As I've wrote about before, I like feeder fishing in Winter but am old school about it and use a Cage Feeder.
I like the way I fish but am also going to get up to date and try using a Pellet/Method/Hybrid feeder. I'm looking at what's available and like the look of Hybrid feeders the best, but don't really know what I'm doing. To me it looks like a hybrid would give the best presentation.
But bearing in mind I fish in 7' of water, would I be better with a pellet feeder? These look like they hold the bait in a bit better and to me looks like a lot of bait would come out only on the retrieve similar to a window feeder? Is that right or does the bait come out?
I will be using them with fishery micro pellets and probably (dead) maggot on the hook. And I'm thinking a Mini 24g Guru Hybrid Feeder looks best but I don't know. I'm concerned that they might put too much bait in as with a cage feeder I can use a 'low feed' groundbait mixed with micros and get a bit of a cloud in the water as well as being able to throw quite a bit of bait at the fish, but I want to experiment and get up to date.
Anyone got any advice or tips for this type of fishing on Winter Commercials?
