Method feeder is a technique used in fishing where a small feeder is attached to the fishing line close to the hook, allowing the angler to place a small amount of bait in the feeder. The feeder is designed to hold the bait in place and slowly release it into the water, creating a feeding area for the fish. The method feeder can be used in a variety of fishing environments, including rivers, lakes, and ponds.

To set up a method feeder rig, the angler will attach the feeder to the fishing line using a swivel, which allows the feeder to move freely on the line. The hook is then tied to the end of the line, and a small amount of bait is placed inside the feeder. The angler then casts the rig out into the water, and the feeder releases the bait as it sinks to the bottom.

The method feeder technique is particularly effective for catching carp, as they are attracted to the feeding area and will often swim up to investigate the bait. The method feeder can be used with a variety of baits, including ground bait, pellets, and boilies, and can be adapted to suit different fishing conditions and species.
