For fishing on the course - and has its own nuances. Mastering it is not difficult, but you need to remember some points.
The main thing - the choice of distance and point for fishing, as this is a decisive factor in fishing on fast-flowing rivers.
What is required to choose the right fishing spot with a feeder on a river? A number of tests need to be done.
We will talk about them below. For tests, you can use a marker rod or a classic feeder. It is important that there is a good braid. It will accurately convey all the irregularities of the bottom.
By repeated casting, bottom irregularities are determined and localized.
The relief of the bottom is transferred to the rod, “thumps”, as when fishing with a “jig”. When casting the bait far enough - about 70 meters - the bottom of the river should be fairly even and clayey. If, when pulling the sinker towards him, the fisherman feels hesitation, a kind of “blow” on the rod, it means that stones or other obstacles have been encountered on the way.
After the optimal location for fishing with a feeder on the current localized, the number of turns of the rod reel is counted in order to determine the casting distance.
Knowing the number of turns of the coil, when the tackle breaks, it will be easy to throw the feeder feeder at the exact fishing distance. Fishing in the river should be on the border of stones and a flat place - where there is clay. If the marker weight does not stick at the bottom, then it is clay soil.
The depth of the fishing spot is another important parameter. Since it is difficult to determine the depth when pulling the sinker, when casting a distance, you can roughly calculate the depth by the number of turns of the rod reel until it touches the bottom of the river.
Fishing with a feeder on a river requires accurate casting and slow pulling.
For the delivery of bait, special ones are used for the current. For bait, the simplest goods from the nearest supermarket or market are used.
It is mixed in a large bowl. Harvested at one time 3-5 kg.
The feeder on the river can be equipped in different ways over the course of time. For strong fish, a fishing line with a thickness of at least 0.14 mm should be used. The use of hook No. 14 is considered optimal and universal, which is considered large but reliable in sports.
Rods for feeder fishing in strong currents are equipped with numerous options for sinkers, feeders, line reels.
An asymmetric loop is considered to be a universal installation of feeder fixtures for flow.
A flat feeder with a flat feeder is beginning to enjoy great popularity in Russian reservoirs. This method of fishing is applicable on reservoirs with a muddy or overgrown bottom. allows the feeder to fall clearly with the sinker down, and the food is a slide at the top. The fish finds food and bait, swallows it, moves it off the point and is hooked by the weight of the trough.
This feeder equipment is used when fishing on a feeder in a river for peaceful fish, such as:
Such installations are used when the bait needs to be pressed to the bottom as much as possible and at the same time get self-setting. Symmetrical and asymmetrical loops are knitted only on monofilaments. There were many attempts to tie rigs on braided line - nothing worked, they get confused.
You can fish on the main line and on the main mono line. It is allowed to knit the montage on the main line, or knit in advance and somehow fix it to the braided line. There are two ways to knit montages.
A symmetrical loop often saves on boggy silt.When knitting a symmetrical loop, you can use twisting. But often twisting is not used. For knitting, a triple straight knot is used. This forms a lead under the leash. A loop is knitted at the tip of the branch so that it is all straight and not puffed up, a branch is formed under the leash. A swivel is threaded, the fishing line is folded in half and a knot is knitted - a triple straight line.
All knots must be moistened to prevent burning of the fishing line. The protruding ends of the fishing line must be cut flush so that the equipment does not become entangled. It remains to fix the feeder and go. This rig is similar in its properties to a sliding sports rig without a retraction, with the only difference being that the feeder's movement is limited by a loop.
An asymmetric loop for mounting feeder equipment for fishing on the current is made right at the fishing spot. A small loop is knitted where the swivel with a leash will be attached. Then a twist is made, so, let's say, an “anti-twist”, about 20 turns of a “pigtail”, so that the leash does not get confused behind the feeder and everything above. The loop is made 15 centimeters long, or maybe 12, then the loop is knitted, the “pigtail” is fixed.
You will need a bead as a buffer so that the loop does not break, and a swivel to which the feeder will be attached. The main fishing line is shifted by 1 centimeter, so that there is a free movement of the feeder, and a loop is made. The loop should be more voluminous so as not to get confused. At this installation is ready, it remains to put the feeder.
This is the perfect montage for flow. In both cases of symmetrical and asymmetrical installation, a swivel with a special attachment should be used to easily change the feeder.
Another type of installation when fishing on a feeder in a current is a paternoster. Its advantage is simple installation and low probability of tangling the fishing line of the leash.
