Fishing Gurus Underwater Episode 2 - Hybrid Feeder pt 2 

It is literally the MOST informative fishing video i have EVER seen!

Absolutely fascinating. A similar video showing how pole rigs behave in the water and how fish respond to them would be amazing to watch.

What’s great bunch of videos , love the excitement of the fellow ginger.

Brilliant episode! I just hope there is an episode where you use an inline free running feeder. I think you'd see more movement on the tip with that. Plus many fisheries around my area don't allow elasticated feeders, and would just be interested to see. Awesome though really enjoyed watching.

Absolutely brilliant,I've never really been that confident in hybrid feeders but seeing this film has changed all that,guess I need to go shopping now😂

As Phil said Jamie. Superb!!! Thanks for covering the whole weekend!! 🎣👍

Could watch these all day, keep up the good work 👍🏼

One of the best fishing video we watched this year

7:55 you can see Steve's hand shaking from the adrenaline. He won competitions but is still excited about catching a carp on a normal day, Lovely Chap!

Absolutely brilliant lads,probably the best fishing videos yet.👊👍

FYI blue light (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) penetrates water to greater depths. Red light (lower frequency, longer wavelength) gets absorbed more quickly by water and does not penetrate so deep. But at 12 feet there is still plenty of red light around so pink/orange baits stand out well against the yellow/green background colour (which is caused by algae in the water reflecting those colours/frequencies around a lot). From a carp angler who used to be a scuba diver...

Another brilliant video, a proper eye opener !! 👏👏👏👍

5:32 the best bait alarm I've ever heard: "its on its on its on" 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Can’t wait for next installment

Different level video again boys

Awesome insights! Like more of it! Thanks

Have to say guys , these have been (watched both) absolutely fantastic viewing! Not only for the lessons learned, but the edge of the seat drama. The 2" hook length was a big surprise and for one looking at the current "EMBED MAP" feeder, if the hook bait retention within the feeder isn't the most critical aspect 🤔. On a side note; I know there's talk about televising our sport, if you could have underwater (yes I know the logistics would make it very difficult) you'd be on to a winner! Love the passion, giddiness and presentation of the vlog...... Need more 😬

Another fantastic video. I could easily sit for another hour and watch that. Very interesting how they behave and how we can all be ‘done’ by that particular fish and never know…That’s fishing ey! Looking forward to EP3 👍 cheers!

Anybody else screaming change the hook bait???

These video's echo many of the aspects of the previous Korda underwater series. It reinforces that we all get 'done' a lot and see no indications on the 'tip' or buzzers. It amplifies the fact that you rig should be able to 'reset' itself. Yes, the wafter looks a little unnatural on occasions, but it does 'reset' the hooklink and rig if its picked up and dropped. Another point is that what we do with the rod and reel moves the feeder a lot, but when the fish moves the feeder it does not show on the rod tip. I guess that is because its not a 'running rig' and has no heavy pivot point to keep the line tight, this allows the feeder to be dragged across the bottom without any indications. The only way to counter this would be a very heavy feeder (3oz+) that really drives the hook in hard and makes the fish 'bolt' or maybe the Guru boys could try a 'running' feeder rather than the X-Safe stem. As anglers we like to think of ourselves as 'snipers', but we cannot see wants going underwater. So we are firing into the dark. Unless the rig is good at resetting itself all you get is one shot. Really we should think of ourselves as 'machine gunners' firing into the night. Ensuring that your rig resets every time is like firing lots of bullets rather than thinking your one well aimed shot is going to do the job.

great vid. thanks boys

Massive learning well done guys

Absolutely brilliant guys. It would have been interesting to change the hookbait colour on a different day..😜

Would of been nice to see method mix in the hybrid and a 50/50 mix of method mix and sticky pellet, different hook pattern, a standard pellet hookbait, A 3” hooklink, and the heaviest hybrid before jumping to the method feeder in the next episode, more questions than answers, addictive watch guys 🎣

Absolutely loving these. Keep doing what you do best boys, brilliant content and information, and loving the banter too, funny as.....Noonoo 😂🤣

Awesome to watch & I’m now thinking I need to try a couple of hybrids as I always use a standard method feeder.

