Feeder tackle.

Feeder - for the novice fisherman that word might ring hollow. However, this is the way of fishing, in recent years began to win the hearts of a lot of fishing. Moreover, committed various ages. Try to understand what it is - on the feeder fishing tackle.

Feeder or "English donk" as a way of fishing originated in England. Feeder is a specialized feeder rod and reel and snap with a trough. Feeder is the main feature of the feeder. In English, the feeder (feeder) means - feeding. The basic idea is to spot bait feeding on a certain area of ​​the bottom. At the same hook with bait will be directly in the baited area. In part, this fact is fundamental to the success and effectiveness of feeder fishing. Correctly matched, balanced tackle can bring you incredible results, and a lot of positive emotions. Feeder tackle you can catch any fish, peaceful, and not excluded, and catch a predator. Understanding the essence of feeder fishing, you'll be permanently subdued simplicity and elegance of this truly British gear!


Feeder rod. Feeder is a plug, a two-or three-part rod with a lot of crossing rings. The number depends on the knee-length rods. One of the features of the feeder rod is that it performs the role of signaling bite rod tip. Therefore, for feeder fishing rods have certain differences from all other types of rods. First, most often, vershinki they are removable. The set includes three or more vershinok. Choosing vershinki we are guided by the terms of fishing (the presence or absence of flow, the power flow, weather conditions). Vershinki differ on the test range: 1oz., 2oz., 3oz., 4oz., (1 oz - 28 grams). When choosing a feeder vershinki do not forget to also take into account the weight of the food. Try to keep the snap from the trough does not exceed the maximum test vershinki and rods (many manufacturers inflate the test). Leave 7-10 grams stock as an overload or vershinki form can lead to breakage. All feeder rods can be divided into four main groups:


Lightweight feeder or picker - Light, mostly private two rods with a test range of up to 1.5 ounces (40 - 45 grams)

Average Feeder - Medium, it's two, three private fishing rods with a test range of 2-3 ounces (50-80 grams)

Heavy Feeder - Heavy, long, powerful feeder rod with a test 3-4 ounces (80-120 grams)

On top of a heavy feeder - Extra Heavy, feeders, designed for power, long-distance casting feeders weighing 150-200 grams or more. Enjoy fast action.


The length of the feeder rod pick up depending on the catch. For small rivers 3.30-3.60m. Big River 3.60-4.5m. 3.50-4.20m of the lake. Universal length can be considered as 3.60-3.90m. When choosing a feeder rod, turn your attention to the more hard and fast feeder. This will improve accuracy and increase casting distance. Also note the number of rings, the more of them, the better (load evenly distributed on the form).


Coil. The coil is an indispensable part of the feed gear. Since catching on the feeder involves the capture of large specimens (carp, grass carp, bream) coil must be relatively powerful force. And as the weight of the feeders can reach up to 200 grams or more, it is necessary. If we start from the classification DAIWA, it is the size of 3000-4500. Preferably with a large gear ratio, are coming frequent casting tackle. The coil should have a smooth running and well-laid twine or braided line. Note the absence of extraneous noise in the coil. An important element is the availability of a spare spool. Remember that the clutch must be properly configured (except when caught trophy fish may happen trouble in the form of descent, or termination). Clutch is preferred - rear. Not prevent the existence of clear fishing line free Baitrunner (Baytranner)


Monofilament or braided line. Since the signaling device is a bite in the feeder rod tip, then the braided line is a must. The main advantage of braided cord is its zero stretch. It is this quality allows us to ignore even the most cautious bite of fish. At small diameters, cables have a high breaking load. In the course of just need to use the finest woods in order to minimize the effect of the flow and prevent the demolition of the feeder. Small woven stretch cord and can be a disadvantage when dealing with trophy fish. However, friction can be properly configured to rectify the situation. Monofilament fishing line performed well when fishing at short range.


Feeder equipment.


Feeder rigs - a lot and they are all good, but is to provide the basic three:


Paternoster Gardner - parts invented English angler Steve Gardner. Knitting can be both individually and in the main fishing line. Take the end of the main line and knit a simple loop. This loop will attach the leash to a hook. Further measures the 15-20cm from the loop and knit another loop. Do this loop larger so it passes freely through the feeder. You can make a small loop and the first Prodi in her swivel with a carbine. That's it. The only thing that, for the removal of a lead with a hook must be 1-2cm. below the trough. So we can avoid overlaps with the trough leash. Paternoster, a snap-in, which is considered the most sensitive and easy to manufacture.