Paternoster is knitted with a fishing line from 0.2 to 0.35 mm. Many people practice paternoster knitting on the main line. If the main line is braided, then the paternoster is made from a separate monofilament. In the manufacture of this installation, a swivel is put on the fishing line, 25-30 cm of fishing line is measured, and a paternoster loop is knitted on this segment.
The loop under the feeder can have a branch up to 15 cm, but it is usually made 5-10 cm long. On the formed branch - the antennae - a separate loop is knitted under the leash. After that, the paternoster is ready to go. It is enough to attach the feeder to the carabiner of the swivel, and on the other hand attach the leash.
Fishing with a feeder in a strong current requires a more powerful rod, a heavier feeder and special fighting techniques in the current of the river. The main way of playing, for example, trophy bream is pumping out.
This is especially true when using braided fishing line as the main one. It is unacceptable to try to pull out resisting large fish with a reel on the move. A bream that has come out at a distance to the surface can easily get off the hook. Having taken a sip of air, such a fish begins to beat intensively in a panic, and interfere with a calm stretching ashore.
To prevent this, the fish is loosened and the fish is gently pulled up with a rod with a reel spool held by a finger. At the end of pulling up with a rod, a fishing line is selected with a reel, with a gradual lowering of the rod to the water. So several cycles are repeated - until the extraction of prey from the water.
In today's article, we will consider what kind of feeder feeders are, what material they are made of, their shapes, conditions of use. The main purpose of the feeder is to deliver food to the point of fishing. There are a variety of feeders, and depending on the reservoir and conditions, we will use one or another feeder for fishing. Also, do not forget that in addition to the delivery of bait, the feeder plays the role of a load and it is important that its total weight with bait be 20 percent less than the upper limit .
Depending on the type of bait used, all feeders can be divided into three types:
Depending on the material, they are metal and plastic.
According to their form, they can be divided into:
The advantage of these fishing feeders is that the metal mesh cuts the water perfectly, they resist the current better than plastic ones and reach the bottom faster. A big plus when you don't want to attract small things from the water column.
When wondering which feeders for a feeder you should have in your arsenal, I would like to note the feeders of the company brain. These feeders have a flat bottom, on which the load is concentrated, while its main mass is brought to the side opposite from the loop. As a result, when entering the water, the feeder does not create cotton, which is a definite plus when fishing in shallow waters.
The disadvantage of metal feeders is that they do not float well, this disadvantage is fully felt when fishing on deep edges and in places densely overgrown with algae.
When choosing a feeder in the store, you need to pay attention to the junctions of the gratings so that there are no notches and sharp edges.
Also, mesh feeders can have a plug, you will need it when fishing in a strong current, and also when you use live food along with bait.
The British, who are ahead of the rest in terms of feeder gear, have developed a special feeder gear Shotgun, its essence lies in the fact that when this feeder touches the bottom, a special piston pushes the bait out of it. Such a fishing feeder is not cheap, and has not yet reached us. But I hope, soon, will appear on our shelves.
As a rule, they are cylindrical with wings and without.
Better than metal ones they are suitable for fishing in stagnant waters, and their advantages include the fact that you can put more food in them than in metal ones, with the same weight. This is a direct plus when, in order to maintain a normal bite, the fish must be intensively fed. They float well, especially if the feeders have wings, and are especially effective in places with a cluttered bottom. Feeder feeders with wings work well on muddy ground, as the wings create an additional plane and prevent it from getting stuck in it.
The disadvantage of plastic feeder feeders is that they have a high water resistance, which is why they are not recommended for use in the course, especially feeders with wings, because they sink to the bottom even more slowly, often anglers cut them off.
When choosing plastic feeders, you should pay attention to the load at the base, if it is rectangular and strongly convex, it will create additional wind resistance when casting, which will reduce the casting distance. Here, for example, at the feeders Feeder Sport the load is quite flat with rounded edges, allowing you to throw tackle over longer distances.
Designed for fishing in intense currents, they are made of metal mesh, they are rectangular and cylindrical in shape on a flat base.
These feeders for the feeder are better kept on the bottom due to the presence of spikes on the load. In order to reduce wind resistance during flight, it is desirable to use an arched weight.
Very often in the canopy we have to fish at the maximum distance from the shore. In this case, we use bullet feeders. They are cylindrical or conical in shape. They can be either metal or plastic.
Shipment is of two types: the first - the weight is located at a distance from the front edge of the feeder, the second - the load is soldered into the feeder mesh itself.
These feeder feeders for fishing have minimal wind resistance, and the location of the main weight on the bow improves the aerodynamic characteristics of the feeder, so that it can be thrown at a distance of about 80-100 m even in the presence of wind. Also, these feeders enter the water, practically without making too much noise, and due to the fact that the load is not dissected along the plane, they float well.
