Preparation feeder for fishing. Feeder Fishing - Useful Tips for a Newbie

For centuries, experienced anglers fished with the help of the famous Donkey. Bottom gear was very popular among many fishermen in different parts of the world.

Fishing with the help of a donkey is a very interesting and entertaining exercise, which brought many unforgettable impressions to anglers, and, most importantly, served to catch real trophies. The years went by, people invented new gear, modernized old ones.

In this way, in the fishing world, a new modern tackle appeared - the feeder, which is a converted and improved donk that allows you to fish as well as donk, but more functionally and quickly. A lot of books and magazines were released about this gear, a huge number of videos were shot and articles were published. What makes it unique and how can a novice fisherman learn how to fish with the help of the famous feeder gear? Everything in order.

The main difference is the new gear presence of hypersensitive tip, which plays the role of a poklyovka alarm, as well as the use of new feeder feeders, allowing to attract a large number of fish to the gear. The name comes from the English feed, which means to feed, lure.

Feeder tackle differs from traditional spinning in the presence of a large number of crossing ringswhich are placed on small holders. Also this tackle has replaceable tops which intend for catching on feeding troughs with a different weight and serve as a signaling device.

Detailed information about the features of the design of feeder gear and the principle of its work can be viewed in the following video.

Assembly gear

In the modern world, in the era of special accessibility of information, it is not difficult to find a lot of video fishing on feeders, in which professional anglers tell about all the intricacies of this type of fishing, collecting gear and fishing techniques.

There are several types of feeder equipment. The principle of the device is common - this is the feeder, which happens different types and sizes   and a leash with a hook.

Different tooling method of fixing the main components:

  • light - easy;
  • medium - medium;
  • heavy - heavy.

There are separate subclasses, such as ultra light and super heavyWhich intends for fishing on equipment of the big weight and for fulfillment of distant casts.

Much of the anglers prefer the middle class medium. The fact is that feeders of this class are considered the most versatile gearsuitable for fishing in the most common conditions. Feeder can be used almost everywhere and always. That is why this type of feeder is considered an ideal solution for beginner anglers who are just starting to fish.

When choosing a feeder gear, it is very important to consider the test rod. At its core, it corresponds to the selected class. In the case of the middle class, the rod test is most often 40–80 grams. Accordingly, light - up to 40 grams, and heavy from 80 grams.

Feeder gear includes 3–4 individual modular parts, which in general are 2–4.5 meters long. The tip of the rod has a characteristic bright color and serves as a bite detector.

The length of the feeder is chosen strictly in accordance with the conditions of the fishing place where fishing will take place. If we are talking about fishing on large lakes with the need for long-distance casts, you need choose long rods   and vice versa.

Unlike spinning tackle, the feeder supports work with only one type of reel - instantaneous. As a coil you can use traditional spinning models, although it is best to pay attention to specially prepared reels that are meant for match fishing.

Another very important factor when collecting a feeder is the choice of fishing line. For fishing using this gear, you can use the usual braided or monofilament line. If you prefer the latter, then you should pay attention to models with a diameter of 0.16–0.2 mm for catching small fish and 0.2–0.25 for catching larger fish.

Also worth pick a good leash   and no less high-quality hooks with a sharp, and most importantly, sensitive tip.

In general, the collection of feeder gear - a process, though difficult, but understandable. In addition, on the web you can find various videos and instructions that will help you do this in a short time.

Feeder for feeder and bait

After completing the training gear should proceed to the preparation of bait. At its core, this stage is most important and responsible, as the further catch may depend on the correct bait mixture.

Even a well-chosen place cannot provide the angler with a good bite during fishing. And all because even if the fish is in the selected area of ​​the reservoir, it still needs to be properly fed and made to stay in the right place.

As a bait for fishing with a feeder you can use cake or different porridge. You can also pay attention to the ready-made bait mixes that are sold in fishing stores. But, as in the home, and in the purchased bait you need to add a small amount of bait. It is best to use chopped worms or bloodworms.

Cooking bait for fishing is a whole science. Every seasoned donkey fisherman has his own unique secrets of cooking bait. You can also get acquainted with them by watching various workshops and videos. And of course, do not forget to experiment and invent new baits themselves.