Asymmetrical loop. Is the most popular feeder rig. Fit separately. We take a segment of line 1-1.5m. You can take a cheap and preferably a tough, 0.3-0.4mm in diameter. Fold in half and our segment knit a simple loop. Size of the loop about 1-2cm. Measured 10-15cm. twine and twist the two together. The result should be a twisted, hard for the removal of a lead with a hook. Fix a twist knot. At the free end of line put on a swivel snap hook to it, we will cling to the feeder. Fold both ends of the half so that the swivel was at a distance of 2-3 cm from the twist. At a distance of 15-30cm. Both the fishing line fix the node. One end cut off. At the other end knit a simple loop that will connect our rig with the main fishing line. This equipment allows the feeder to freely slide along the loop. This gives us a better sensitivity. Hard twist removes the leash from the hook on feeders, avoiding overlaps.


The symmetric loop. The same, only the loop is the same, leaving 1-2 cm of the stranding. He is also a very sensitive and easy to use.


You can also use special tubes protivozakruchivateli. Through a tube is passed the main fishing line. Bead worn to prevent deformation of the unit, and fit a simple loop. With this loop will be connected to a lead with a hook. On the tube already have a carabiner to attach feeders. Such equipment is also good, but I think it is not rough to the right elements. But this is my personal opinion, such a snap, too, can successfully catch fish.


Lead with a hook. The length of the leash, depending on the catch, can vary from 10-15cm. up to 1 meter or more. There are some unwritten rules. Bite is not visible, but the nozzle is eaten, then you should reduce the length of the leash. The sharp bite, but the fish are not detected, the leash should be extended. Weak and a few bites, then you need to put a finer lead and reduce the size of the hook. The hook is the element of equipment, which need special attention. If anything, and you can save in the feeder, it was not on the hook. Do not chase the big hooks, dreaming of the major trophies. Gone are the days when the hook is chosen more to fish is not gone. Today's sharp hooks and are made of quality steel. Even a small hook securely hooking the fish.


Feeder trough. Currently, there are plenty of feeder troughs. They vary in weight, volume, size and materials of which have been made. Select the type of feeder you want us to we can, guided by the terms of the places where we will catch. Feeders can be divided into closed and open. For standing water better fit around the feeders, open type. For fishing for a better fit trough a rectangular, square and triangular shapes. They are best kept on the bottom. In turn, this reduces the weight of the bowl. To be a strong flow of an ideal triangular trough. So as you can pick up an animal feeding trough for the nozzle type, it is grubs, crank. Do not forget that the weight of the food must meet the claimed test for feeder rod. A good show and homemade gravy train. In zakoryazhenyh where there is a high probability of breaking trough, it makes sense to use a homemade trough. They are very well come up and cost them a minimum.


Bait.


Finally we come to the most important point, this feeder groundbait. Factory, a huge number of branded baits. Bait should consist of three main components. First, a basic part. Most of the bait used to attract fish. Secondly, it is filling. Some of the bait used to hold the fish at fishing. And third, it's all kinds of flavor enhancers. Bait is mixed directly on the waterfront. And it is better to use water from the reservoir, too. Do not rush to plant bait water. Pour a little and wait until it is absorbed. At this time, you can safely collect the feeder tackle. Top up with more water. Mix. From the obtained bait balls cling to good, but when you are just as easy to break. In the course of nice to add clay as a factory making and taking it right on the beach. Clay is heavier bait, and the faster it will reach the bottom. The same bait will slowly erode over. In the cold time of year always adding to the bait animal ingredients, this joker, maggot, worm. So as well attract fish and homemade bait. Here are some of the major components of a homemade bait:


Basic. In order to attract fish to the point:


Cookies (shortbread)

Bread crumbs.

Corn grits

Oil-cake fried (cyprinid major component)

Munk (very important for viscosity)

Bran (act as leavening agents)


Filler. It is used to hold the fish in the catch point. As fillers are used cereal. Usually, it is millet porridge, barley, peas. In the hot season, the main thing is not to overdo it. The water is warm and porridge fast kisnet.


Attractants. Vanilla, coriander, fennel, honey, garlic, hemp, etc.


The most important thing is not to saturate the fish ahead of time and do not overdo it with attractants. In this case, the effect will be quite different.


Bits.


Nozzles are animal and vegetable origin. Bits of animal origin, it is grubs, crank, and all kinds of worm larvae and beetles. Bits of vegetable origin, it is all grass, pieces of fruit and vegetables, bread, cereal and hard boiled, etc. Try to keep something that you catch, always present in the bait. This is important. Bits of vegetable origin is well caught in the summer, early fall. Bits of animal origin are well used to cold water. At this time the fish is looking for a more nutritious diet.


Fishing on the feeder means that after a certain amount of fishing will be collected. This package of bait bags, cans, boxes and packing out attractants. Do not be lazy and after fishing collect all garbage. He was committed is not difficult, to bring to the nearest box. The next time you came to the shore, you'll be fishing in a clean start. Feeder fishing yields excellent results. The capture of five or more kilograms of fish are not uncommon. In the beginning, the small roach bait suited, silver bream, white bream, and of course they will fall to you on the hook. Try if possible to let her go. This is largely in the future will provide you with good results.