As a rule, before the start of fishing, a starting feed is made, for these purposes it is better to use feeders. Feeding troughs can be either plastic or metal (feed comes out faster from metal).
They are larger than conventional feeders in order to supply as much feed as possible in fewer casts, for the same reasons feeder feeders do not have a load or it is very small.
These feeders are designed for fishing in stagnant waters and weak currents.
The bait is hammered into this feeder with the help of pressing and is kept due to the presence of plastic arcs. The basis of this feeder is a flat load. Pressing of bait is carried out with the help of hands or a special mold (mould). Moreover, feeders can be of various shapes and sizes, so the bee should be selected directly under the feeder. As a rule, using mold, the baited hook is pressed into the bait itself. The flat method is a more modern version of the pacifier. Thanks to its flat and wide base, it works well in muddy waters, and it can also be caught in a weak current. When using method feeders, it is important to consider that the weight of the bait used will equal or even exceed the weight of your feeder.
When choosing a flat method feeder for a feeder, you need to pay attention to the ribs, they can be located on the sides of the coil or be spaced apart, the size of the nozzle that you can use depends on the distance between the ribs of the feeder, so if the distance between the ribs is small you will not be able to insert a hook with a 20 mm bait, and at the same time, if you use feeders sharpened for wide baits and decide to use a small bait, then after casting and the feeder gets into the water, part of the bait will fall out and your bait will most likely fall out.
Drop-shaped feeders have the best flight characteristics due to the center of gravity shifted to the edge, although there are also classic flats with additional cargo. The downside of these feeders is that when they fall into the water, they are stronger than a simple classic flat, they go into it with their noses.
For fishing in shallow but heavily silted reservoirs, you need to choose flats that have a wide base and light weight.
Casting distance:
Feeders weighing up to 25-30 grams are used at picker distances;
Feeders weighing 40-80 grams - fishing at a distance of 40 to 80 meters;
Feeders weighing 100-120 grams for punching strong winds and fishing at maximum distances of 100 meters or more.
Inside the flat method feeders there is an axial hole for the slider.
In carp fishing, we need a lot of food, so special frame feeders, which are a base with longitudinal ribs, can also be used here.
As bait for method feeders, various cereals, plasticines with flavors are used (meaning the degree of viscosity of the bait), you can also buy specialized bait in the store.
They were actively used by our anglers even before we had feeder equipment. This feeder consists of: a spring or a spiral, a plastic tube and a weight, which can be located both on the plastic tube and on the axles.
The tube is hollow inside, or a cord can be passed through it. It is these feeders connected in series in the amount of three pieces that are the classic “crucian killer” tackle. The name speaks for itself.
Often in the process of fishing, we need to supplement the place of catching with animal food (both pure and as part of bait), cork feeders are used for these purposes. They are made of plastic. There are small holes on the surface of the feeder through which the feed is washed out.
Cork feeders for fishing are
And now let's figure out which feeders for the feeder, when they are used. Closed, equipped with two plugs, semi-closed have one blind or removable plug. They are used for fishing in medium and strong currents. Open feeders do not have end caps and are designed for feeding in stagnant water bodies and in weak currents.
The first rule for choosing a feeder by weight is “you should use the lightest feeders that are suitable for the given fishing conditions and the equipment you have”. The most common feeders for stagnant ponds are 20-30 g, here the weight of the feeder will depend only on the casting distance. For a weak current, feeders weighing up to 40 g are used, on rivers with an average current up to 60 g, with a strong one from 60 g and above. The weight of the feeder feeder for fishing also depends on the depth of fishing and the strength of the wind, since a feeder that is too light will sink for a long time and be blown away by the wind in flight. Also, the line will sail in the wind, dragging a light feeder along the bottom.
When you use a quiver tip for bite signaling, your feeder should not slide along the bottom, straightening its sensitive tip. If you cast the tackle and the feeder does not clearly lie on the bottom, then put a heavier one, it is advisable to have an arsenal of feeders with a difference in weight of 5 grams, this will give you the opportunity to choose the feeder with the highest quality for fishing conditions.
I hope after today's review you have no questions left about what feeders for the feeder exist and how to use them depending on the reservoir.
In this article, we will analyze some of the most suitable equipment for fishing on the course. Also here we will explain such key points of the layout of the feeder gear as:
The main advantage of this kind of equipment is the possibility of self-cutting fish. In this case, it is recommended to hold the rod at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground, with the tip pointing upwards. This will allow the bait, which is attached to a leash at a distance of one meter from the feeder, to hang in the thickness of the reservoir.