But it is worth remembering that the composition of the bait may be affected by some factors:

  • water flow;
  • bottom type and color;
  • the location of the fish.

After you cook the bait, you need it. place in a special feederthat delivers the mixture at the right time.

Feeders for the feeder play the role of a bait transporter and deliver the bait mixture directly to the fish. If you follow all the rules, the feeder will become a powerful tool for attracting and keeping fish in one place for a long time.

Feeder for beginners video

Remember, if you are not completely sorted out with one of the elements of fishing at the feeder, you will have access to a huge catalog of educational videos, articles, workshops and other useful content that will help you learn all the intricacies of catching in fast time.

Feeding with feeder gear is quite interesting and exciting experience. Even if you are a novice fisherman, it will be quite easy to master this type of fishing.

Before you throw the tackle into the water you need find a "good" place. Then study the type of bottom, its relief and color. It is also worth considering the strength and direction of the flow. Well, only after that you can move on to mixing the bait mixture.

If you use shop bait, then you need to wait 20–30 minutes for it to get the desired shape and structure. Then in small portions to her need add water   and mix thoroughly the entire mixture.

Before you make a cast carefully check the feeder readiness, the operation of the detector and other points. And yet, if you want to fully learn all the features of feeder fishing for beginners, but you do not have time to read long articles just watch the training videos, and start fishing!

Summer carp for picker

Andrey Dumchev continues to share his experience in carp fishing. This time he catches on a commercial pond near Moscow.

Picker is a feeder up to 3.3m long. It is used for fishing at short distances. As a rule, pickers have a small dough (up to 60 grams) and good sensitivity. So carp fishing gives an unforgettable experience when using such an elegant tackle.

In July it is hot, but it is a pity to part with it, in July it is stuffy, and it is boring to part with it.

For fans of fishing this month is one of the best. And although the weather is really very hot, but fishing is the best. Warm nights allow for several days on the pond, combining catch and rest, charged with energy and impressions for the whole year.

Video clips about feeder fishing and other types of fishing were filmed in July. Today we publish only a small part of what is published in July.

Video: how to catch a large bream on a river?

The choice and kneading of bait, additives in the bait, kneading, nozzles, measuring the depth and tactics of fishing - all this is stated in simple and understandable language. Information will be useful to almost all anglers.

Feeder on the gums in the summer of 2017

Summer is the time of multi-day fishing with night fishing. In today's video, Vladimir Nikolaev shares his experience of fishing at night. The Desna River is one of the most beautiful rivers with picturesque banks.

The gum has a fast flowing, changeable channel and a difficult bottom relief. All this requires a great skill from the angler for successful fishing.

The best video about feeder for May 2017

The weather was great for fishing, but the ban began. And until June 15-30 there are a number of restrictions on catching. But on the feeder they use one hook and catching such tackle is allowed in many parts of the reservoirs even in the ban.

Today we present to your attention a video about fishing in May on reservoirs, lakes, rivers (Don, Volga) and training videos that will be of interest to feeder lovers.

Catching carp and crucian carp on the Moscow River in May from Andrey Dumchev

Successfully catching carp can be not only on a paid pond. The main thing to choose a suitable reservoir, the right place for fishing and good bait. Although Andrei came to the upper Moskva River with the goal of catching roach and podleschikov, but in the end caught some excellent crucians and carps.

The air temperature in mid-April jumped from -5 to +10. Water, respectively, could not warm enough. A dace already began to peck, but did this very unpredictable. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how Vitali is looking for an approach to low-activity spring fish.

The best video about feeder for April 2017

April is a transitional month. If its beginning is more like winter, then before the May holidays comes the real spring. Flowering trees, budding, green grass and birds singing - all this gives April.

And of course waking up fish, which can already please with an active bite. Many fans of the feeder have already managed to get a good bite in April and shared their experiences on the video. The best video we publish today.

Why is it better to study the bottom fan?

Lovers of the feeder often measure the bottom in one direction - in front of him. And because of this, according to Vitaly Kolganov, it can be a bad bite.

It will be more correct to study the bottom with a fan, throwing a small weight in different directions and forming an idea of ​​the bottom of the reservoir. In the video, Vitali measures himself first, as most feeders do, in one direction, and then with the help of an echo sounder, he shows that the fan method of studying is more effective.

