Brilliantly made Jon and especially loved the Nick Larkin comment.. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been pegged next to him a few times and without being creepy (I hope 😬) watched him closely and he’s really smooth and almost effortless on the pole feeder , .. perhaps you’d consider venturing over to the Yare on one of the festivals one day and meet up with him, you could do a video together 🤔 “Jon meets…” it would make a great series…. it’s a great river 👊🏻 thanks again Jon , something different 👍🏻
Thanks Chris, I'd love to fish the Yare one day and any of the Broads. Wish there was a straighter road without tractors on it ha ha!
I love your videos. Ive always wanted to see an expert fishing the pole feeder, great camera work and editing!
Wow, thanks Jason appreciate that!
Really interesting and instructive video Jon, seems to be more and more flooded spells nowadays for sure. Good to see the little moments we all have like hooking the keep net! Youre only human after all. 😉
Glad you enjoyed it... even my accidents! :-)
Very informative spot on as always good haul john well done 👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Jon loved the video, interesting to see the feeder on pole. New ideas, can see my husband trying that on Lydney lake. Have great week 😊
Cheers. Have fun!
Whoohoo! Jon, its great to see alternative methods especially with the proof of the pudding at the end. I admire your enthusiasm, keep em coming please. I hope you do well in your next match.
Appreciate that Michael. Tight lines!
enjoyed that very much i live in NZ now but used to fish Reading district waters, remember those end of season days with fond memories, thank you that took me back years, I’m 72 now …
Glad you enjoyed it Tim. Hope you can still catch a few in NZ!
Great video Jon and some cracking fish there too I've fished a method feeder on the pole in the past and it won me a match but the way you've done that is brilliant 👏
I will have to do one on that tactic next summer!
@JonArthur looking forward to it already Jon
Very interesting demo and good to see your set up ...and great results. Dont believe ive seen anyone else cover this 👍🎣 cheers jon.
Its a very niche method but seems to have captured people's imaginations!
As ever, incredible video Jon. These are such high quality videos and I most certainly appreciate them. Very many thanks
Thanks Tommo!
Love watching you videos Jon and the enthusiasm you have for your sport, brilliant mate.
Many thanks Colin! :-)
Done some work in Evesham, not far from the river…there’s a lovely pub in town called The Outside Inn. It does a really, really good breakfast if it’s still there!
Thanks Gibbo :-)
Simple
But totally effective..
Worth keeping in your pole kit...
Awesome
JONATHAN
Many thanks
Brilliant video Jon really enjoyed watching this one nice to see you on the river and doing something different keep those videos coming please
I will try my best!
Great film, Jon. Thank you.
My pleasure
Great video Jon on a method I haven't seen used for at least a couple of decades. I'll have to look for my pole feeders now and give them another try
Give it a go! :-)
Neat method, used to do something similar in the 80's on the sincil drain and Witham. The difference was I used to balance the feeder or bomb and fish it stret pegging style with a bow in the line so they hooked themselves against the weight, bites were sail aways. The pole was a flick tip only so no elastic. Would use a peacock quill piece flat on the surface. It also used to work for gudgeon in the trent in flood.
I remember seeing that style of pole feeder many years ago. I even did a feature with Roger Wakenshaw fishing a tiny feeder on a whip on the Witham!
😂 Babies heads not herd that for a long time also not seen this style before. I love your reactions when catching, you really do love fishing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😊 thank you
fantastic method on the rivar yare for the big roach
Yes I think that entire region is where the tactic was really developed and mastered
Great video as usual Jon. Interesting feeder fishing with a pole something new ive learnt
Glad to entertain! 🐟🐟
Excellent session.
Thanks Neil
Nice one Jon, love your enthusiasm. Only really seen footage of a pole/method on still waters so that was really interesting, cheers. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid - super positive fishing with brilliant results, something different really enjoyed watching. Cheers daft lad 👍🍺🍌
Good to hear pal!
Excellent again Jon 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Well another great video Jon. I will definitely trying that method on the ribble when the weather settles down. I think it will be a great method on the ribble for the roach chub and dace on liquidised bread in the feeder and big punch on the hook the roach go to 2lbs on the stretch i go on average about 8ft deep. Once again jon great video and footage keep them coming tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍
Ooh sounds great, get on the bread!!
brilliant John ,top video from a top angler .Your by far the most enjoyable angler on RUclips, keep 'em coming please. Good to see your back to full health as well.
Appreciate that Dennis :-)
Awesome video Jon! Reminds me fishing this method here in Germany at the river Rhine years ago! Used a float above the surface as an indicator.
Glad it brought back memories
Quality footage and impeccable explanations with an affable air .
You clearly enjoy what you do.👏🏻
I certainly do! Glad you enjoyed and appreciated it 👍👍
hi John, thanks for your repIy live in France and 90% of my fishing is tackling the many rivers particularly the Seine and the Yonne in my area feeder fishing is predominant but also Bolo to cope with the deep and usual . During the summer with less water on big stick and waggler up in the water is possible but to get through the bleak😂( like sardines out here ) to the better roach dace and odd larger chub can be costly on the bait front . Tried feeding heavily with more hemp but soon as you put a caster or maggot on, even double it’s a monster bleak a Chuck and all day .
