LIVE MATCH - Can I master the slow sinker (Finally)?? 

l was instrumental in inventing this method some 45 years ago. Of course the new materials used are different now but l still make mine out of a moulding resin. I never use water to make the floats sink l use the adjustable brass loading to vary the sinking speed. We used small ones in the early days for roach with maggot and casters. I enlarged the bubble later for carp and my floats outcast the plastic water filled models fly truer and are much smaller . I can cast in excess of 35 metres with a 6g bubble and being light they create less of a disturbance when cast . I fish them exactly the same way as you firing three or four loose offerings per cast . It was a devastating method 45 years ago and still produce great weights today. I'm very proud of my floats and really pleased they are still in use today. They were so effective all those years ago that local fisheries banned the method. thankfully this is no longer the case and are very effective at my local fishery .

Good match.Unlucky with lost fish. Happens to all of us. I personally would have used either 9 or 10ft Feeders matched to .20 main line and .18 trace to12 hook. I would have also tried a pellet waggler since you were getting bites within 20 seconds of casting. I also agree with other comment regarding keeping your rod as close to surface of the water when playing the fish, it tends to confuse them and makes for easier playing of the fish. Well done thought.

Nice if you did a video showing to fish sinker, feeding? How long left before reeling in? Hardly any videos on this Style of fishing!

Good effort mate. It’s a method you must practice and practice. All about the feeding and the casting and getting into a rhythm Also don’t worry about line and hook. Size 12. 0.22. No messing.

Well done! It’s good to try something new because you never know until you try. Don’t beat yourself up about what might have been over the ones you lost as I bet the guy who won the section lost one or two also. Your time will come. Trust me on that. 😉👍

Come up north blackpool to Whitmore get double figure fish all day on the colasium

Hi mate do you fish it on a wag rod or feeder rod?

We’re these caught on the drop through the water ie within 30 seconds of casting in or were they on the bottom 👍

Love the action of the rod Mate what rod is it please Thanks
