I wasn't surprised, it's just enjoyable watching them again, and again...and again. You can learn so much about it and how I use your knowledge in my own fishing.
Hi Jon this video is one of the best. A method that anyone can learn to master and on a windy day can beat the long pole. Cheap(ish) tackle that most can afford used to great effect. Great simple clear explanation of what you were trying to achieve. Just wish I was out there instead of stuck in bed! Bill
Not the first time I have watched this video Jon. REALLY enjoyed it again. Thought that your commentary was so helpful to anglers who want to learn and improve. Many thanks and tight lines. Eddie:)
Excellent vid as always Jon. Thoroughly entertaining and immensely informative. Even an old dog like me is learning new tricks, lol. Thanks for sharing!
you make it look so easy casting lol.when I am on the feeder end up the other side of the island lol.that is why I always use my pole.good video Jon keep them coming.
Nice little haul for a short session Jon, well done, with regards to casting I don't know what you think but I think that the distance you want to cast determines whether you use an over arm or under wrm cast. I love your videos as they are always so informative and you can never be too talkative
Jon nice video, I’ve just bought a 7ft and 10ft feed rods and really enjoying catching. You tips are always very useful for perfecting casting and presentation.. keep the vids coming.
Good economical fishing, zero bait donated. lol I'm in cloud cuckoo land, waiting for someone to donate one of those rods to me. Nobody in their right would give a thing of beauty like that away. Oh, start saving and get on the old fashioned way..... I enjoyed that Jon. And I agree that little mirrors are gorgeous. The colours are really vivid, and the scale patterns look as though they've been placed by an artist.
Another very good vid Jon, I think we can all learn something from you and I'm looking forward to booking you for another session. At the time of writing you had 6 dislikes...... What's not to like, those six really should take up golf 😉Keep um coming Jon because Im sure we all looking forward to the next one ( the ghost 👻 of Tunnel barn farm) 😂 😂 😂
Excellent video again Jon. I really enjoy them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge too. I need to practice on the method more. Inspired me to get out this week and leave the pole in the bag! I've got a nice new free spirit 9ft which I haven't used yet. Let's break it in👍
This just popped up on my feed , great video and so informative! Glad to have stumbled across you and look forward to more. Im trying to master this type of fishing and this is perfect to set me up for the next session
I honestly don't think I'm the greatest of casters, although not too bad on this session. Most of the top anglers I fish alongside are better at casting than me. However, I am much more confident and less self conscious about casting than what I was 5, 10 or 20 years ago and confidence plays a HUGE part in casting ability.
Top vid again Jon, going back to Mohmar comment, my Dad fishes at Heronbrook and people say hes a master at this style of fishing, on its day its quicker than the pole, he uses an 8ft rod and preston 15g elasticated feeders,now obselete, 2 inch braided hooklegnth, all within the rules there, land it on a sixpence and it takes some beating on its day, if u have any 15g preston elasticated feeders for sale then let me know cus now and again he loses one, tale care Jon and keep em coming pal.
Thanks Ezerdan. I think a little 'thod rod' at Heronbrook makes lots of sense, especially on the deeper lakes like Canal as it will help to cut out the foul-hookers you get fishing across in 4-5ft of water. When it's working 100% its such a fast attacking style of fishing.
Hi Jon ....can you do a video on how you plan/prepare to go fishing maybe two/ three days before you go to a match or pleasure fishing session....like a timeline vid. Cheers.....fingers crossed
Wet them then drain the water off after 30 seconds then stand for 30 mins. You can then play with the micros a bit more if they need more water. If you want them spongier and less sticky, do them the night before.
Very nice video Jon. Camera angles are spot on. You’ve become very good at the self shot stuff(some of the best I’ve seen). Can I ask what model the rod is, looks great. Also, are you banding the washers on? Thanks
The rod is the new Matrix Horizon Pro 9ft Commercial Bomb.Absolutely stunning little rod! www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/horizon-pro-commercial-bomb-rods?c=rods-horizon
Hi Jon great video and very informative, I have a horizon 4000 reel and I struggle to keep the line on the clip, the other day I probably casted 15 times and then the 16th it came off the clip and I'm on the island. I don't really want to wrap right round the clip incase I have to unclip, any advice?
I think you know what the answer is, as to stop it accidentally pinging off the clip you need to wrap it around or try popping it on the clip from the opposite way. I don't think there's another solution.
Greetings Jon. Another great, formative video. I have one question though. I too recently bought the same feeders (albeit in several sizes) but I’m unsure the best method to tie off the main line after passing through the feeder as there’s nothing to clip onto, unlike the hook length. Any advice much appreciated.
Sorry no I've never filmed any of my UK Champs rounds, plus that day was so hot my cameras would've melted! Rob Hughes filmed it for BT Sports though, which I sadly haven't got.
Yes I have lots of times and a short chuck is vital on some pegs where there is a pole limit, eg White Acres there are quite a few lakes with islands that are 17-18m away and a 16m pole limit. Here at Tunnel Barn some matches there is a 16m limit too, with pegs on High Pool, Extension and House that are just a bit wider than 16m. Heronbrook on Island Pool also springs to mind. Plus we have lots of feeder only matches these days so it's a key tactic. On the Tunnel Barn Veterans circuit in particular a number of anglers are winning regularly with good weights just feeder fishing, even on the 13-14m wide pegs. Certainly beats holding a pole at times.
@@JonArthur Many thanks Jon for the overview reply it was really interesting and appreciate you taking the time to answer. Any chance in future of maybe a video on prepping for a match or qualifier please I would find it very interesting 🌟
Great informative video Jon! Love it. I'm glad you do that counting down thing too. I do it too, I thought it was just me going crazy! 😁😁 Been doing some of this type of fishing recently cos broke my section 7 on pole😬😔🤦🏼 I was catching yesterday on those same washters (but the 7mm) 😉 Couple of questions please Jon, if you don't mind? 🤔 Can you use those bayenette things with hard pellets? If I'm fishing a bomb tight to an island or bank, does a shorter than the usual 12 inch hooklength work (4 or 6 inch)? Just so I don't catch the island as much. Big fish venue, so can't clip up😬😬. When would you use a flat method feeder over a hybrid/dura feeder? I'm finding flat method been working better where I've been fishing. Why would this be? 🤔 🤔 Keep the videos coming Jon. 👍🏽 .
Cheers Andy, good to see you on TV the other day. Bayonets and spikes are only for boilies and wafters, bands for pellets . Some people prefer shorter hooklengths, so by all means try it. I'd rather just fish a feeder tight across unless it was bomb and bread/popups. I think a method feeder introduces more bait and I actually prefer them for a lot of open water work, but each to their own. Try both if you use a good interchangeable system. All the best! (PS. ping me direct any more questions rather than via YT)
It's not something I've done a lot of to be honest, but it may have worked. I like a little trap of bait and a hook bait right in the middle, so the feeder is the optimum way to fool them. Although if I had a longer session I may have tried loose feeding over the top.
Jon. Do you simply loop the main line loop over the speed stop? With the twisted boom you have a loop, but the speed stop has a hole, do you loop it over? Thanks.
Don't you ever sit sideways to the water or on a slite angle, I've always sat this way when feeder fishing, I use a chair to,(I have got a box) it's easier on the old back Jon, great video as usual to Jon,cheers mate
No I prefer to face forwards all the time as I can then fish in any direction and either side. You never know which side will be best. Preston do a side footplate attachment for people who struggle though.
I have all sorts of models, but I think they were a Middy set and a plastic Thamesley model, but I've also seen Nu-Fish do some reasonable ones now too, which I got a large version of. I show them on my recent Riverfest members film.
Hi Jon hope your well, just wondering if you have done a video at all on identifying F1,s the one you caught at the end looked like a carp to me, still new to fishing but struggling with how to identify F1,s cheers keep the videos coming kind regards Rob
Interesting but not match conditions.Would like to see this being done in a match, but i dont think it would be a competitive method when match fishing on a snake lake
It works surprisingly well on lots of snake lake matches, although I personally try to fish the pole as I believe that's my strength... but try telling that to Dave Chapman who wins half the veterans matches at Tunnel Barn on the feeder. There are anglers on similar venues like Heronbrook that are equally deadly. The last time I fished Canal Pool at White Acres it was won by a feeder angler too. It's a nice skill to have in the armoury, even if the session wasn't in match conditions. I actually think I would have caught a lot more if I'd fished normal match hours, but this vid was more about the method and how simple and enjoyable it is than anything else.
I saw this for the first time three years ago and just again today. Thoroughly enjoyed it again. Great film.
Many thanks John. I even surprise myself when I re-watch some of the films I’ve done!
I wasn't surprised, it's just enjoyable watching them again, and again...and again. You can learn so much about it and how I use your knowledge in my own fishing.