What would you do??
Sorry I missed this. If the bleak are piranhas there are only two boats I tend to use. One is a tare and the other is half a worm. However, you could also try feeding the bleak shorter with cloud and pinkies and then fish beyond them over potted in balls. They home in on any noise, so feed and leave that line.
Really interesting video john nice to see what to me is something new .
Good stuff!
Excellent video. Really enjoyed it & what an interesting method. Have heard about it but never seen it fished brill 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved it Jon, one of my fave videos to date. Something I've never seen before, probably will never try but loved it all the same...lovely catch pic at the end...well in mate...hope your health is holding up well these days mate!
Yes it's a very niche tactic for sure
Great film jon, never seen pole feeder before.
Its a nice tactic on the right day
Great film Jon thanks will be trying that method
No problem 👍
Great watch Jon. And definitely something different. Thank you. Have a great weekend. 🐳👍
You too Chris

Thanks David
Amazing idea Jon thanks for sharing this 👍👍🎣🎣
No problem 👍
Excellent 👍
Thanks. Great name Phil!
Brilliant Jon, best non-match video I've seen. Don't anyone tell me fishing's boring!!
Glad you enjoyed it Dave
Brilliant viewing Jon.
It’s a method I’ve had to fish a few times at Evesham, but always felt I was doing it a little wrong. I’ve picked up plenty of tips of this video. Great work 👍🏻
Appreciate that James, its something none of us get to fish much, but lovely when it works!
Really interesting video Jon, and you only counted upto 10 and back once !! must have run out off thums, Cheers.
😂
Great Video Jon
Thanks Pete
Brilliant Jon.
Cheers
Thanks Jon, brilliant stuff as always, keep it up, you are a credit to our sport.
Appreciate that thanks
Really enjoyed that ,thanks for the effort you put in 😊
My pleasure 😊
Loved the video that’s what I call fishing class well done
Good stuff Colin
Another great video Jon, I was willing you to hook a Barbel but those three bream were lovely fish along with the Roach, As I was watching this I had fb open and guess who has just changed their cover photo ?
Glad you enjoyed it. God help me if I hooked a barbel, the way those bream shot down the peg! :-)
Great videos as always Jon thankyou 👍
No probs Stephen :-)
Great video Jon, that’s exciting fishing, love it
Glad you enjoyed it
class video, many thanks for sharing
Many thanks!
Great video John and three cracking bream
Cheers, Im sure I could've had more on the day but it was a great short session for sure!
Thank you John this is brilliant I first seen this method on a video not so long ago I thought oh my God what’s going on here but you’ve explained it simply I totally understand it more now. Thank you ❤ really enjoyed this Jon
Nice to hear Paul !
Great film Jon on a method that works, great entertainment. 😊
Thanks so much!
Great video Jon very interesting way to fish and very effective. I do enjoy your canal and river videos. It looks like you are over your health issues 👍👍👍 take care and look forward to your next video 👍
Many thanks
Great video Jon, class act and great info. 🎣👍
Many thanks
A great lesson Jon, I will hopefully give it a go on the Thames next week
Have fun
Enjoyed that! Something different.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid Jon cheers 👍👍
Thanks for watching
Awesome video Jon!
Cheers SPA!
Great video Jon some cracking bream
Yes it was a great day thanks for watching !
Brilliant idea john that's something I've never tried. Great video mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
YAAAAAASSSS! Beena waiting. Doesn't disappoint. Is such a great method and would love to improve and play around on- loads of food for thought. Made up for you the fish played ball.
Glad you enjoyed it James!!! Worth the wait!
@@JonArthur club Xmas match next Sunday and I will be fishing the PF without a doubt 🎺🎺
Brilliant! The Leicester Sensas lads used to use this method a lot on the Soar Valley Winter League back in the day to great success.
Nice one Andy. Perfect for the Soar!
@@JonArthur Not my favorite river in the winter lol
Thanks john .Brilliant .I'm certainly going to give it a try. I'm quite new to the pole.
Spent years trotting on the Bristol Avon now in Ireland .
Its at its own on a flooded river but great fun. Have a good time in Ireland!
Like this method Jon and have even used it on a still water with great success. Rig wise you mentioned external elastic section, found this great when fishing for smaller fish, better indication, setup about 6in of 5/6 elastics and 8in of 8lb line tied between a loop and Stonfo. Don’t like using heavy main elastic so 10/12 for 20gram inline cage feeder and less chance of it coming back smashing your pole tip.
Good tips Peter
Loved that Jon! I've not fished that for many years but it's always caught me fish when I've tried it. I remember that Nick Larkin article with the elasticated quiver tip on the broads - must have been in the old Angling Plus magazine in the very late 90's as I was still in my teens .I tried it not that long after that I reckon and had twelve roach for about 10lb on a very out of sorts river Cam.
Great stuff! Yep I still have my old Angling Plus+ mags. Those were the days for sure!
Never tried that way, After watching your vid its something i will try for sure, Thanks Jon. That was some cracking bream.
