Surface Fishing With Something Different - The Top-Baiter!
A few weeks ago we received an email from a local company called Top-Baiter, asking if we’d be interested in testing out one of there products, we duly agreed and thought while we were at it why not film the session and show you all how we got on.
So for this latest episode we headed to Topcroft Fishery to see if we could catch a few fish using it and to see how it performed.
To find out exactly how we got on watch this latest instalment, from the waters edge.
As usual we hope you enjoy it and any feedback is always much appreciated.

I've been using homemade floating feeders for years. I also make my own floating maggot feeders using Drennan small maggot feeders, a short length of pole elastic and a cheapo crystal waggler. Great for fishing shallow maggot at distance.
Tip. Don't put groundbait in them. Mix is too heavy and creates a carpet of bait on the bottom, but you are trying to catch the fish up in the water. It defeats the object.
Only use fine media that creates a cloud in the water.
Yes lads,a very interesting video,but I hate to be a killjoy,as it were,the,term "fish in a barrel" springs to mind, it is so easy to catch on the surface in warm weather, its why a lot of fisheries have banned surface fishing altogether, I would suggest the old method of 2ft length of line coupled with a clear bubble float,chum mixers or bread crust would be just as effective as this contraption....keep up the good work though,take care, Terry G, North Wales.
Thanks for the kind comments, as always Terry. Hope your fishing is going well and that you're catching a few. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Always look forward to your videos, Well done 👍🏻
Cheers Daniel Legge glad you enjoyed it! Hope your fishing is going well! 👍🏼
Love the free toy it comes with 11:53 lol
:-D
Love this video, years ago I loaded a maggot feeder with ground bait n used to chuck that out, an with the big splash that seriously attracted the fish, had over a 100lb of bream that day, so been an got me self one of these n hopefully will have the results as u
Nice one Carole, it's well worth giving it a go - both times we've used it, it's worked well! :-) Let us know how you get on!
Looks a decent bit of tackle. Certainly works.
Yeah it worked quite well to be honest, the fish certainly didn't mind it!
These work a treat had my best summer surface fishing with this product best fish 28LB grass carp
Nice one mate! Glad you've had some success using the TopBaiter. It certainly worked well for us too. :-)
Keep the video coming love your channel very much appreciated by myself great quality bro.Alien
Excellent video lads. I get how it works with floaters but how does it release general sinking baits such as groundabit and pellets or is it only designed for floating or very cloudy groundbaits?
jason laverty Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. I think it would work with any baits, the water would force anything out of the cage as soon as it hit the water... definitely something you could test and play around with I reckon. :-)
Looks like a very clever design did the splash spook any of the fish u had feeding? also could this become incorporate in matches ie u can't fish floating baits could u use a sinking bait with it? also where can I get one of these please?
Great video and love your channel guys.

The splash actually attracts the fish, like a method or pellet feeder.
As he says in the video, its like a dinner gong.
Also, you'd be surprised how quickly fish return to the source of food even
if they do get spooked.
Clive Bindley 100% correct Clive!
Jen Lugg thanks for the kind comments, glad you're enjoying the videos and channel! I think we answered all the points in the video... like Clive said the fish are almost attracted to the splash, they come in to investigate! Hungry commercial carp do anyway! Haha. I think you could use all manner of baits to be honest, when the cage hits the water it would force them out. There's a link in the video description of you'd like to find out more about the product.
Hope your fishing is going well, tight lines!
guys, great vid.. nice little peace of equipment... Seems like it really works...
cheers from Holland
As always, thanks for the kind comments Erwin glad you enjoyed the video! :-) It certainly is an interesting piece of kit... certainly works too! Hope your fishing is going well and that you've been catching a few. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Can you tell if you feather the line on cast, I have one of these and find it’s releasing bait in the air , great vid by the way
Thanks Carl, glad you enjoyed the video. Steve might feather it just before it hits the water and the line clip, but in general a nice smooth cast should keep the bait in.
Awesome video. I love watching your videos. Definitely some of the best on RUclips and an inspiration to start making my own videos :)
Thanks for the kind comments Alex, glad you're enjoying the video's and our channel! Hope your fishing and video making is going well. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
From The Waters Edge TV thanks for replying Chris, that's made my day :) tight lines bud
From The Waters Edge TV Which Rod hare you using??? Thank
I seen these on eBay , advertised at £16.99 . It looks like a alright bit of kit but surely that price isn't right ?
I'm not sure millsy if you click the link in the video description it should take you to Top-Baiters website.
millsy they are £12.95 on the top baiter website. I don't know if that includes postage i doubt it. I still think thats a little steep for what it is though.
Mark Rayton a little cheaper there then . I couldn't imagine throwing something like that out being surrounded by other anglers . And it would grieve me loosing it if I did 😩
rip off
Yeah i know what you mean millsy. I reckon five or six quid would'nt seem quite so bad.
Would you use a carp rod for this or just a normal pellet waggler type rod
A normal rod would be ok mate, if not an Avon style rod would be perfect. 😊🎣
home made version search floating feeder, a lot less cumbersome.
They now also do a Mini-Baiter which is smaller in size - we filmed a video on it this summers, it's worth a look as it's much more suited to the match/pleasure angler.
What reel line is best to use when fishing the top baiter?
8lb is probably best. 😊🎣
I can remember when I was a kid sticking a cage feeder to the bottom of a massive fat bodied waggler and filling it with groundbait never actually landed anything but it worked for getting bites
Yeah thats it Dom, there's a few models on the market now which offer that, think there known as bagging wagglers.
Haha i been doing same thing with mesh pva for years, keep your money people
They'd both do similar jobs mate, for sure! One thing I would say tho... I'm sure you've spent more on PVA bags, than what the Top Baiter costs :-D
Hi , what reel do you use in the vid ?
Norbi Deritei it was a Daiwa TD feeder rod and reel I believe! I'll double check with Steve got you though.
Norbi Deritei looks like the Mk1 daiwa tdm
Trying to find one of these in the U.S....no luck. Any help??
Hi John, try there website... top-baiter.com
Hope that helps! :-)
U have a new sub
Thanks mate, hope you're enjoying the video's! :-D
Hi, great vid, what is the oil you used on the floaters?
arfurfox hake thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed it! The oil used was Sticky Baits Cap Oil.
arfurfox hake glad you asked that I thought he said cat oil
what are you setting on
Hi Kendrick, it's a seatbox from the Matrix range, I'll try and get the exact model for you!
Drone
Prefer a catty and a homemade candle
Fair play Ian, works well too!
I just shat myself
:-O
Where can I purchase one
Hi peter blackwell if you click the Top-Baiter link in the video description you should be able to get one there.
what rod is that?
Hi mate, it's a Daiwa Team Daiwa float rod I believe or a Daiwa TD model - I'm not sure if they're available anymore, I think they've been replaced by newer models. I'll double check with Steve for you though. Cheers.
See if you can get Reepham to alow it - surface fishing is the most exiting type of fishing 😃 shouldn't get banned
Haha, yes! Exotics, fish & Shrimp altho you could use it with sinking baits too. 😊👍🏼
From The Waters Edge TV yeah - you know the owner quite well ask him if he'll allow surface fishing as it's just as easy as the float there and I can't see why it's banned
I’ll bet you don’t use this, three years later.
We used it a couple of times last summer (when conditions allowed and the situation suited it) and the same this winter. (Testing the maggot cap they made for it.)

Thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed the video! 😌🎣
I made something like this about 15 years ago lol
Soulware3D Haha, nice one! Did it work for you?!