The fish, which chooses a feeding place in a strong current, got used to feeding on food moving with the flow of water masses. Therefore, it is recommended to use exceptionally long leads, which give the bait a higher degree of freedom of movement with the flow.
If the bite has stopped, you can play along with the fish a little and twitch the rod. After that, her activity should increase.
Check out the video that talks about feeder rigs. What is this or that design.
This feeder equipment is also called the Gardner loop. It is very often used by fishermen, due to the ease of installation and the resulting level of sensitivity. In this case, the touch of the fish to the bait is transmitted to the end of the rod, and only with time will the load-feeder move along the surface of the bottom of the reservoir.
This is a versatile rig for catching small fish. After all, it cannot perform signaling on the tip of the rod in the case of using self-cutting equipment.
Such a snap-in can only be created with a single G-8 knot. Moreover, the loop is made 20 cm long, and the feeder is fixed by the cape method. Although the best way in terms of reliability and efficiency is the use of twisting.
This kind of equipment is considered easy to create, but not the most effective.
To install it, you will need: an anti-twist tube, a swivel and a bead, which will protect the knot on the swivel from breaking and chafing. Distinguish between curved and straight tubes. Moreover, curved ones are effective in preventing entanglement of the leash. It is important to control that the long part of the tube is directed towards the leash. The latter is pulled over the main fishing line and stopped with a bead. The fishing line is pulled directly to the swivel for further attachment of the leash with a hook. After fastening the feeder, the equipment can be considered ready.
There are monofilament and braided line for the feeder. In the first case, it is distinguished by its ability to stretch well, perfectly repel water and at an affordable price. But such a product will not serve you for a long time, and the monofilament will constantly create loops and spirals after the coil comes off. In the second option, there is a high level of sensitivity and strength. Although the cost of such a product will be ten times higher, it is impossible to untie the knots, and its rigidity will completely eliminate shock absorption.
More information on choosing a fishing line can be found in.
Experienced fishermen recommend using several hooks in size #10-#18. After all, practice shows that their other sizes are used extremely rarely. To start choosing a hook is already at the place of fishing, just before casting. At the same time, pay attention to the type and dimensions of the bait, the weight and type of your desired trophy.
Since the cautious fish give a weak bite, it is best to use an inconspicuous and small hook. Although, on the other hand, the possibility of descent of the catch will instantly increase. But you can't get away from this. An interesting fact is that large fish are less cautious. Therefore, you can safely put medium and large hooks on it.
The most important thing is that the tip of the hook is well sharpened. After all, only in this case the bait will be easily pierced.
Regarding the thickness of the hook, it is definitely impossible to say. On the one hand, a thin product can cut the fish's lip, increasing the likelihood of its coming off. On the other hand, on such a sample, bloodworms, worms and other baits will last longer, attracting a future trophy. Therefore, it is recommended for a beginner in this business to use medium-thick hooks.
Experienced fishermen are advised to pay attention to the quality of the steel from which the hook is made, including the correctness of its hardening, for example, Owner, Gamakatsu or Trabucco.
An experienced fisherman will definitely have a whole set of feeders. Since their choice is made directly at the place of fishing. For a fast current, some are used, for a stagnant reservoir - completely different.
In the process of choosing a feeder, it is worth considering:
A closed feeder with a plug is recommended for use in ponds with strong currents or when casting will be rare. The open model is characterized by ease of pulling and is recommended for use in the middle course or in still water.
Round feeders are distinguished by excellent aerodynamic parameters. Triangular ones are heavily carried by the current, and square ones are the “golden mean” between the first two options.
Any body of water is characterized by an individual food base. In the process of catching bream, this should be given special attention. If there is a large number of bloodworms in the reservoir, then such a bait will be a priority. Although pasta and a worm bite will also be good.
It is good to use the following compositions:
It is very difficult to correctly guess the right bait for this fish. Therefore, it is best to take several bait options for fishing.
In addition to the worm, the bream comes with a variety of vegetable baits, which are distinguished by a special degree of catchability and the ability to catch two types of fish.
You can catch carp with a variety of baits. It can be corn, barley, worm and maggot. In the spring season it is good to catch on bloodworms. With the advent of autumn, compositions of worm and corn are effective. For catching large fish, it is necessary that the nozzle is distinguished by volume. So, some fishermen plant corn not only on the surface of the hook, but also on the line above it.
Do not forget about such a popular feeder nozzle as a boilie. Very often, carp are caught on a feeder precisely.
