Cast in the feeder rod is exactly the same as casting the float rod but there is a slight difference and that is batting up that when we bait up, we need to bait the hook first.
So we bait our hook first, and then, we put our feed in the feeder. Now in this case, I am using a grand bait feeder and once we baited up, we just simply feel the grand bait feeder with grand bait,
And cast. Now as a sort, casting is exactly the same as float rod. Keep the feeder that half the length of the rod, trap the line with your first finger. Open the bail arm, bring around behind you and cast forward.
Now the difference now of course is we do not have a float. Our bait is now on the bottom so we have to position our rod in a rods rest an angle between 45 and 90 degrees from were the bait is and an intention that line until the tip is just under tension and it is just moving.
There, we have it. A slight bend in a tip.
Now, all we can do now is wait and concentrate on the tip. Because what we are looking for is for an indication from a fish that that tip is moving and what it will show is probably a slight movement on the tip. But then, when the bait actually develops, you will get a full bite which is a poor run on the side.
Some of the bites can be really violent and can almost take the rod off the stand especially when Carp feeding.
So you got to be aware and be ready all the time to strike.
Striking with a feed rod is relatively easy, does not much to do because the fish one supposed come around, the tension is already there. It is really a matter of lifting in to the fish and then playing the fish and winding in.

Oh, that was a bite that we missed that one.
