quiver rod

[new fisher]

hey guys,

i was wondering can anyone tell me if feeder fishing with the reel set to freespool would work, also i dont have a bite alarm but my freespool on my reel makes a loud nosise when it takes line so i will be able to hear it. i just want to do this so i can also then fish with a float rod aswell as my feeder rod.

thanks

Get a small bell for the tip of your rod, old school style
your method might get you in a mess if you forget to tighten up before the strike,

You can try fishing with a rubber float stop above your feeder so that you have a semi self hooking rig (if you get broken up the fish can still eject the feeder as the float stop will slide off the main line).
Then after winding in the slack switch to free spool if you are sure you can hear it, or with a small bell attatched to your tip like maddison suggested.

It's not Ideal but at least you stand a chance of hooking a fish before you pickup your rod.
You would be better off concentrating on just one rod though.

Personally i would not use the free spool

You will get into one hell of a mess is its set slack and you strike into a pound roach .

Put a penny on your spool with a tin underneath so as the line gets pulled off the penny drops onto the tin as goes clink

Or if we didn't have a penny; a spoon or fork resting on the line over a tin plate would also work.