Feeder   - this is a very mined tackle, while spinningists, floaters and many other fans of fishing can not catch fish or catch it quite a bit, feeder equipment is able to get fish from great depths and long distances.

The advantage of the feeder over other gear in point feeding the bottom water and catching fish at one point, but despite this, many feeder players lead the wrong way. This article is about the most basic key points of the right fidera.

The main secrets of fishing for feeder

  1. Use the marker float to quickly determine the topography of the bottom before catching. Catching on the edges, slopes and cliffs is often much more promising than in shallow water or relief with a flat bottom.
  2. The place where you are going to catch you need to feed a lot of casts load-feeders. It is not enough one throwing with densely packed porridge in a feeding trough. Feed when hit on the bottom and abruptly snatch the tip of the rod should be released from the feeder. Thanks to this, after 10–15 point casts you will have an ideally primed place, to which, under the condition of the current, a large number of fish will gather very quickly.
  3. Use a stopper on the spool coil.   After the first casting, immediately after landing the feeder in the water, cover the shackle of the forest laying machine so that the fishing line will stop floating with the spool. After this, start the line for the stopper on the spool. This will allow throwing horizontal coordinates to the same place on the next cast - to throw exactly to the place where the stopper is. Thus, you will lure one place - the perfect prikormochny place.
  4. When fishing in a pond with an oozy bottom   keep in mind that a heavy trough can easily sink in a layer of silt, so either pick up troughs with wide sides, or use long leashes to prevent the nozzle from sinking along with the trough. The best effect will give the use of both methods.
  5. In the prikormochnoy mixture must be elements that you will use as bait.   Chopped worm, maggots, bloodworms, corn, barley - if you use these attachments on the hook, then add them to the bait. The fish will grab your hook with the least fear.
  6. The tip of the rod should be very sensitive.   If he is not sensitive enough, do not pull the line too tightly. Give a very small slack and then during the bite the fishing line will stretch and you will understand that the fish pecked. If the fish feels strong resistance from your hard tip during the bite, it is likely that it will spit out the nozzle.
  7. - Great flood option for catching on the feeder. The fish does not notice the danger and grabs the bait without hesitation.

    In addition to proper equipment, it is important to properly feed the place. Expect bites without multiple feedings castings will not give a really good result.

How to catch on feeder: 10 laws of successful fishing

Good afternoon, dear readers. Many of you have already heard, and many have already caught on such a fishing tackle as a feeder, or the English bottom fishing pole. Getting the experience of owning this gear, every white fish hunter is aware of its effectiveness and, if you please, aesthetics. The feeder eventually gains more and more fans of fishing enthusiasts. I would like to devote this article to fishers who begin with their feeder path and those who want to try to catch this beautiful, catchy tackle.

I did not just mention the different interpretations of this method of fishing from different anglers. I would like to present you the only correct and correct interpretation of the feeder, the approach to fishing, nuances, etc. So, the feeder is caught all the white fish that feeds from the bottom and not only: bream, carp, crucian carp, roach, carp, chub , gustera, ide, etc.

Just want to say that in this article there will be more general introductory postulates, without which it is useless to start catching on this tackle. In the following materials I will examine in more detail the methods of catching various types of fish, different tooling and tactics. Now let's start with the most important - the foundation of the feeder.

In general, the beginning of the history of this method of fishing is considered to be the 70s of the last century, when in England float anglers began to try to fish, throwing equipment with primitive feeders on the center of the river. Sometimes it caused ridicule, but later, when the result was visible, they began to look at the feeder. Of course, that method of fishing had little in common with today's feeder and was more like our, if you will allow, native Russian Donkeys, but this story had a continuation. Later in England, the feeder began to be developed, inventing variations of feeders, snap-ins, and most importantly, special rods, which had a bite indicator at the tip of the rod. And here it is worth making a very important digression and transfer to our country.

In the USSR and Russia, fishing for bottom tackles was practiced for a long time (L. P. Sabaneev wrote about this), but the development of our donkee went more often only along the path of increasing the number of hooks, the invention of "rubber bands", "rocker arms", etc. allowed to fish, but had a rather rude appearance and was inferior at that time to the feeder unknown to us. Please understand correctly: I have great respect for traditions, but I always want development.

