Hi mate ive seen on your vids you use a backlead whilst method feeding but also fish very slack lines, why is that? Is the back lead and tubing not sufficient enough to pin the line which is the the reason for slack lining if you do not use those two things, also with the method rig its in effect a bolt rig/semi so therefore slack lines dont mean alot?. I dont know im still learning but thats how i see it, unless maybe the fish route about all over the lake?
The flying backlead rides up the line on the cast so helps to pin down the few metres of line behind the leader, if I have a tight line to my bobbin there is a risk that this backlead could lift up off the lake bed and be suspended mid water (See Korda underwater videos, I think it's Vol 3)
I find that tight lines just spook the fish, a couple of years ago I tried one rod tight and the other slack line and the slack outfished the tight. Slack wins.
Oh okay mate thats kewl, ive learnt alot more since i last posted a message on here and have had quite a nice success on the slack lines whilst using back leads also. Are you bringing more vids out?
I do have one problem tho, how do you register carp running toward you with slack lines as it happened to me a few times now where the rig had moved alot but due to slack lines i wasnt getting any registration? having said that ive been catching alot more on the slack line approach so thanks for your help.

No, their the original Fox 'Warriors'.
Several years old but still going strong.
Tried other rods but keep going back to these.