Definitely choose the perfect bait for bream and carp is impossible. After all, the behavior of fish depends on weather conditions, on the availability of food in the aquatic environment, and even on the season.
We can only say one thing, that experienced fishermen advise making bait with your own hands. It is important to consider the following criteria for the desired mixture:
The process of feeder fishing on the current is unique in itself. After all, the water flow, which often makes it difficult to keep the feeder in place, at the same time carries the bait around. This way you are luring fish from a larger range. But fishing in such difficult conditions is simply unrealistic.
And finally, an interesting video with the process of fishing on a feeder in the current, in which the author also shares his experience.
Happy fishing!
Main line. In the installation of a feeder rod, monofilament fishing line is used. We recommend paying attention to the following brands: Mikado Sensei Feeder, Trabucco T-Force feeder, Shimano Technium.
Monofilament diameter 0.2-0.24.
Price: 180 rubles.
Price: 350 rubles.
Shimano Technium.
Price: 1150 rubles.
We do not recommend brands Salmo, Colmic, Gamakatsu, Owner, Suffix due to their lack of rigidity. In feeder fishing, it is very important that the line does not stretch. This allows the tackle to remain sensitive to bites and to take on the tip of the rod even the smallest touches of the fish.
Attention! Why don't we use braided line?
The fact is that feeder fishing is associated with constant rubbing of the fishing line on the bottom of the reservoir. The braided line is subject to rapid abrasion, while the monofilament, on the contrary, practically does not deform upon contact with gravel, stones and snags.
Nevertheless, high-quality braided line is used in competitive fishing. If you want, we recommend Pontoon 21 Extreama 0.14-0.16 mm. Price: 1050 rubles. for 100 m.
Fluorocarbon leashes. The hook is knitted to fluorocarbon (fluorocarbon) line, for two reasons:
Best models: Pontoon 21 Grand Fluorocarbon and Owner Broad Game Pro 0.1-0.31mm.
Pontoon 21 Grand Fluorocarbon.
Price: 655 rubles. OwnerBroad. Price: 330 rubles.
On sale there are ready-made leads Owner RL 340 (thin hooks for bream), RL 330 (yellow hooks for corn), RL 044 (dark hooks for worms). The choice for those who do not want to crochet a leash and make a loop to the snap themselves.
Lead thickness. For a hooked leader use 0.1-0.2 mm depending on the weight of the intended fish. Up to 1 kg of prey, 0.1 mm of fluorocarbon is enough for you. The Running Feeder Rig and some other feeder rigs use 0.3mm tough, hard fluorocarbon line guide.
Swivel with carabiner. It is important to choose a swivel commensurate with the feeder, especially when using non-branded models. We recommend that when using a feeder over 60 g, take the Owner swivel No. 14, and when fishing in still water on a small feeder - No. 12.
Important! Use a swivel only in black or dark colors, but by no means golden. Bright rigging can scare away fish.
Crimp tube. Optional item, but can be used to make some rigs that use thick monofilament line. The crimp tube helps to secure the hook on the fishing line without using knots at all. Nevertheless, we advise beginners to study the basic knots and use them first.
feeder. In total, 7 types of load-feeders are used in feeder gear, differing in their design. Key parameters to pay attention to:
Restrictive stopper. The element is important to protect the nodes from the heavy elements of our rigs. Use hard rubber stoppers, soft plastic is a little worse, and it is much worse to use beads as a stopper because of their hardness. Sooner or later they will damage the knot.
Tube anti-twist. It will come in handy in a snap with the same name (the second name is “rocker arm” or “anti-twist tube”). Serves to divert the fishing line with a leash to the side, which reduces the number of tangles in the equipment. They are used in the current and extremely rarely in still water due to the massiveness of the element.
Anti-twist tube and bead stopper
Hooks. Choose sharp and strong hooks that will not straighten or break. Editor's Choice - Owner. The standard size for the feeder is No. 6-8. But for catching medium and small fish, they are used up to No. 16 (roach, bream, silver bream), and when catching bleak on floating equipment - No. 20.
There are other elements, but they are used less often and we will talk about them later.
Most of the feeder rigs, which we will discuss below, cannot be bought assembled in a store, so you need to be able to knit them yourself.
All feeder installations can be made in no longer than 5 minutes. Be sure to watch the video under each type of rig.
To tie the feeder equipment paternoster we need:
This feeder equipment diagram and all subsequent ones show the dimensions of the elements. Check out the specific wood companies at the beginning of the article.