Catching on a donk represented and consists of a throwing of tackle with at least two hooks with a feeding trough covered with porridge or cooked bait. This is followed by a long wait for biting and its identification by various options, of which the most common is a bell or bells. I deliberately do not disassemble such tackle as a half-hoop, because it goes more to the float rod than to the original donke. Yet it is the donk that is our relative of the feeder.


And now, when we made a historical excursion, it's time to talk about the basic laws of modern feeder fishing.

Law number 1: "The correct choice of rods"

Here it is important to understand that for feeder fishing there are special, specific order, length, dough with an increased number of crossing rings and with a set of vershinok of varying rigidity. In no case do not use spinning, float and other rods.

Rods for feeder can be divided into several categories:

  • Ultra-light (ultralight), which allows casting bait weighing from 10-40 g (test 10-40 g). These rods are used in calm waters and are designed to catch medium-sized fish. The length of the rod is from 2.1 to 3 m, the range of work is 15-25 m, respectively. Today this class is allocated in separate - piker.
  • Light (light), allowing throwing up to 60 g (test up to 60 g). The main purpose of this rod is considered to be the delicate fishing of small fish within small ponds and at medium distances. The length of the rods of this class is 3-3.3 m.
  • Medium (medium), allowing the transfer of goods whose weight is in the range of 60-80 g (test 60-80 g). Such feeders are usually used on narrow rivers and ponds. The usual throwing distance for such gear is not more than 50 m. The length of the rod is 3.6 m (less often 3.3 m).
  • Heavy (heavy), with which you can make a throw of 80-150 g (test 80-150 g) at a distance of up to 100 m. The length of rods from 3.6 m.
  • Extra heavy (extra-heavy), used on long-distance casts with loads of more than 120 g (test\u003e 120 g). The length of the rods of this class starts from 4.2 m, and the test of the used heads can reach the maximum possible values.

This classification is somewhat averaged, because many manufacturers produce average rods for tests and lengths. Consequently, the category of rods ALWAYS is chosen under the conditions of fishing and nothing else. In the following articles I will separately discuss the structure of the feeder, the pros and cons of each.

Law number 2: "The right choice of coil"


Now began to appear special. But if you just refer to the requirements that are imposed on them, then they are as follows:

  • reliability;
  • high tensile strength;
  • increased spool diameter for long casting.

If we take the international classification of coils, then these are coils from 2500 to 6000 according to Daiwa. It is very important that the reel easily allows you to go fishing line or cord, was strong and tugging, because often you have to exhaust up to 70 meters of cord with a feeding trough 150 grams from a depth of about 10-12 meters.

Law number 3: "Active fishing"

Feeder fishing is an active way of bottom fishing, which is accompanied by constant feeding of the fishing point and selection of the most successful on this day and in this place snap, leashes, etc. Fishing on the feeder requires perezabrosy tackle with a frequency of 1 to 15 minutes depending on fishing conditions.

The main objective of this rate of redrawing is to maintain an active bait "table" in the fishing zone. I had to see more than once how the fishermen, who, as they said, caught on a feeder, threw a tackle with a feeding trough into the water and for an hour forgot about it, returning either to the ringing of the bell or to retake.

Law number 4: "First choose the place of fishing"

The choice of underwater fishing, where you need to start feeding, is extremely important. I think everyone understands that if you throw the tackle anywhere, even with the correct and accurate feed condition, the probability of catching fish is small and often comes down to the case.
   There are a number of ways to select an underwater fishing point. I will tell you about this in detail another time. It is important to understand the behavior of each type of fish during the day under the influence of weather, season, etc. Only then the choice of location will be easier and more promising in the future.

Law number 5: "Exact cast"

The main reason why the feeder wins the classic donkee is to create a compact and attractive primorochny spot, on which the fish at a different distance from it is pulled. This helps the exceptional accuracy of casting.

The basis of accurate casting, in addition to the technique of execution, are two components:

  • Throwing strictly on landmarks on the opposite shore: wood, pillar, buildings, etc.
  • Restriction of the casting distance on the coil. There are several types of fixing the casting distance of the clip on the coil, we will talk about this later separately.


