I think people miss the point with feeding and rely too much on presentation.. Some anglers fish ridiculously light and then get seen off with anything proper. I use doubled over .12mm diam and double bulk shot the rig with number 8 shot a few inches from the hook. Crude as fcuk but my method of feeding gets so many fish competing for the feed that they lose their caution if they they ever had any.
Like Ive always said, fish do not know what hooks look like so theres no point in fish too small. They know what hooks taste like so you need to alter the rig to capitalise on bite detection and seeing the bait being sucked in instead of seeing it spat out. When i see people balling their peg it just goes against everything we know about feeding.. and where everyone does it in a line..good pegs are always end pegs..Presentation means nothing as with most set ups you seldom know what is going on with the hook bait because they have been designed for cosmetic purposes that most fish dont share. Feeding is the most difficult thing to learn.. rig making you can learn in a few minutes
