Method feeders are a staple among match anglers and, with a few tweaks, can also be used to target big carp, tench and bream.

The only changes you need to make to turn it into a rig capable of landing any carp that swims are to strengthen the component parts and increase the size of the hookbait and loosefeed.

The Method is perfect for ‘runs waters’ or for targeting carp in pressured venues that have seen it all when it comes to rigs.

HOW TO TIE THE HOOKLINK

Tie on a curved shank hook. We’ve used a palomar knot here, but a grinner is also fine to use.
