Good feeders need all anglers who catch a feeder tackle

What is the feeder trough? This ogruzhenny bait container for delivery to a specific point of the bottom. What role is played in the bowl feeder fishing? Almost - the key. Why not? Because the feeder trough performs one of the main principles of feeder fishing - Ships bait on the bottom of the pond. This leads to a chain reaction that leads to the desired goal of fishing. Delivering bait to a certain point, is formed (with some experience) clearly outlined the table feed on the bottom right "under the nose of the fish." That, in turn, helps to keep the fish in a greater concentration on less land, creating competition and excitement between her, which makes it more aggressive, blunting its care. This increases the chance of samopodsechki, and also reduces the time between bites, which allows to catch more fish in less time. This is one of the advantages of feeder fishing. In addition, feeder fishing, there are plenty of other advantages, both in financial terms, as well as emotionally. For example, the savings on the amount of bait, or get more pleasure from fishing. Also, the feeder can increase the distance on the order of fishing from the shore.
Feeder fishing (not without merit feeder feeders) allows for a lower cost, catch more fish, which makes it so attractive method of fishing. Unfortunately, the feeder trough, basically, are classified as consumables, along with hooks and leash. The reason for this is simple, sometimes throws occur (as they say) shootings, but most of the angler loses the trough at the bottom of the pond, due to the snags. Typically, there are hooks for the curb, grass roots, logs, shell, stone and different garbage (what, unfortunately, are very rich in our waters). This is not the least, and is due to bad vsplyvaemosti different types of bird feeders. Therefore, feeder feeders are in the list of articles - the cost of a fisherman, and every man has always tried to reduce the amount of this article. How to find a compromise between the low-cost feeders, and the presence of her characteristics of quality, brand bird feeders? I'm sure this question is given by each angler.
Some time later, after I got into the feeder, the question arose, and in front of me. In my opinion, the feeder trough must meet the following criteria:

Low cost
Good vsplyvaemost
High-quality flight
Good adhesion to the bottom of the reservoir
but for the makeshift more:

ease of manufacture
flexibility in the manufacture of containers of different sizes
flexibility in the production of the desired weight feeders
Neither feeder trough shoplifting does not possess these characteristics simultaneously, at least in our city. So I started looking for a way out. Scrolling through hundreds of web pages, read many different articles, and gaining a bit of experience, I came to the conclusion that feeding should consist of a narrow lead foot with a plastic container. With a plastic container, there is no problem, empty PET bottles out of the water, always at hand. As for the lead foot was the question: pour yourself or buy ready-made? Of course, if you pour yourself soles, you can achieve a lower cost (obratitte account the manufacturing process, described below, this does not change). If you do not pour yourself where to get ready? The solution was at hand.
At the beginning of my journey to feeder fishing gear, not knowing many nuances, some of which I have described above, I bought some cheap feeder troughs, which are sold in any fishing shop in the markets. They are affordable, but it turned out to be a rather poor performance. For this reason, they have me lay unclaimed. Since I have not used them, I decided to adjust for this project.
So, we need the following tools: wire cutters, stationery knife, scissors, a drill with a drill 4.2 mm, a ruler, a marker for CD, a soldering iron with a tip diameter of 4 mm., Riveting, stapler minimum.

Materials: cheap feeders, rivets 4mm in diameter and of varying length, internal diameter of 4mm washers (optional), and other dimensions, a plastic bottle.



First, I cut the mesh into a solid to lead, thus leaving only the sole.



I do a drill-holes diameter of 4.2 mm. It is desirable that the holes would have been closer to the edge of the opposite eyelet of the wire. Since the center of gravity is shifting back and feeding during ascent looks up, which gives a better lift.



Using a knife carefully cut stationery for all clean. And the remnant of chips from the edges of the steps of the holes and sharp corners soles, which may in future lead to cuts or other trouble.

The sole is ready.



After that, take my plastic container. The best material is cut out of plastic bottles? out of the water. As the saying goes, "cheap and cheerful." Bottles must be chosen on the basis of the rigidity of plastic, the harder the better. (Although my first bowl with plastic bottles of a soft hold on to this day).
So, as the sole has a size of 4.5 cm at 2 cm, I cut a strip of size (2.5 cm 6 cm 2.5 cm) = 11 cm by 4.5 cm (0.5 mm for the small stock and bond for the convenience stapler). So, as detailed in the bottle has a length greater than 22cm, I cut two strips at once. Most likely there was a question: why 6cm? First, cut off from the feeder network has a length of 6cm. (Manufacturer, too repelled from something), secondly, by experience came to what is the best option volume, although it is possible and 7cm and 8cm, but solely for the lake feeders. In the course of the larger container, the more it blows.



Next, note from the edges of 2.5 cm (there will be a fixture) and make a mark for future holes (on the feeders for the flow I make the holes smaller than lakes). Side of the inner rectangle note 5mm to the center. Since the strip is 4.5 cm in width, make a mark for every 1.5 cm along the line. Then, through a 1 cm. I repeat, staggered between them.



Through the plastic a little bent, not much, but at the same time straighten the side wings.



The next step. Combine edge (marked 2.5 cm) and fastens with a stapler on both sides. Does not always work the first time and not always punched two holes, but not critical, since mount - temporarily. What matters is that the container held together.



Ready-made containers. (Photo shows that one container of the lower clip, half-hearted. That is, made it to one side and the second to not interfere, I did cut pliers)



I picked up a soldering iron with a tip diameter of 4 mm (sold in the poultry market for a penny) and a hole in the container at the marked points in a checkerboard pattern. Sting with a soldering iron sharpened, so get a very convenient and accurate.



So, we got to the point where the platform and the container is ready. I start the build process. Enclose the container to the platform and then, as the sting of the soldering iron sticks through the holes in the platform and burn holes in the container.



Next, insert the rivet diameter of 4mm, which we select the length (it should be different in the length of the rivets, I have several of them). Attach the container to the bottom and in the future tore the place attachment, put on the puck inside the inner diameter of 4mm and riveting.



In order to be more mobile in the weights (the so-like store bought feeders usually have a weight of 25g, 30g, 50g, 60g, 75gr, 100gr), we can add washers of different masses, thus getting the right balance trough. So we can get the weight in 40g, 70g, 80g, 90g, and even 110gr.

Tu-same procedure with the second hole and feeding is done!



After weighing, the weight of feeders write marker for CD (CD / DVD / BD - PEN) at the very trough.
When the arm is stuffed, the process does not take much time (5, 6 pcs. No more than 3 hours), but these feeders provide a head start on the characteristics of any brand.

And another important point. It is advisable to paint the bowl lake. My method is quite cheap and simple:
take the vessel to put all the finished bowl and pour vinegar for about 12 hours. After that, pour out the vinegar and fill with a solution of potassium permanganate, and approximately 12 hours. Time can be increased if the tinting is weak. I have something like this: in the evening in the vinegar in the morning in a solution of potassium permanganate, the next evening, the solution drained and dried.
