hi, i need a little help please.

hey guys,
im new to this so a big hello to everybody!
i have a problem and i could use a bit of help. im going fishing on wednesday and i am going to be feeder fishing for the first time. i understand what to do, how to set up and the general concept of feeder fishing. the only problem i have is casting. i know that accurate casting is important and i have heard alot of people talking about line clips. i dont really understand what line clips are or how to use them. could anybody please tell me how to use one properly and maybe demonstrate with a picture please? it will really help me a lot and put my mind to reast lol!

also im using a basic rig, open end feeder freerunning with a bout 2 foot hooklengh, size 14 hook. im not sure about the line yet. was think about 4lb main with 2lb hooklengh.
for bait im thinking about marine halibut ground bait with hemp, maggots and sweetcorn. maybe luncheon meat too. i aim to catch anything but would be really chuffed with carp and tench.

so what do you guys think? do you think its a decent choice of bait and also rig?

and please could some body explain line clips too me aswell.

much appreciated.

Tom.

if its your 1st time feeder fishing i wouldnt bother i dont use them and i can pritty much hit the same spots they are more for the big lakes where you want to hit the exact spot every time :)
good luck

and i would use stronger line somthing atleast 10 lb on the main and about the same on the hooklength posibly use braid :)

cheers man much appreciated.

i have 15lb on the spool at the moment so i might just stay with that but use a smaller hooklengh.

what do you reckon bait wise though? will it be enough to attract a good veriety? never used groung bait before lol

yes its a good mix man sweetcorn works well as the hook bait

you should get tench fishing the bottom if that doesnt work change try poping it up as you dont want to sit ther all day and not catch

good luck fishing.
