How To - Set Up A Feeder Rod Starter Kit
Getting started with feeder fishing is easy when you have the right setup. This guide will walk you through setting up your Feeder Rod Starter Kit step-by-step so you can fish confidently.
Attach your reel
Firstly, you'll need to attach your reel to the reel seat on your rod. Screw the handle down tightly to keep the reel in place. Then screw the reel handle down tightly to keep the handle firmly in place.
Put rod together
Put the two pieces of the 10' Feeder Rod together, ensuring all eyes are perfectly aligned. (VERY IMPORTANT).
Thread your line
Take your reel line and pass it through every eye on the rod, starting with the largest eye at the base of the rod and going up towards the smallest eye at the top. NOTE - It's essential you pass the line through every single eye.
Get your feeder
Once the reel line has passed through all the eyes, take a Method Feeder and pass the line through the thin stem on the feeder, as shown here.
Attach your feeder
Now, take a Speed Bead and tie a loop in the loop on the black swivel of the Speed Bead. We recommend using either a Figure of 8 knot or a Palomar knot. Trim the line down on the knot neatly using a pair of scissors.
Get your chosen rig
Take your chosen Ready Rig/hook length. We recommend using a 4" hook length, this is perfect for the Method Feeder.
Attach your hooklength
Attach the hook length via the loop in the line to the hook on the Speed Bead.
Secure your hooklength
Pull the plastic sleeve on the Speed Bead down tightly, firmly locking the hook length in place. Then, mould some pellets or some groundbait around your feeder and hookbait and you are good to go!
