You have a really nice voice for explaining this, and a nice video to boot.

Glad I found you. Just starting coarse fishing again after many years and like the economical way you show how to use these techniques correctly. As said previously, you have really good presentation skills. Thankyou.

[archleeds]

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to explain the rig. I will definitely be trying this for the elusive tench in my local pond! Tight lines

[aarondonald]

Best explanation on YouTube, thank you!

I’ve scattered most of the lift method videos on the internet and this one is probably by far the best one out there. It has a good and relaxing tempo to it. Very straight to the point/clear explanations with great tips and tricks along the way. Perfect video voice as well. Keep tight lines up. Best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪 Chris 🎣

Thanks I really enjoyed the way you presented the video. An excellent way for somebody like myself to pick up useful knowledge as I am not an experienced angler. Keep making them!

I've used the lift method for fishing for 40+ years and simply love it. Though my shotting style is slightly different to yours.
Once I've plumbed the depth of the swim, I'd put my bulk of shot directly under the float and my _"tell tail"_ shot would be just a BB some 8 inches from the hook so it would rest a couple inches off the bottom of the lake. I used this method extensively when I fished for either bream or tench.
A lake I fished in Sussex was some 8 to 9 foot deep and I'd be fishing some 25 to 30 yards out. Once I'd cast out, I'd see the float slowly sink as that bottom shot came into play. Bites were virtually unmissable too as the float rose some 5 inches up as the fish took the bait.
Nice video.

Great video, thanks for posting.
Spent my childhood trying to catch the tench in that very lake but never managed too.
I'll be visiting again soon, and trying this method, as I've just joined up after a very long absence!

Good stuff Chris, heading out in the morning to our local Canal and as usual there won’t be much sleep tonight with the excitement 👍

A very good method for carp to, which I've used over the years.Again sweetcorn is a very good hook bait and as mentioned-you know for sure that if the float rises its a bite, nothing else can make it rise.The split shot nails the line to the lake bed and then you adjust the float so it sits the depth you want on the surface
So when the float lifts, you know something has lifted the split shot-hopefully a nice carp or tench 🙂

Great video. Coming back to fishing after a overdue gap and found this informative and well presented

I really must congratulate you on this video Chris. Started using the lift method, or "laying off" as my Grampy used to call it, in about 1982 whilst Tench fishing in the Cotswolds aged 12. I love Drennan kit too and my go to rod is a lovely Drennan Tench Float from the same period. Thanks for sharing!

First video I've watched that explains the lift method really really well! Will definitely be giving it a shot when I'm back in Ireland next week!

Hi Chris, just watched your video, on lift method.
The lake looks like one of Glamorgan Anglers club waters I have fished for 20 years, but not for 10 years.

[jerrykennard]

Really enjoyed this video and your relaxed style, please do more. Lift method is often dismissed as old fashioned, but works really well

[michaelreading]

Very clear explanation, clear and to the point.

Great Video! I love tench, and the Lift Method