Step-by-step instruction:
Watch a step-by-step video tutorial on knitting a paternoster for beginner anglers from Alexei Fadeev, the world champion in feeder fishing.
The swivel ring is compressed with pliers to act as a stopper on the knot
Feeder equipment A running feeder rig is a sports rig and differs from non-sports ones in that if the fish tackle breaks, the feeder will remain at the bottom, and the fish will remain only with a hook, which guarantees a minimum of damage and a greater chance of survival. Works Running Feeder Rig on both monofilament and braided lines. But we recommend using braid. Used by anglers-athletes in competitions.
Helicopter feeder equipment and two knots are used for catching fish from the bottom and in the middle layers of water. It shows itself especially well in the course when catching roach, scavenger and bream, white bream in conditions of active biting.
Mount on the main line.
Helicopter and two knot feeder rigs are very sensitive to bites as the bait is almost in direct tension with the main line going to the tip of your feeder rod.
Feeder equipment “Asymmetrical (asymmetric) loop” is knitted both on the main fishing line and on a separate piece of fishing line.
You can knit both on a fishing trip and before fishing (make a removable installation). We will need Owner fluorocarbon line. Line diameter - 0.28-0.31 mm.
Fluorocarbon has a high rigidity, which is extremely important when creating rigs. All knots must be rigid. This will improve the sensitivity of bites and their implementation. Also, fluorocarbon (in other words, fluorocarbon) is practically invisible in the water, which allows you to hide the equipment from the fish. Well, and most importantly, fluorocarbon is not so much injured on a rough bottom with shell rock, driftwood and other debris in the water, so it is ideal for mounting.
Important!
When assembled, the twist should end 2 cm below the feeder. This rule must be observed so that the equipment does not get confused during casts and during reeling, when you recast the feeder tackle. If the twist ends at the level with the feeder, then there is a high probability of entanglement.
Observe the correct asymmetry. Do not make the overhang too large (more than 2 cm). In this form, it will lose its main concept. With a large overhang, the effect of hiding the bite occurs. If the fish is cautious, it will try the rig and you will not see a bite. Neat crucian carp will eat the bait, and you won't know it. Make the overhang no more than 2 cm!
If using fluorocarbon line for twists, do not use thicker than 0.3mm. Otherwise, it will look too rough in the water.
The asymmetrical loop is the only rig that is immune to negative factors:
When fishing with an asymmetrical loop, bait and bait lie in place, regardless of external influences on the feeder tackle: the tip of the rod, fishing line. This is very important when catching trophy fish (carp, bream, ide and carp, carp and grass carp, etc.).
Self-cutting equipment. This is unsportsmanlike, but thanks to the loop, when taking the bait into the mouth, the fish does not feel the resistance of the feeder. The hook penetrates deep into the mouth and after a second or two, the fish, moving from the place of fishing, is detected under the action of the gravity of the feeder.
Rig asymmetrical loop can be used repeatedly if it is not damaged during fishing. Before fishing, prepare 7-10 pieces so that when the gear breaks, you can quickly change the installation and continue fishing.
We will need:
We will make removable equipment so that you can make 5 or more pieces before fishing, and during fishing, change or replace one with another if necessary. It is convenient to store equipment on a float reel or in another special container.
The symmetrical loop is similar to the Running Rig, but the difference is that the latter is a sliding and non-hooking rig, it is formed only when fishing on the main line. A symmetrical loop is a self-securing snap.
Step-by-step instruction:
Important! The length of the roll should be below the bottom of the feeder to avoid tangles.
The feeder falls to the bottom. The fish finds the bait and starts moving to the side. It makes a jerk and due to the fact that there is a rigid fixation of the swivel and the feeder - the fish cuts itself under the weight of the feeder. Due to the symmetry, we have a very fast bite signal than in a non-symmetrical loop rig.
This equipment is used for catching small and medium fish (medium-sized crucian carp, roach, bream) at the moments of active biting. It shows itself well on rivers, lakes and ponds, where there is a muddy muddy bottom, and even better a dense hard surface.
The main advantages of an asymmetrical loop:
flat method- carp feeder equipment, which is based on a feeder with a flat sinker. The uniqueness of the feeder is that it sinks down with a sinker, thanks to which the bait that is hidden in the upper part of the feeder is always open and available to fish.
Ideal for fishing in muddy and dark peat waters when fishing for crucian carp, carp and bream of completely different sizes, including trophy specimens up to 10 kg.
Varieties:
Necessary:
Instruction:
Bait should be a special “method consistency”, more viscous.