It is very important not to “smear” prikormku across the water area, which many simple donators and novice fiderista neglect, and to throw right on target. If you make a mistake with a throw, then it is better to immediately wear out the tackle, not allowing the bait to fall out of the feeder.

Law number 6: "Only feeder accessories, no installations"

It is important to remember that ONLY one hook is used in the feeder. The theoretical increase in catch from using more hooks is wrong: more often it leads to entanglement, gatherings and other problems.


Let's return to installations and equipments. Usually in the feeder several types of tooling are used:

  • paternoster;
  • a helicopter and two nodes;
  • asymmetrical and symmetric loops;
  • inline (sports and amateur).


These snap-ins have a huge number of options, but only they are used. Everything else that many people call feeder assemblies is montages for donocs that have nothing to do with the feeder.

Unfortunately, we often observe the following picture. This summer I was on vacation near Rzhev and caught a feeder on the Volga, a neighbor was catching next to me. When I asked him what he was catching, he proudly said that he was a feeder. When he exhausted his gear, I saw a feeding spring and 5 (!!!) hooks. My arguments that this is not a feeder, did not work.

Law number 7: "The right choice of feeders"

  - the basis of feeder fishing: it is she who delivers the feed to the point of fishing. Therefore, its choice should be taken carefully.

For starters, forget about all the feeder springs forever. These are feeders, which have nothing to do with the feeder, they are used only in the donkey.

The feeder for the feeder can be of the following forms: cylindrical, rectangular, triangular. The form is chosen under the conditions of fishing: for example, rectangular feeders are less influenced by the flow, but fly worse when casting. Cylindrical, on the contrary, can fly better, but are subject to rolling with a strong current.


Separately, it should be said about the material from which the feeders are made. Plastic float faster and better, which means that it is more convenient for them to catch under a steep brow in order to quickly pick up equipment and fish.

And one more very important rule. In no case should the current be dragged by the feeder, as this will spread the feeding table. Therefore, the weight of the feeder is selected so that it stands firmly at the bottom and is not torn down by the flow of the flow. This can be influenced by the thickness of the main line and the setting of the rod, but the main thing here is exactly the weight of the feeder.

I'll tell you a case that happened to me. I fished on the Volga, in its upper reaches, where only the feeders weighing 120 g were well kept at the bottom. I had a good bite, I began to dodge the fish! And it so happened that at six meters from the shore, I got confused about the fishing line of my neighbor, who was sure that there would be enough feeding trough springs in 60 g. I could not go into the water, as there was a sharp stall under the shore, I could not get closer and could not call a neighbor who had moved away ... And the most annoying thing is that the lovely 4.5-meter podsachek did not reach the fish. As a result, a good bream, bochin which I saw on the surface, got off. A lot of curses went through my mind then.

As a conclusion: the feeder should hold the bottom so that:

  • do not spread the bait table;
  • do not float downstream, confusing gear to others.

Law number 8: "Proper bait"

In the feeder - the most important. This tackle is obliged to her by the name. There are various options for feeder bait - from homemade to purchased. All of them are to some extent working. A huge choice in the stores of purchased mixes does not mean that homemade bait and porridge are useless - not at all! Sometimes they are more useful.


However, the basic rules for making feeder bait are as follows:

  • Bait is selected under the conditions and the object of fishing.
  • The bait should be completely washed out of the feeder within the first minute after lowering to the bottom.

I will tell you about the bait for different types of fish and fishing conditions in the following articles, this topic is immense. Cooking bait for feeders - a sacrament that everyone knows with experience.

Law number 9: "Poklevka only at the tip of the rod"

This is a sore subject. How annoying those who put their bells or bells on the tip of the rod and their annoying all around! It is important to remember: poklevka in the feeder is identified only by the tip of the rod. No bells, bells, pendulum alarms, etc. are used.

Electronic bite signaling devices are used in carp fishing, but this is a slightly different catch, although very close. If nevertheless we expect an excommunication from tackle: pour tea, snack, etc., then there is an excellent way of installing the bells on the feeder rack - the bites are perfectly audible. But, again, this is a backup option.


