If you add 2/3 molasses to 1/3 liquid it makes it cling to your bomb/line and bait a lot longer and produces a nice cloud on the way down as well as on the bottom. Just something i do which works fairly well.
Jon always informative, just a quick question do you experience any tangles with your hook length being that long. I’m fishing 4-6 on a method and sometimes leave the hook length out to encourage bits, but it tends to tangle, any advice greatly welcome. Top videos👍
hi , i ve never criticized anybodies videos but have to question that rig , attaching the bomb with a snap link swivel the carp will be trailing the rig if it snaps above the swivel or am i missing something ? thoughts please matrix
The setup is the norm at this venue and many many others in the area with no issues. A fish should always easily shed a barbless hook, but I cannot ever remember being broke at the snap link swivel with 8lb+ main line.
@@JonArthur thanks for the reply Jon , i did say above the swivel and just because its allowed does nt mean its safe , i am a bailiff and some of the rigs we have found on tress and reeds are death rigs , obviously its a different company and there may be patent issues but at least with the Guru x safe feeders the line can pull thru the feeder so its not being trailed along
Hi John, looking at your elasticated set up it dont look safe compared to the guru version. If your line snaps the fish would be swimming around with your bomb. Or am I missing something ?
Matt its all about fish welfare. This elasticated stystem don't look safe. I have every right to comment. Rather than an idiot like you getting back to me id rather John himself reply back
@@rikkiegglesden5295 your absolutely right Rikki no need for it to be fixed, you can still use elasticated feeders thats free running,the guru feeders come to mind.

Makins, Meadowlands, Packington, Decoy, Tunnel Barn Farm, Boddington, Clattercote, Earlswood, Stockton, Barston etc. All big and popular venues and all allow elasticated feeders with no worries or issues.
Brilliant video as always. Nice touch, giving praise to the angler who thought of the double pellet. Thanks again Jon.

MajMat no need telling him he is a professional nearly every thing he does is right
Debbie Mess shuhs
John have you ever tried cumin oil on pellets in winter .
What size Is your real for your 10 foot feeder rod please
Would the carp have a go at the bomb with that glue on it Job ??? Thanks

Top videos👍
Cheers. So long as you feather the cast to slow it down before impact you shouldn't really get any problems.
Jon thanks appreciate the advice. Keep the videos coming.
Tight lines

Hi Jon is that an Horizon 3000 or 4000 reel you are using ?TIA.
The 3000 as I feel it's more like a 3500 sizewise.
Jon Arthur Angling thanks Jon, just ordered a Horizon 3000 see how I get on,
might get Horizon 4000 for heavier feeders later.
What hook size do you use for 8mm pellets?
It varies. Some venues as big as a size 10, but more recently I've been using the new MXC4 in a size 16 with confidence.
Not sure John about super glue on bait it's poison if injested highly toxic should they come apart.
I live in the midlands and I don’t know a fishery that will let you use an elastication system like this because it catches fish 🤣
Makins, Meadowlands, Packington, Decoy, Tunnel Barn Farm, Boddington, Clattercote, Earlswood, Stockton, Barston etc. All big and popular venues and all allow elasticated feeders with no worries or issues.
Cheers for that I will dig em out ,I’ve always wanted to try makins especially 👍
@@JonArthur Bet he glad he asked that question now. LOL
Loop mooch
, that was a miss Post apologies for that 🤔
