Ultimate Guide To Feeder Rigs! (10 OF THE BEST) 

Great video as ever John. As a former team mate I have always been aware of your passion for getting things right with you bait or tackle and it shows here. Keep them coming please. Joe.

The twizzeld boom is brilliant. Combined with Will Raison’s fluorocarbon leader fished slack tip. Cracking combo

Thank you for this very informative video Mr. Arthur. I am writing to you from 'the other side of the pond' (California, USA), and I am getting serious about fishing for Cyprinids again after catching my first Common Carp (16 lbs) on a home brew doughball at age 13 in my local river. I am impressed with how the anglers from your part of the world have created such an art form in fishing for species that have long been much derided over here as 'trash fish', when Carp and the other large minnows are actually some of the smartest and wariest of all freshwater fishes. A relatively small but dedicated cadre of anglers over here are finally catching on as to the sport available to them for these tough fighters, and are starting to afford these 'forgotten' fish species with the respect that they deserve. I have subscribed and will be watching your knot tyer tricks video next. Thanks again. Tight lines always.

Brilliant Jon

Really good vid Jon

Always learn a good few tips from watching jon, i feeder fish alot so ill be trying some of these simple but effective tips 👍

Nice rig video Jon. Just in time for my autumn/ winter fishing 👍🏻

Thank you very much for the great video Jon 👏👏👏

Thx Jon. Great well explained vid 👍👍

Learnt so much John, Thank you

Very well explained Jon, thanks for the tips 😊

That was absolutely brilliant thank you Jon 👏👏👏

Great video Jon . Learnt a lot from this buddy 👌

Excellent as always Jon, helicopter my go to rig.

Fantastic video, john 👏

Once again a great no nonscence and informative video, thanks a lot for all your time and effort.

Thanks Jon brilliant video and just the information I need. Five years ago having tried fishing aged 12 and not catching anything I decided fishing wasn't for me. Forward 56 years aged 68 fed up with whizzing about on my motorbike I thought I would give it another go and I love it. Now aged 73 I am struggling to garner all of the information I need to , I am surprised you can't get a degree in Angling, so your video is particularly helpful. I don't doubt I will have to refer to it often but its nice to know its there. An example of that is I didn't know a Method Feeder had to be free running. Thanks again for such a great video Ted

very very good video John very helpful, and a very good insight in to how you do your feeder fishing, Thank you, !!o!! Thank you for commenting on my community post, i did better than expected i came third in the match, Thank you again

Great bit of tutoring John 👍

Absolutely brilliant video Jon. I will definitely be revisiting this in the future. Something I haven’t really seen before on RU-vid before hats off to you. 🎣🎣

Brilliant tutorial John learnt so much, you explain everything so well , thankyou.

Brilliant! The amount of time I’ve wasted unpicking my palomar knot to a quick change bead on the method, it’s so much better on a loop like yours! Thanks Jon

Brilliant, one of the most informative videos that I have seen. Loved it, thank you John Pete

Another great video. You should have been a teacher Jon ! Explained very clearly, and some good tips to improve the rigs

Very detailed info, thank you so much from a returning angler. Things have changed so much.

Best RU-vidr for tips there is out there!!!!

Cheers John, so many choices 😂 I've sent this to my desk top to remind me 👍

A fantastic video as always from one of my favourite anglers on u-tube,brilliantly demonstrated and explained.Thankyou very much for the video John it was great to watch,

I'm just starting out on feeder fishing, so your video has been a great help, thanks.

Brilliant jon

Awesome video JA. Didn't think i would learn anything. Palamor knott, defo start using it.

Well done Jon never seen like that before work well great videos jon

Loved this vid Jon...most likely will draw a feeder swim tomorrow...going to try the twizzle boom!

Excellent tutorial Jon. Very well explained

Hello Jon, Thank you for this vidéo 👍👍 Cheers. daniel (France)

Great video jon thank you

Another great video Jon, very informative. You really are a good company man, even your curtains are in Matrix colours !!!!!

explained a few problems ive had thanks so much will definatley be trying those

Thanks for a great, how to , video Jon.

