This is the most basic feeder rig, My computer skills are pants so you might be better waiting for another reply or googling it

I use this set up. 11lb main line 6.5lb hook lenth with a banned 6mm pellet on a size 10 hook.

Q how long should my hook lenth be?

[Maddison_Twatter]

I think it depends on a few things, feeder type, venue and fish. For Rivers using a barbel cage feeder I use a long hooklength ( 18" to 2 ft) But for carp fishing in lakes and ponds I would use a shorter hook length , around 6 to 8 inches. Im still learning myself and Im sure someone one here will be able to give you more details for other fish

when fishing for bream i use 2inch-6inch no more ,carp 6 inch - 12inch,tried barbel fishing and was told to keep the hooklenth over a foot also caught perch and roach on the bream setup

What about if you don't have any beads?

You can achieve this set up without them but I would advise on investing in some. With out a bead your feeder swivel will be contantly battering your hook link swivel and cause it to become weak.
