Inline frame, feeder fishing. The bait is moulded around the feeder, not loose in a cage.
When should you use a method feeder?
Use it on commercials and stillwaters when carp and similar fish want a pile of feed with the hook in the middle.

It puts the hookbait in the dinner plate instead of a metre away on a long hooklength.