Glad you enjoyed it
Impressed that you get your balls down so quickly in that cold water 😮.
😂.
Those stonflo bristle tips look amazing. Just ordered some for days when you have a ripple and terrible light!
Thanks for a fun video as per usual Jon!
Yes they're surprisingly good and flexible
great vid Jon,common road is good for this style.
Anywhere with a few quality fish hiding from the flow is good I think!
Cracking film Jon as ever and just at the right time for me too as the pole feeder is something I’ve just put in to my fishing
It’s a strange but very like able method 👍👍👍
Ps
10out of 10 for the info on the electric for the indicator 👍👍👍
electric!? Hope you meant elastic else that'd be 'shocking'! 😂
@@JonArthur
What can I say did you enjoy the zap ⚡️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Me and my spelling 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
cool method, never seen that before!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks
Thanks so much for that Danny!!! I'm only just catching up with messages after a bit of a fishing marathon, but it's very very much appreciated! Hope you're somewhere nice and warm as this office is certainly not today, ha ha. Once again, many thanks for the support.
Got to say mate you are looking well
Love the term"the gentlemen's rest" will be using this in my videos from now on. would you ever use this method on a commercial say down the margin?
Hmmm, probably not this way but we used to do it on the pole, swinging accurately up to islands. Thats gone out of fashion now.
Well interesting mate,cheers,see you at tunnel if you're going to be at the individual winter league starting match👍
Cant make that league I don't think but best of luck on it!
Marvellous John, any chance you could show us how make that elasticated section please.
Glad you enjoyed dit, the bit at the end explains how its assembled. Its a bit fiddly but once you have a go i makes more sense
Used to use a maggot feeder ( block ends ) for dace on a flooded thames in shield matches !
Im sure that'd be good but dace bites are a nightmare!
Another great video Jon as always. One question - how do you plumb up to establish the length of your rig? By float initially or just trial and error with the feeder rig?
Cheers. I just tie the feeder rig on with a bomb on and then keep reducing the length at the tip end until it’s just the right height for the swim 👍
I've tried on the Severn at Shrewsbury when the river has been fining down couldn't get my head round it. Will try again though
Best of luck
Ayup John ,enjoyed watching this bud very interesting method , now my question is I have a 10 metre margin pole , do you reckon I could use this pole and this method to fish for big barbel on the rivers ,I realise it will be chaos if I latch into one 😬😬💪
Yes absolutely. Margin poles are great for this tactic as its a heavy duty method
@@JonArthur cheers Jon 👍 what laccy would you use matey 😁
Jon,went to tunnel today, sorry u didn't get through today,I hate Coopers lake,that's why I skipped it.Anyway need some advice on winter at tunnel,today I bumped 2/3 of big carp or F1 I hit into,was using 12 to 14 slick down track,f1 maggot hooks and all small stockies no problems at all, should I drop to red and green silk?as it's still quite warm and they feeding I didn't know what was going on...help please
Yes definitely scale everything down. 12-14 is way too fierce now. I’ll soon be on 8-10 everywhere but 10-12 still ok short n edges.
@@JonArthur thanks that is what I'm changing to now and also changed match kits to single 6 for silvers festival Monday
I've never watched a video of fishing a feeder with a pole before would this method be alright on canals in winter down the boat track
Id only do it in heavily flowing water really as thats its biggest advantage
@JonArthur
Many thanks Jon
Good video Jon, could you use a flat float with this set up?
Possibly, although getting the mechanics just right would take a bit more adjusting and the feeder would shot the float, not traditional shots/olivettes above it. Id personally set up a flat float and a pole feeder and swap between the two setups.
@@JonArthur
Thanks Jon, that makes sense.
The river I fish is tidal and goes up and down by a foot, would I have to adjust the pole feeder rig for this?
Yes absolutely! But I think it'd be hard work adjusting the rig all the time
Hi hello John were you any we’re near boat lane Evesham ????
Crown Meadow, which is pegs 1-21. Boat Lane is the 60s
Am sure there was a 80lb weight from Evesham in a match a few years ago
It was many years ago and early season, two days running. Leigh Gardner broke it and it was beaten the next day. The bream are there but soon wise up after a few matches. Some massive bin lids in the Avon!
I hope you didn't count that partially nibbled apple as one of your five a day. Great video, enjoyed it
Ha ha!
learn"t summat there . thankyou
Good stuff 👍👍🐟🐟
Another brilliant vid Jon, I do look forward your vids, keep up the good work
Glad you like them!
Yes Jon i enjoyed it very good video and very well explained on how to use that rig you were using, Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
In 30 yrs of fishing from sea to course never seen that Jon outstanding tightlines and Cheesy peas 🫛
It's been a film I've been itching to shoot for a while but the river has to be right... or wrong I suppose! :-)
Fished it on the river Dee & Seven many years ago but not with elastic and a maggot feeder when in flood nice to watch the video
Nick Larkin in Angling Plus magazine! That’s taking me back in time 🕰️ - must be 20+ years ago. That river is certainly pushing through - great method on the right peg.
Glad you enjoyed it, yes I still have all my old Angling Plus mags!