Law number 10: "Woven or fishing line"

Now, when the braided cords have become available to everyone, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to refuse to buy and wind it on the spool spool. However, as I wrote above, the gear is selected under the conditions of fishing.
Of course, braid clearly shows any bite. However, due to its inextensibility, it is less forgiving for mistakes in hauling and cutting fish. Therefore, when fishing at a distance of up to 30 m, you can use high-quality fishing line, all the more so now there are many special feeder lines that are more rigid and sensitive.

These were the ten rules of the novice fiderist. Only having mastered and accepted them internally, one can continue to study the feeder and achieve outstanding results in it. It is important not to be afraid to try and experiment.

In my next articles I will focus on the most important and parsing rules. Separately, I would like to say that I did not specifically mention brands and manufacturers: for the time being, I don’t want to focus on this. It is better to start with less and move on to more advanced gear with experience.

Well, thank you all! I am pleased to answer questions and I am in a hurry to write the following material!

Feeder gear, like fishing on a feeder rod, is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. And Russia in this regard is no exception. And every year this tackle begins to appear in the arsenal of fishermen. But here the question arises - why does this tackle become more popular every year? In other words, why many lovers of rubber bands and donokes want to part with their gear forever and even change their views on fishing in general, using previously familiar fishing gear.

It looks like the finished feeder rod assembly - The main components of the feeder rod

In principle, fishing on the feeder is very interesting and this method of fishing is somewhat similar to the method of fishing on the donk. However, the main difference lies in the tackle itself, which is a rod with a very sensitive tip, which is a bite signaling device. In addition, special feeder feeders are used to attract fish.

The appearance of the feeder rod, something very much like spinning, but if you look closely, you can see the main differences. And they, first of all, relate to the fact that there is a large number of crossing rings on this rod, and the rod itself has several interchangeable vershinok. Such a number of vershinok due to the fact that the weight of the feeders is different, so the donets must be appropriate.

Fishing on the modern feeder recognizes only those feeder rods, which is installed only. In principle, conventional spinning reels may be suitable, but the best option would be such reels for the feeder, which are intended for match fishing. The difference between these coils from the standard is in the presence of several spare shallow spools and an increased gear ratio.



  Inertia-free reel for feeder rod

The use of this type of coil is due to the fact that the feeder gear "loves" a thin fishing line. So if the spool is deep, then such a fishing line will fall between the previously wound coils. Moreover - feeder fishing occurs at a fairly fast pace, so the reliability of the coil comes to the fore.

And what about the fishing line for the feeder? In these cases, it is customary to use both ordinary fishing line in our understanding and monofilament. Although, if the casting distance is small, the most optimal would be monofilament. This type of fishing line at such distances is not so stretched, than smoothes the likely jerks of fish.

Thus, if it is necessary to fish on the feeder with a “swing” to catch fish of small size, then the diameter of such a line should be within 0.16-0.2 mm. If the weight of the fish reaches a kilogram, then the diameter of the fishing line should be in the range of 0.2-0.25 mm. However, if fishing is to occur at longer distances, then the usual fishing line for this method of fishing will be poorly suited. In this case, it is best to use monofilament, in which the extensibility is almost zero. However, if the fisherman, everything uses monofilament with this method of fishing, then he needs to be very careful in the process of hauling, when the fish caught on the hook is almost at the shore. Indeed, in this case, the probability of breaking the leash increases several times. Therefore, in order to avoid such trouble, experienced fishermen set in front of the leash inserts of feeder gum, which serve as a shock absorber when jerking caught fish.



  Moninit type fishing line on reel

I must say that too thick fishing line is also not worth it. The fact is that the thicker the line is, the worse the cast will be. Yes, and thick fishing lines poorly transfer poklevki to the tips of the feeder rod.

But if we talk about fishing line for leashes, then saving in this case is the worst enemy. Those. It is necessary to take the highest quality, but thin fishing line, which will be the most invisible in the water. If the fisherman chooses monofilament, then its color should be the same as the color of the bottom of the reservoir. In general, it is best to take a lead. True, this material is considered expensive, but reliable.



Video: Feeder Rod Selection

And what's important when catching on the feeder. Of course - it is a snap for the feeder. Depending on the circumstances, the fisherman can use such a snap on any suitable rod, be it made of at least a cudgel, which already speaks in favor of the convenience of feeder gear. But, be that as it may, but the feeder gear will be such only if the corresponding equipment is “installed” on it.



