The slow sinker is a method of presenting your bait slowly through the levels of the water, searching out Carp, mirroring your loose feed. It is an absolute game changer in the warmer months, accounting for many huge weights and match wins on deeper waters! #matchfishing #slowsinker #coarsefishing #slowsinkingfeeder #slowsinkingbomb

I have an11 ft better than some of the expensive stuff caught so of my best roach in athy co kildare ireland
Had the 4000 for 3years had 100s of tench and carp using it no problems at all still going strong
Looking to replace my 4000 now and i cant say enough how good of a bargain this reel was years ago, had fish up to 27lb on it and always served me well
pozzz how many kilos can a man sit on the platform?
Don't know. But I know some well built chaps we have no issues at all on a box. Legs are very sturdy.
thank you
pozzz how many kilos can a man sit on the platform?
Hi mate do you fish it on a wag rod or feeder rod?
Pellet Waggler rod
Rigmate cost £70.00,This great rig board you made does exactly the same job but costs less than 50 pence,made it in minutes works a treat fantastic idea 10/10 mate.Thank-you so much tight lines and wet nets for 2024 buddy
Not really though.
Hi, what paint did you use ? Thx.
Just some standard neon paints from Superdrug 👍
Where can you buy spare spools. Cant find them anywhere.
Amazon or eBay maybe?
You are not able to get any parts from Sonick
I own 7 of the commercial rods- feeder and waggler versions and they are by far the best rods i have ever handled for the money, just ridiculously good. The sks reels however are just awful, its shame. How anyone can lump the rods in with the reels and say they all work fine/well without making any distinction is just beyond me. The rods are beautiful, the reels are clunky and lack the smoothness you would expect.
Hi there well just wanted thank you as when I watched your first video about these reels i then went out and bought a couple 4000 and 5000 and I must say personally they have been absolutely brilliant for the money. I also own a couple of cadence cs10 reels which are very good but for £120 I'm starting to wonder is it really worth paying around 3 or 4 times more for them well I think because I don't go crazy amounts of time,the answer is no. In fact I like the reels that's much I feel like selling my cadence reels and buy more of these ones! Great videos
I have two of these and there's one major fault.................the line clips are razor sharp on the edge and slice through your line without any effort.
Haven't had that, maybe a bad batch?
Thoroughly enjoyed the pair of videos on these reels - great to show that you can still get good gear which will copw adequately without paying high prices 👍
I could not agree more, he was a very simple man, but always said it as it was, and a true gent, thank you bill and thanks for everything.
Brought the bigger ones for barbel fishing. Have to say I’m a bit disappointed because the bail arm springs went very weak very quickly. Also lots of problems with line going under the spool and round the spindle which has driven me absolutely mad at times. Can’t fault the barbel rods though with fish to an ounce under 18 lbs
thoughts on the skcs pellet waggler and feeder rods?
Very good, have both 👍
@@MatchfishingTVUK a review of the rods would be great!
Totally agree with you. I've got a mix of 3000,4000 and 5000 reels plus 9 and 10 foot feeder rods,11 foot pellet waggler along with a 3 metre landing net handle and nets. In a word faultless. Initial purchase was based on your review. Have looked at the Impax reels and they do look similar ,cost more and only one spool. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Stay safe and thanks 😅u
what do you think of the rods?
Quality products at a great price.
Very good, especially for the price. A real bargain.
Great just what I want….. really good vid …well made
f0r me id have worn it under a fleece , next to t shirt for two reasons , one its nearer the body ,two your fleece over it would hold the heat in better
I have their first generation 10 foot commercial feeder, got on eBay from a big clearance outlet for £27, it's a stunningly good rod punches way above it's price bracket I can't see myself upgrading because in my opinion all the big brands just change the cosmetics, I reckon technology changes about every 10 years anything else is marketing and cosmetics. I haven't tried the reels. Nice review pal.
I really liked this take on the publication, Ive bought the mag on and off since the days when David hall himself was the editor, I don't know if it's nostalgia but it seemed better then but angling has become just another corporate industry with many of the once independent one man built companies sold to big corporate interests. I think sponsored anglers in one way they're lucky but it's not all one way, your a salesman and I'd hate to be a salesman because your owned, your honesty is compromised, bought shall we say. It can't be much fun being a walking endorsement for Peter drennan et al. Let's be honest the marketing has just moved to you tube it's the same old faces pushing product, There's some great content out there but it lacks character, I like the guy that turns up with 10+ year old tackle and cleans up.
How do you get the inserts out of the feeder arm? I've bought one but can't get the insert out
Loosen it and pull from the top, hard !
Great video, I'm currently on a 15 year old Preston X3 I got off eBay prior to that I experienced the dangerous footrest that you talked about, buy second hand but buy a reputable brand their is an element of you get what you pay for, I had the Avanti 16 meter pole a few years ago and it wasn't usable at that length but it was a decent 13 meter carp pole that was strong as hell. It so easy to get suckered into the marketing hype and like you say it's all about selling product these days usually products you don't always need. I've just got £1500 browning pole off eBay for £255 and it's more or less brand new, you must check a second hand pole though don't just walk away without looking at it.
Been using this method for 13/14 years. Something else you have to take into consideration is the amount of line the 'bubble' has to drag through the water while sinking. In my opinion you need more water/weight the further you cast out.
Bought one gilet like it, a thermo fusion brand one from ideal world and it didn't last me one year. Problem was the wires connecting the power button came off. Bought a new power button from ali express hoping I could fix it to no avail as the wIres were so flimsy so ended up throwing the gilet in the bin. Would never buy one again especially as most of what I see are cheaply made in china. They are great n warm when they working tho.
just wondering, if only an meter or so, how would you cope with 2 meters for the depth?
Wrap the line around the bottom nail and put hook on top nail. This gives you double the line to shot.
Thank you sounds good 👍
All good channels to be fair. I personally love the production and the likeable character of David Wood on Bag up TV. Keeps it fun and you get a feel of the whole day from start to end. Jamie Harrison is top notch too, as is Ricki. Some great content on YT. We are spoiled now with the access to information. 👍🏽🎣🎣
do u have to connect it to a power bank or can u straight connect it to an charger with a plug
Power bank
Can it be connected directly to a transformer?
A power bank 👍
Only found Bill's channel over this weekend. Watched a few of his sea fishing videos, as we've just moved down to Cornwall, and his tips and advice were superb refreshers for me. I then found his last video, and like you, it broke my heart. Thank you for this video, and sending love, thoughts and prayers to Bill and his family. 🤍
All what you lads have said ,and more ,a lovely bloke , God bless Bill !
Would it not be better to put the vest on first?
The foil lining wouldn't be very comfortable.
I recently got a Matrix Aquos 3000. They are heavy, and I couldn't believe how stiff the bail arm is. Excessive spring pressure in the bail arm. I took apart the bail arm mechanism to see if I could fine tune it a bit to make it easier to use. I often shorten the springs on my reels to get a lighter feel. Adjusting the curve in the bail arm can also tune it to operate more smoothly. OMG, the internal components are utter crap. I wasn't expecting that. Cheap spring, Plastic parts and a bit of rough cut bent wire make up the mechanism. Not just poor quality but very, very poor quality. Not surprised that they used a strong spring. It is to overcome the crappyness of the internal parts.
Really, that's not great? Do not have an acquos reel, but they look a little alike with the black blue finish.
@@MatchfishingTVUK I am genuinely shocked at the extremely poor quality of the internal parts. The cam rod that compresses the bail arm spring is literally a piece of 1.5mm soft steel wire that looks like it was cut with a pair of pliers. That fits into a tiny piece of nylon that is worse than the nylon parts in a ball point pen. The spring is cheap soft steel. This reel has Chinesium all over it.
What line rating is the 9ft 10ft GT bomb/ feeder rods please.
Up to 8lb mainline I believe.
The Dacron connecter bends down also before you make contact,the only one that doesn't is the spider! So for me this is cobblers! So then how do we catch on the waggler with yards and yards of line in front of us? There's an old saying (if the driver hasn't got his hands on the steering wheel then............? You could also argue that maybe the stonfo was a bit too quick eh! And of course there's whip fishing with a long length of line? My friend it makes no difference what connecter you use,you are the one with the hands on the steering wheel!
Fair comments Robert and the beauty of fishing is that it's individual preference! If it works for you, it works! Incidentally, this video is now nearly 2 years old and I now have a mix, having gone back to stonfo on some of my lighter top kits because of the faff!
Maybe a link to what you bought would have been an idea
Here you go, this is close...amzn.eu/d/cuOJ4ZI
A true gent .
Unfortunately the seaknight windrunner 111 beats it by a country mile £34 from ali express
Will have to have a look 👍
You said you bought the 3,4 and 5000 sizes but I wish in your video you had of put them up against each other so we could see the size differences.
Good point.
I’ve got the s36 great box … except for the clips on the cassettes … these are absolute crap, so much so I’m swapping for an absolute 36 as they are mag look 👍
well... compared to the reels I started with in the early 70's such as the Intrepid Black Prince, this Lidl reel is a luxury starter reel and for £12.99 it's a no brainer and perfectly adequate for Anglers of all levels. There's always been a degree of tackle snobbery over the years and if money is no object then fine ... go spend silly money on a brand name but these days even cheap reels are very good and not that much different to some of the expensive one's, certainly not £100 different !! but then, that's consumerism for you 😄
I started late 80s and think about the rubbish I had 🤣 DAM fighter reel with no proper bail arm, heavy old fashioned glass fibre cheapo rod with unlined rings that would catch the line when it was wet! Progress.