Flippin heck guys. Absolutely superb. My heads spinning. So many questions as a result of these videos. Thank you! 🐳🐳🐳👏👏👏👏

Absolutely fantastic Video with again alot of new Insights and Thoughts about which Colour Contrasts in Hookbaits, Groundbaits and Pellets.

Amazing work guys love it.. keep up the great work top lads🤘

Absolutely fantastic, well done guys.. One thing I can be sure of, the fish will always have the upper hand (fin).. Cunning little buggers...

17.08 does that carp have steves pink wafter in its lip from the day before?

Is this a wafters testing video ?😢 Just wanted you to test a pellet more. 6mm 8mm. Matching the bait on the feeder makes me more confident the fish won't spook off like they do when they see a bright pink wafter. Do Love the underwater footage 😮

Very Very interesting, well done Guru Thank you for all the work that when't in to making the video's

thx guys, watching these videos is better than anything else on youtube or the tv, keep up the good work. 👍

yes! Episode 2! I was hungry for this! Thanks boys

It's interesting to see how spooky the fish were when the wafter was actually wafting. When the hookbait was stationary, due to the hooklength being buried in the feeder, the carp were more confident. When the hookbait wafted about unnaturally they were so spooky. Unbelievable footage Guru. Well done.

Just brilliant, well done

Great Job fellas! and as for Ginner, Quality Top Lad! 🤣🤣🤣

I use semi fixed, self hooking method feeder with 2 inch hookilink on carp rods. It's the best combo ever.

In a word...... Superb. Stay safe and thanks

Well done Team Guru. Fascinating watch. 👍

Brilliant absolutely brilliant answers a lot of questions I wouldn't have believed if someone had told me how long it takes for the tip to move when fish pick the hookbait up. This does prove switching hookbait is essential I do put some free hookbaits in my feed think it makes the fish less spooky. Amazing stuff gents thanks a lot be interesting to see other methods too. 👍

Would love to see you doing this but with a waggler set up and not a feeder, just to see the floats reaction to say fish pick up etc Obviously if it’s within waggler range from the other bank

Great content!

Just brilliant viewing ,so informative

Really enjoying this lads, well put together cant wait for part 3! Can you do a small section on what it looks like on the deck when you do it wrong I.E. using a bait thats popped up by 4" as its not balanced the wafter with the weight of the hook? Love to know what the fish do!

Another brilliant video lads, its great to see how little the goo shows, I have real confidence in the yellow/green goo, after watching this tho makes me think otherwise, I can't wait to see this moving onto pole and Bream fishing and maybe on the river 😎

Fascinating filming.

Love it guys, I'd like to see the hair length changed, it's all important for good hook holds 😉

Brilliant lads thanks

Another very good video, great to see what changes can do, thanks

Excellent vids guys. Changed my thinking of method feeder fishing. When is PT 3 coming out ?

Videos are great from 3 top anglers let's see more different feeders and maybe the pole and float rod action underwater Great Guys

Class well done

Absolutely brilliant wonder if you could do the under water cams if you was pole fishing

Love these kind of videos

I use a 8mm f1 orange spotted fin wafter with spotted fin 2mm catalyst or classic corn ready made pellets in a 24g hybrid feeder the orange I think are the best tight lines.

as a carp fisherman , i wasn't sure if this was going to be for me ,but , how wrong i was ,, well worth the watch ,, thanks

Great video would of been nice to see a smaller hook and a 4mm banded hard pellet and casting more often to see the difference.

Can you make these videos about 5 hours long please there brilliant 🙏

This is great stuff

Great video, super interesting aswell

I used to be a flyfishing guide here in Bristish Columbia, Canada. You might want to think more about what the fish see vs. what you see. Colour may not be as relevant as the UV spectrum that you don't see with human eyes and I am convinced from years of fishing at depth with flies that a bait that gives off strong UV have a big impact in low visability water and at depth beyond sunlight penetration. You can use a simple black light to see what the UV signature is.

Hello, when will the 3rd part of the film be released??? Very interesting and informative, thank you

Great video guys 👏👌

Another superb vid guys. Brilliant stuff well done 👏👏 (Think u av killed goo sales tho 😩)

they seemed to feed a lot more confidently when then feeder and hook bait weren't in the water, and even after a fish had been hooked and Steve was playing a fish, they came straight onto the remaining bait

great video team Guru! can wait for the 3rd part! Just one quastion: what brand is the tent you were using?

