There’s something special about doing things the traditional way. In this video, Rob Wootton heads to The Glebe Fishery to prove that classic feeder fishing tactics still catch plenty of carp when done right. Using cage feeders, long hooklengths, casters and groundbait, Rob delivers a masterclass in traditional style feeder fishing — showing that simple setups and precision can still outfish modern methods.
Throughout the session, Rob shares his best feeder fishing advice, including:
✅ How to load the feeder correctly and vary the amount of bait to match feeding patterns
✅ Choosing the right rod for accurate casting and perfect presentation
✅ Timing your casts to keep a consistent rhythm and build the swim
✅ Selecting the right hook style to maximise hook-ups and avoid missed bites
✅ Developing a feeding rhythm that keeps carp returning confidently to the peg
This is a brilliant watch if you love natural, rhythmic feeder fishing — where every cast, mix, and bite tells a story. It’s a reminder that traditional methods, when mastered, can still hold their own against any modern tactic.