@@MatchfishingTVUK cheers, Thanks very much for your most prompt reply 👍👍
l was instrumental in inventing this method some 45 years ago. Of course the new materials used are different now but l still make mine out of a moulding resin. I never use water to make the floats sink l use the adjustable brass loading to vary the sinking speed. We used small ones in the early days for roach with maggot and casters. I enlarged the bubble later for carp and my floats outcast the plastic water filled models fly truer and are much smaller . I can cast in excess of 35 metres with a 6g bubble and being light they create less of a disturbance when cast . I fish them exactly the same way as you firing three or four loose offerings per cast . It was a devastating method 45 years ago and still produce great weights today. I'm very proud of my floats and really pleased they are still in use today. They were so effective all those years ago that local fisheries banned the method. thankfully this is no longer the case and are very effective at my local fishery .
Hi David, do you sell your slowsinking feeders please Regards Dave Shipman
@@user-kx8rw3ci3y l don't have any for sale at the moment l've concentrated on the floating ones for pellet waggler fishing but l can make you a couple next week. l'm just waiting for the brass weights to arrive.

Come up north blackpool to Whitmore get double figure fish all day on the colasium
Where's that in Blackpool near Blackpool zoo.
Good match.Unlucky with lost fish. Happens to all of us. I personally would have used either 9 or 10ft Feeders matched to .20 main line and .18 trace to12 hook. I would have also tried a pellet waggler since you were getting bites within 20 seconds of casting. I also agree with other comment regarding keeping your rod as close to surface of the water when playing the fish, it tends to confuse them and makes for easier playing of the fish. Well done thought.
