
in amongst the groundbait even once fish have disturbed it.
This
is going to be a big hit with match and pleasure anglers, but is also
likely to find favour with specimen anglers who want to use the Method
and fish very short hook links. This is one of those incredibly simple
products which can make a big difference to your catch rate!