Feeder equipment with a flat-method feeder does not lose feed after casting and contact with water. Having reached the bottom, she lands on a flat sinker, leaving food with bait at the top. The food slowly dissolves, and the fish feel it. Swimming - bream, carp or crucian begin to eat bait, among which lies an appetizing grain of corn with a taste of chewing gum. The fish sucks in the bait, and when trying to leave the place of feeding, it is detected under the weight of the feeder.
Popular nozzles: Bloodworm, maggot, worm, canned corn, granules and.
Hair montages with ring and cambric. Do not use long shank hooks. Implementation of bites will be lower.
Owner Eseama 14-16 hooks are very good with hair rigging and 8-10 without it. These hooks have an inwardly curved point, which increases the chance of successfully hooking a fish.
The size of the boilies is 10 mm.
Hair rigs are made for hunting trophy fish. Hair - a branch of fishing line or leader material on which the bait is mounted, and the hook is located next to the hair and the bait, without direct contact.
The advantage of a hair rig is more confident bites. When sucking the bait, the fish does not feel the weight of the hook. The hook easily slips into the mouth of the fish and, when hooking, it is sure to be caught on the lip.
Volos is effective when fishing for bottom fish - crucian carp, carp, carp, barbel and bream, but it is less often used when fishing with feeder equipment, the best option is a flat method feeder.
We will need:
Instruction:
The anti-twist feeder rig is a classic and one of the first rigs to be used when fishing on muddy bottoms and hard ground.
In the current installation, you can use a rubber shock absorber, which will allow the fish to swallow the bait even deeper, and then, when the rubber tension limit is over, a notch will occur.
All structural elements of this rig are attached in exactly the same way as in the installation with an anti-twist, except for the feeder. Make a 10 cm long piece of fishing line twisted from two lines between the anti-twist and the feeder. This will allow you to raise the tube and equipment along with it a little higher above the bottom. It turns out a kind of symbiosis with the “Helicopter and two knots” equipment.
Use a longer leader and light baits in this variation so that the bait falls to the bottom as long as possible when the feeder falls to the bottom. This will definitely provoke active fish to bite.
The floating feeder rig is ideal for catching surface fish such as sabrefish, bleak and rudd.
The structurally floating feeder equipment is a copy of the “symmetrical loop” installation, with the exception of 2 nuances:
The length of a symmetrical loop for successful self-notching is 7 cm, no more.
Use smaller hooks comparable to the size of the fish's mouth. When hunting rudd or sabrefish - No. 16 according to the Owner classification. For bleak 18-22.
Superficially, we have already touched on the topic of cyprinids. Now let's dwell on them in more detail.
Safety clip(safety clips) - an element that attaches the sinker to the fishing line, contributing to the easy release of the fish from the sinker when the main cord breaks.
This rig has an advantage over other rigs when fishing in snags, as the weight is secured in a secure clip, which guarantees release under strong tension.

Instruction:
There are many varieties of Inline rig manufacturing described on the Internet, and most of them are structurally similar to the Running Feeder Rig. But historically, Inline is a carp rig for carp fishing (waiting) fishing, not feeder fishing. In carp fishing, the feeder tip is not used as a bite signaling device, but the bite is recognized by an electronic signaling device. When the fishing line is etched from the reel, the signaling device emits a sound. Naturally, this is a sliding equipment, which means sports.
Inline is suitable for fishing on a rocky hard bottom, on a shell rock. Unsuitable for fishing in snags, as the sinker does not shoot back with strong tension. On a muddy bottom is also bad.
Feeder installation Inline is very good in self-cutting carp and carp due to the drop-shaped sinker. The part of the sinker close to the leash has a thickening, which gives much more resistance to lifting from the bottom. Consequently, the hooking with a sinker is sharper.

Instruction:
Fidergam extinguishes sharp jerks of fish. This is a piece of rubber between the feeder rig and very thin fluorocarbon leaders (for example, 0.1 mm).
Feeder rubber is important for creating a shock-absorbing effect in the rig. this is especially important when using the main cord - braids. Length - 10-12 cm, thickness 0.6-0.8. Feeder Gum provides delicate play with very thin line (0.1 mm).
Mounting:
Important:
Asymmetrical loop + feedergam = the best combination.
In order to protect the equipment from hooks on snags, falling through stones - reduce the thickness of the fishing line on which the weight-feeder is attached. When hooked, you will lose the feeder, but if there was a fish on the hook, you will fish it out.
Applicable in snap-ins:
On Inline, Method rigs, use a safety clip. Caught - she will unfasten.
