Drennan Method Feeder Connectors

Drennan Method Feeder Connectors

Streamlining your terminal setup and reducing the time spent re-rigging is one of the easiest ways to put more fish on the bank. The Drennan Method Feeder Connectors are a brilliant, highly innovative piece of match and specialist hardware that has thoroughly impressed our team here at Gerry’s Fishing. This simple, back-to-back hook configuration completely replaces bulky swivels and clumsy knots, creating an ultra-reliable, slimline joint that elevates the efficiency of your modern feeder tactics.

The mechanical beauty of these connectors lies in their ease of use. Each connector features a dual-hooked plastic core shielded by a heavy-duty, semi-locking rubber sleeve. This design creates an incredibly neat, streamlined loop-to-loop connection that slides flawlessly inside the central tube of your inline feeder every single time. Beyond providing a rapid method for swapping out your hooklengths, these connectors allow you to change your entire inline feeder in seconds. This means you can react instantly to shifting conditions by changing your feeder size, or switching from a Method feeder to an inline Pellet feeder, without ever having to cut your line or tie a new knot.

Examples of Where to Use

• Fast-Paced Commercial Match Sessions: The absolute premier choice when you need to react instantly to how fish are feeding. If the fish back off a Method feeder, you can slide off the rubber sleeve, unhook the feeder, and slide on a Pellet feeder in under five seconds to adapt your presentation.

• Targeting Commercial Carp and F1s: Perfect for rapid hooklength replacement when your fine-wire hook gets blunted by a fish or rubbed against gravel. You can pop a fresh pre-tied hooklength onto the connector and be back in the water immediately.

• Precision Specialist Tench & Bream Campaigns: Ideal for clean, streamlined setups on large gravel pits. The slimline rubber sleeve sits flush inside the feeder nose, eliminating unnecessary bulk and creating a neat, self-hooking bolt rig effect.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Pro Tip: To create a perfectly safe and highly efficient semi-fixed bolt rig, make sure you pull the rubber sleeve of the connector firmly into the base of your Drennan inline feeder until it clicks or seats tightly. When a carp or big bream picks up your bait and bolts, the resistance of the wedged connector against the weight of the feeder drives the hook point home instantly. However, if your main line happens to break during a fight, the connector is engineered to pull free from the feeder sleeve with ease, allowing the heavy weight to slide safely off the line and ensuring the fish is never left towing a dangerous anchor!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can these connectors be used with other brands of inline feeders?

A: While these connectors are engineered precisely to match the internal diameter of the Drennan inline feeder range (such as the Drennan 25g and 35g Method feeders), they will also work perfectly with many other modern inline feeders on the market that utilize a standard international internal tracking tube.

Q: Will the rubber sleeve slide off or release my hooklength during a heavy cast?

A: Not at all. The rubber sleeve is molded from a high-tensile, heavy-duty polymer that features an internal locking recess. Once you slide the sleeve forward over the back-to-back hooks, it firmly clicks into place. It requires a deliberate, manual pinch-and-pull action from your fingers to release it, ensuring it can never accidentally slide open during a powerhouse cast or an intense battle.

Q: Do I need to use a specific knot to attach my main line to the connector?

A: To use the quick-change feature to its full potential, you should tie a neat, strong Figure-of-Eight Loop Knot at the tag end of your mainline and your hooklength. This allows you to simply loop the lines over the respective back-to-back hooks of the connector before securing them with the rubber sleeve, eliminating the need for complex twists or knots on the bank.