Really enjoyed this Jon, interesting tidy quick combo and tactics for snake lakes, well worth a try and experimenting with, thanks for sharing 🎣🐟👍
Thanks MM 👍
Really great video to show how easy you can catch some quality fish.
Also showing that the last few hours of the day can be very productive.
Thanks.

great little instructional video

Wet them then drain the water off after 30 seconds then stand for 30 mins. You can then play with the micros a bit more if they need more water. If you want them spongier and less sticky, do them the night before.
Buy soundbaits sticky method pellets, soak 2 mins drain n leave to stand 20-30 mins depending on water temp but they never fail 👍
Cheers Jon will try that tomorrow
Nice one
Really good video
Thanks Pedro! :-)
Great video!

Hi Jon
Love your fishing videos. Noticed you twizzled your line before it joins your hook length. Could you explain why you did this please.
Hmmm not sure I deliberately twizzle on my pole hooklengths, unless you mean my figure of eight knot?

Milena Maric tie a feeder bead /quick change bead onto the end of your main line, acts as a line stop and makes it easier to attach the hooklink
The hole in the bead is very tiny but you should be able to thread it through that and then simply tie it off in a loop.
Jon Arthur Angling appreciate the response and great videos to many anglers....young and old.
Did you film any of the UK Champs at Decoy Jon? Would have loved to see that! Well done by the way!
Sorry no I've never filmed any of my UK Champs rounds, plus that day was so hot my cameras would've melted! Rob Hughes filmed it for BT Sports though, which I sadly haven't got.
Jon Arthur Angling, I saw the TV coverage, but they couldn’t get close to see what you were doing properly. What lake / peg where you on Jon?
Nice video Mr Arthur thanks for sharing. Have you ever opted for this method in a match?
Yes I have lots of times and a short chuck is vital on some pegs where there is a pole limit, eg White Acres there are quite a few lakes with islands that are 17-18m away and a 16m pole limit.