  Triangular Feeder Feeder

Tackles tackles, but feeders for the feeder in it are almost the main ones. At the moment there are many types of feeders, which differ in shape. Those. There are round, square, rectangular, etc. Such feeders are made of metal mesh. All feeders have a “built-in” sinker and in most cases are closed on both sides with a net. Whatever it was, but in practice often used open type feeders. From such feeders, the food is washed several times faster, which means that the fish tends to approach this feeder more intensively. As a rule, round shaped troughs are used in water bodies where there is no flow at all or it is minimal. But square troughs, on the contrary, are used in reservoirs with a large flow.



Equipment for the feeder is different, but most often used 2 types of installation of such equipment. The first type is called paternoster, which is considered the most popular type, despite its simplicity. As a rule, such accessories fit on both monofilament and cord. When using such tackle the fish is detected by itself. Ie at the time when she takes the nozzle and is cut into the feeder, cutting occurs. The advantages of such a snap is its simplicity, but in the process of throwing it is possible tangling gear.



If you have never caught fish on a feeder before, then the second method is more acceptable for you. He is remarkable already by the fact that you will not have to knit anything, but in advance you will have to take care of acquiring a counter-curler, which already has a carbine for the feeder, into which it must be hooked.

True, more experienced fideristy rarely use this method, believing that he can somehow frighten off the fish. However, in the tangling of tackles it is possible that there are undoubted advantages of such tackle. So if there really is a fish in the pond and the bite is not bad, then the use of such equipment brings its positive results. However, this equipment has its drawbacks, which lie in the lack of reliability of the counter-twist tube and the fact that the leash is located far from the feeder.

In order for the feeder to really catch fish, a lot of attention should be paid to bait. However, throwing bait, wherever falling on the pond is also stupid. Therefore, on the pond one must not only choose a more or less optimal place, but also try to make the fish really interested in this bait.



  Fish bait

Most fishermen use cake, cereals, mixed fodder or ready-made mixes, which are sold in fishermen’s shops as such bait. Although, to be honest, the fish cuisine for fish can be called the real science itself, and each angler has his own secrets of preparing such fish “food”.

But, in any case, the composition of the bait for the feeder can be affected by the condition of the bottom of the reservoir, the type of fish being expected, the location of fish stands,

Consider these factors separately. So, if a strong current is observed on a pond, then in order to not apply the bait to be washed out too quickly, it is necessary to include binding components in its composition. If this is not enough, then the composition of the soil is added to the bait.



Bait should have approximately the same color with the color of the bottom. If the color of the bait is different from the color of the bottom, then she will not take such bait. Change the color of the bait is simple. To do this, you can add to it either the appropriate bottom of the soil, or powder purchase additives.

By the way, some fishermen are trying to add the maximum amount of flavors to the bait. In principle, a little atrakantov does not hurt, but if you overdo it, it can only scare the fish, but does not attract her. If you use the purchase of the mixture, then no flavors they do not need to add, because they have everything.

Secrets of fishing feeder

What is a feeder fishing? I must say that this is a very exciting activity that requires attentiveness from the fisherman. The first thing you need to find on the pond is a place where there is no koryag and vegetation, as well as try to determine the rate of flow of water. And only after that you can start casting bait.

In order to use the method of dragging the sinker along the bottom. However, using this method you can not get a complete picture of the bottom of the reservoir, but something can be learned for yourself.

The fact is that the feeder has such a sensitivity that when dragging a small weight along the bottom you can get an approximate picture of it. If the weight caught the obstacle, then the gum should be put in the clip. And now it is necessary to throw only in the same place. However, for a more accurate cast in such a place, it is necessary to adhere to a landmark on the opposite bank.

Those. when the bottom of the reservoir is completely “probed”, the real feeder fishing begins. Those. instead of a sinker, you need to put a feeder and start fishing. Here I must say that feeder fishing is interesting because the bait should be delivered to the right place all the time. Therefore, feeder casts should be made in the interval of 15-20 minutes. However, overdoing with stuffing trough too. It should be borne in mind that the bait should be washed out with water for 5-7 minutes.
