These definately work. Ive seen homemade versions work in the past. Definately best to check with any fishery that already has fixed feeders banned tho folks.
Ps. If you buy map tks elastic u get 6m for about £7
Thank you for confirming this works, there are others that don’t think it will 😂 even though I have used them. I agree though always check with the fishery you want to use them on 👍🏻 is the Map elastic as strong? 💪🏻
@@WestysAngling certainly is and you get 6m, never let me down yet
It's not a Westys video without rain 😂. On a serious note, it is a very informative video. . I shall be making some of them.
Exactly what I need in this depressing hospital bed ❤
Thanks Matt
Are you alright Petko?
@@WestysAnglingI’m feeling perfectly fine but unfortunately I have tumour (benign) in my head , which is alright since is not a cancer and they are treating me with medications and trying to avoid the surgery but ye a part from that I’m feeling great just bored ❤
Thanks for asking pal 🎉
@CarpAndMore send me a message if you ever want to chat about it 👍🏻🎣
@@WestysAngling thank you Matt appreciate it 👌
This rig works great, I made some last night with elastic I had on my pole, the people in the comment saying that It doesn’t work are incorrect. You can cast perfectly with it. It doesn’t pull out on the cast because that egg quick change is wider than the stem. Take no notice of the haters westy this is brilliant and will be using it from now on 👍🏻
Glad you tried it mate ! There will always be people who are negative mate, water off a ducks back 🦆
So, please explain why what you see at 9 mins 19 seconds can't happen on a cast when the main line is pulling at the swivel and the tail cap offers little resistance?
@@takleteck7008 what the quick change pulling snug into the bottom of the feeder ? I don’t understand? It works fine I have used it all day casting to an island ?
@@WestysAnglingthis guy is really gunning for you westy 😂 must work for a tackle company that want us all to buy their stems hahaha
@@JohnBall-gw8cl The quick change egg swivel can't stop the elastic stretching out of the opposite end of the feeder though. Although the design allows the elastic to only pull completely out one way, this design allows the elastic to STRETCH out BOTH ends (especially on casting), thus stretching the elastic instead of compressing the rod.
My question is... what stops the elastic stretching out at the tail end where you tie the swivel to the main line? Take a look at the video titled "How to make ANY METHOD FEEDER ELASTICATED!" Feeder fishing" at 12:30 and he describes the same issue (that will happen on both systems).
Great tutorial film pal 👍 ive always loved the idea of an elasticated stem but unfortunately the lakes I fish have banned them😢 mostly due to fish care which is totally understandable. The preston version I agree is a death trap and its relying on the ics to do the work which doesn't always happen as we know. The Guru one is bang on and works more or less on the same principle as your version 👍well done mate 😊👍
Thanks Matt,
I am going to have a go at making these.
Barry
Top job as usual.
great westy brill idea keep going mate ta
Thanks fella . Good tutorial
What about really heavy cast...? That's why in Preston's mainline is tied to a stemp not to a elasticated gum, during heavy cast gum will come out from a stemp.
No this doesn’t happen as the tail rubber /sleeve stops the elastic coming backwards 👍🏻 it’s mostly for commercials this anyway so casts of like 20-30ft max 🎣 also when your casting the egg quick change won’t fit back through the stem, it will only pull out forwards
The rig works I have tried it today even on the cast
You are absolutely correct. This is very much what I'm saying.
great tutorial mat!
Mate those feeders on your site are so cheap ! Good quality too
As the club I am in only allows free running method feeders I only use free running where ever I go So although its helpful to some people I won't be making any But thought I would comment to let you know 🙂
It’s rare I use them either ! But the videos there for those interested 👍🏻
Great tip I will give it a try just to confirm I need stem from any Preston feeder right?
I’m sure you could make it with other stems but you would need to change the components 👍🏻
Westy are you selling these feeders? I would like a couple! Cheers Dave! 🎣🎣
Hi Dave! Hope you are well buddy, no not with the elastics as of yet
@@WestysAngling Could you let me know when you start selling them because I'm not to good with my hands so I would have problems making them. Thank you. Dave
Can these be used on fisheries that stipulate a running rig must be used?
I would be cautious and say no 👍🏻
do you make them Elasticated Stem and sell them on your website I think that's a quality idea you have come up with 🎣
It may be something I consider moving forward 😁 I have just replied to your message buddy 👍🏻
It makes me wonder why the so called big companies haven’t done this on their feeders
It’s probably really difficult to mass produce 👍🏻
You should do a fishery review for old hough fisheries
It is actually on the list 🎣
Gum line?
The Guru X-safe system does not allow the elastic to pull out of the rod/reel tail sleeve end of the feeder. This is due to the hole in the end of stem being narrower than the bead. You cut that narrow end off the preston stem, so the your swivel can pull out that end and stretch the elastic out on the cast (against the weight/inertia of the feeder), and pull the tail sleeve off. Why not simply take a x-safe stem (that works) and change to a heavier elastic if that's the problem you have with them. It's unlikely that a venue that permits x-safe only, would permit your attempt to achieve similar.
Your system would work if you kept the narrow stem end and used a squashed diamond eye swivel small enough to pull through the hole in the stem, with a barrel too big to pull through.
You aren’t thinking about this correctly the pressure on the cast pulls in the opposite direction, so the ‘quick change egg’ part of the rig pulls snug into the feeder it’s too wide to go up the stem 👍🏻
Mr I B , you clearly haven’t thought about this properly. I don’t even know why westy bothered replying to your rude obnoxious comment.
Tackleteck you are a 🔔🔚 what a damn rude comment, is rig works I tried it today after making some last night. Get a life lad
@@WestysAngling The egg part WILL stay in place during casting, that's not in question. The tail end swivel will pull out the other end and stretch the elastic on the cast. Tie some line to your tail end swivel, hold the feeder and pull hard (like the shock of a cast). Elastic will now pull out the wrong end of the feeder, albeit the egg swivel will stop the elastic pulling all the way out or just watch your own vid at 9 mins 19 seconds to see what would happen.
