"When it came to fishing the method feeder I like many anglers struggled. It took me far too long to mould the groundbait around the feeder' and if I tried to do it faster the end result was a mis-shaped lump that was difficult to cast accurately. As a match angler who is always trying to improve my techniques I came up with the idea of the SPEED MOULD. It enables me to mould the perfect method ball time and time again at an amazing speed. Without my mould I would now feel I was at a disadvantage!"
As the name suggests the SPEED MOULD is fast and easy to use and works best with damp pellet based ground baits. Try and avoid using sticky or very dry mixes.
Here is a short step by step guide to help you: -
1) Place your hookbait into the bottom of the mould.
2) Fill the mould with groundbait'.
3) Press the feeder firmly into the groundbait filled mould.
4) Turn the mould upside down and waggle the neck of the feeder until it works loose from the mould.
5) As it falls clear you will see the hookbait visible on the surface of the ball, in some situations when the fish are really having it you can use it like this. Most of the time it is better to cover the hookbait. To do this just half fill the mould and give the feeder a second firm press. Now it is ready to cast.
To vary the meltdown rate simple add more groundbait and press harder to slow the rate down or a softer press with less ground bait will break down quicker.