Nice vlog Guru guys

2 inch hooklength worked just fine. On both occasions the fish was hooked.

Would using a free running feeder show the pick-ups better than a fixed rig when the fish doesn't move away?

I love You guys. A LOT.

THX

I am curious what about some purple or blue colour ? What would have been the results!? Great production Guru!

CHRIST talk about permutations I sometimes wonder about a very small hook bait love to hear what other folks think kind regards Mr D

There is a fish at minute 17.00 with a hook with wafter on the bottom lip. Might be carp that broke the link the day before.

Nice to see & im glad the filming has been done correctly ❗️❗️ True carp Angler’s that have been around as long as the dinosaurs 🦖 Know the secrets to weariness and shy carp As for method feeder fishing 🎣 Even this approach can be adapted Guru are brilliant and well done 👍 on the investigation- But more is hidden then the eye with carp fishing 36 years experience All I’m going to say is if that rod moves a cm You should hit it 😂 Tight lines

Slide on brothers Thanks 🫲

I’m sure when you cleaned the screen that fish had a pink wafter hanging from his lip, is it the one that done Steve the day before ???? Thanks lads 😎👍

So should the baited hook be inside or outside er and i dont suppose you could try an unbaited hook experiment? 👍

For something like this I'd always use a short bit of braid anyone got any good reasons that he sticks to mono on this setup. Braid seems to have a lot of advantages when fished short and with tangles eliminated with the plugged into feeder element.

When I first seen the new Map flat feeders with the line clip, I thought that isnt going to work properly as the fish suck the bait up very fast and if you only have a short piece of line you wont get a hook up or proper hook hold, yes it will unclip when a fish is hooked, but surely you need that length for a proper hook up. Of course you will catch but more than likely to catch more without it in the clip. So after watching this underwater video, it has put my theory into practice with you using a 2 inch hook length. What do you think regarding the new map feeder using the clip making the hook length smaller, so not much to suck up?

I wanted to see difference between Wafter on Top, middle and bottom. Or wafter and sinker.

great vid seeing how the feeder works not such a great advert for Danny's Embryo specimen carp lakes as al the carp are tiny and not a great advert for the goo lol

I wish the couple kids would of stop laughing like babies👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Think a hook bait more similar size to what's on the feeder might work if it can be kept in the pile, the carp seemed more interested in sucking in the pile than one larger bait.

I see you guys wait for over 20 mins. Do you think that is a tactic most of us can use or is it better to reel back in sooner? Is waiting longer increasing potential of catching carp? Because where I fish there's a lot of breem edging in sooner..

what would be interesting is to watch the carp with the old emstat method feeder not that we use them anymore just a thought ?

Awesome video, very informative. Would be a bit easier to watch with one angler, one person in the monitors, to keep it a bit calmer.

For myself personally I have a lot of success with Marine Halibut groundbait mixed with anything that matches the water.. It'd be interesting to see how more confidently they feed with their senses than their sight? I believe they'd be less suspicious of a dark hookbait. Maybe one cast with the hybrid and alternate with a clipped up bomb with the next cast and back and forth between the two? Not to see which one is best, but to catch those more bruttier Carp with their knickers down.... They've seen it all before and know to avoid anything too bright!! But still have the option there from the previous chuck!?!?

I bet the guys at map are having nightmares now after watching this I reckon it puts pay to their new feeders 🤔 Win win for guru at just the right time

Not sure if this experiment provides a conclusion... brilliant insight though as to what we do not see in the murky depths

Best underwater channel for fishing try underfishing channel

Nice episode. Bad audio though.

If there is anything I can take away from this series, it would be the word "literally "

White size is the orange wafter, fellas?

I think the Goo was confusing them. Either they were trying to find the scent in the water column or it was too strong and putting them on edge. I would like to see a bomb and PVA bag.

Did Steve try stem with elastic???

Is it Marvin? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wow. Maybe use the goo first 2 cast and then dont use it just use them 2 cast to bring them in Maybe 😮