The presence of a feeder in the rig actually gave the name to the English bottom rod, since the word "feeder" is translated as "feeder"! Therefore, it is not surprising that the effectiveness of fishing depends on the functionality of this most important component of the feeder equipment. Yes, there are results! An improperly selected feeder can jeopardize the very ability to catch fish. So let's find out how to choose a feeder feeder?
At the beginning of the development of the feeder, the author of these lines had the imprudence to trust one of the "experts" of the Kyiv bazaar "Bukhara", where you can still buy anything in terms of fishing. So, the seller sold a picker rod with all the equipment and a spring feeder, assuring that this is the best option for the Dnieper. The next day, the "spring" with bait flew into the water and immediately, carried by the Dnieper jet, collected the gear of the fishermen standing downstream ... It turned out that the 30-gram feeder was completely unsuitable for the current. Therefore, the first lesson that your obedient servant learned from all this is that the weight of the feeder must correspond to the conditions of fishing. On the river, 60 g may be enough, and sometimes 150 grams are blown away. In calm water, 20-40 g is usually enough. It is also important that you first need to choose a rod for specific conditions, and then buy a feeder for the feeder.
There are many forms and varieties of structures that affect the efficiency of bait supply, casting distance and ease of use in certain conditions. So, for calm water, the following types of feeders are best suited:
All of the above feeders are ineffective in rivers, since the round shape will not allow them to resist the flow and stay in a baited place. Method models are carried even more by the current, washing away open food before they reach the bottom.
The weight of each feeder is indicated on its sinker, but how do you know how much it weighs with bait. The most obvious, simple and accurate way is to weigh it on an electronic canter. If there are no scales, you can use the formulas to determine the volume:
If the result is multiplied by a factor of 1.2, we get the approximate weight of the bait. Adding it to the mass of the load, we determine whether the weight of the bait and the feeder fits into the test range of the feeder rod.
The flow requires from the feeder not only a heavy sinker, which it would not demolish, but also a certain design and shape. Unlike models with a round section, triangular, square and rectangular feeders perfectly keep the jet. Thanks to the fine mesh baskets, the food is gradually washed out, keeping the fish close to the rig for as long as possible.
In principle, the feeders of these forms also work in reservoirs where there is no current. But then it is necessary to select models with a large cell, so that the food dissolves more easily and attracts fish better.
For fishing in high jet conditions, lugs feeders are best suited. The sinkers of such models have large spikes at the bottom, with which they “cling” to the bottom and are held in one place.
In addition to the classic and method models, there are feeders designed for specific purposes. Depending on the weight, they can be used both in current and in calm water.
The classic version of the "spring". The model is distinguished by the absence of a load and the presence of a central tube for mounting sliding equipment. It is perfect for fishing in shallow waters without a current, as well as as a bait feeder, since the model is able to instantly drop the bait. Simplicity of a design and high quality of production guarantees durability and efficiency of use of this model.
This model is perfect for calm waters and slow flowing rivers. The advantages lie in the presence of planes, which, with the first turns of the coil, raise the feeder into the middle and upper layers of the water. Therefore, the model is indispensable where there are a lot of shells, debris stones and other obstacles on the bottom, over which this model easily passes during the winding of tackle.
The universal model is perfect for both calm water (small weights) and flowing water (large weights). A feature of this model is a metal mesh with a large cell for effective washing out of bait and its rectangular section, which prevents rolling in the current. The plug keeps the feed on the jet. If necessary, it can be removed to increase the intensity of feeding.
An excellent option for catching carp on the feeder. The model has excellent flight qualities and is intended for long-distance casts. During winding, it quickly breaks away from the bottom and hovers above it due to the petal shape. Therefore, it is excellent for fishing in reservoirs with a barbed, rocky or overgrown bottom. Due to the high transverse ribs, the bait is well kept in the feeder.
By and large, if the weight of the feeder with bait falls within the test range of the rod, then it can already be safely cast without fear of breaking the blank. Another question is whether you can fish effectively. First you need to decide on the weight. For a flow, you will need a feeder of at least 60 g. If we are talking about a strong stream, then you will have to stock up on feeders of 90 g, 100 g, 120 g or more. In ponds, bays and lakes, a feeder weighing up to 40 g is enough. In calm water, the shape of the feeder is not decisive. But in the river it is better to catch on models with a rectangular or triangular section. Of course, if you are fishing both in current and in calm water, you need to have several pieces of feeders of different designs in order to always be ready for fishing. Long-range models will not be superfluous, and feeding options will certainly come in handy in order to quickly “set the table” and start catching fish. And remember, a feeder is a consumable item, so at least a few pieces should be in your fishing bag on every fishing trip.
