On the pole line I like to feed a few offerings of what i’m using on the hook. Expanders for example I feed 2 or 3 every 30mins roughly. I am a big believer in using stand out baits and i do believe they work very well compared to using the same hookbait as feed.
It just gives the fish something new to go for, they take it out of curiousity and because they stand out you can get bites quicker i’ve found.
When fishing the method feeder I don’t feed my hookbait, whether it’s pellets, corn or boilies. Purely so the hookbaits stands out.
Everyone has a different opinion though.
