Knotless Knot
Add a small loop or quickstop to the end of the line.
Keep the line parallel with the hook and put the line through the eyed hook.
Rap the line around the hook and the line that is parallel 7 times.
Then pull through the eye.
Trim and tie to feeder elastic or create a loop for attachment to main line.
Method Fishing
Key tips from Andy Findlay fishing Lake 2 at Makins.
Double up the line behind your method feeder using a figure of eight knot. Tie the clip swivel onto the doubled line using a 4 turn blood knot. Only 4 turns needed due to double thickness of line.
Use a large pellet with small 2m feed pellets. Pellets need a minute per mill to soak then drained and left to soften up.
Tie a slip knot on line after clipping up - use a bomb at first to find distance.
Replace the elastic which comes with feeders with some hollow elastic.
Place a shot 8/9 inches behind the feeder to sink the line.
Use 6lb braid as the hook length.
Use Koram quick stops with a size 16 hook with a eye using knotless knot.
Don't tighten up your line too much.
Drop the rod before the feeder hits the water so you are not pulling on the line too much.