Loved the video Jon, some great tips on how to set up a feeder rig and how you have adjusted it to suit your type of fishing including the use of twizzled line, I used to use a paternoster rig years ago when I fished a canal near me but I connected the hook length to the large loop instead of doing it like you did in the video as I used the large loop to act as a buffer between the mainline and hooklentgh

Thank you Jon , very helpful

Tip - if you're adding a twizzle to a length of line without weight, as in rig #6, then you CAN add a weight to the hooklength loop using an open paper clip or an almost-closed staple with a bomb on it, and the twizzle will be easier to create. Keep it handy in the tackle room when prepping your feeder rigs / rods, and your twizzles will be super-tight on every rig.

Excellent tutorial video. Insightful and with good camera work. Perhaps next video could be on how to attach the feeder rigs to "made-up rods" to reduce setting up time on the bank. This would allow rigs to be made at home and quickly attached on the bank? Great video. Thorough enjoyed it.

Brilliant video Jon, Palomar is a game changer for me. A much better knot, thank you 👍

Very informative Jon, thanks a lot

Ten feeder rigs. Boom!

Great instructional video Jon - on my desktop too now. Any chance of covering maggot feeder rigs sometime?

The sliding paternoster is something we've used for years for barbel and chub with meats etc. only the mainline goes through to the hook. If a break occurs above the feeder then any fish that will take the size of bait we're using will pull line through the sliding knot.

Brilliant, thx , Jon

Great video for a new comer like me. I will be practicing all of those! thanks.

End peg you have done it again brilliant video please keep up the good work

very good John

I use a stainless steel gate latch needle as the weight when I twizzle.

Brilliant.🤩🤩

Great video, what knots would you use foe braid

some great advice there

Great video Jon, those beads in the helicopter rig: Could they be used for securing heavy olivettes on river pole rigs, instead of using shot, or bristle?

I was a nibbler for ages, but I bought some of those matrix braid scissors with the green handles you are using, they're fantastic. Question Jon: what hook length lengths do you recommend for fishing method? My waters only allow free running, not elasticated. If that has a bearing

Open pellet feeder tbh. Worked gr8 for me that good this yr. Not bothered with others, on commercials ofc

Thanks

hi jon, do you think that a quick change hooklength swivel changes the presentation of the hooklength because of the weight of it, and do you think the fish can feel it?? thanks

Excellent video john,what size swivels and quick change links would you use for catching carp up to 10lb Thanks

Excellent video Jon. Which ones would you use for certain situations? What's your preference for fast flowing rivers etc?

merci

Hi Jon. Another informative video as usual. Quick question. I’ve tried to rejoin your members channel on a iPhone and it says the monthly fee is 3.99 as opposed to 2.99. Any ideas why?

Hi Jon thinking of giving up my s 36 for an xr 36 Pro is there much difference in the weight as can't find any info.

What is the purpose of a tail rubber Jon, typically used on flat bed feeders? The line seems to cut through it eventually. Is it really necessary?

That no knot above the feeder rule seems odd, as it would prohibit the use of a shock-leader. *Edit* Had time to go and check Lindholme's rules, the no knot or stop above the feeder rule is indeed still in effect, so it looks like I'll be reloading a spool or two with heavier line. I used to use the palomar knot all the time, up to 20 years ago, I really need to get some practice in on it. I find twizzling a boom to be impossible, tried following pretty much every video showing how to do it available on youtube, but somehow I just can't get it to work. But then I can't recall ever having a tangle because I didn't have it. Saying that though, with this and all the other videos and articles on tying these rigs, I'm utterly dumbfounded that there's a market for pre-tied running rigs, you still have to attach them to your spool line, and that's where I think people get stuck or slip up on, what knot to use (alberto/albright/double blood/double uni/double grinner, etc).

👍👏🍻

I only fish the pole. 👍🍺🍌
