The feeder is what? Feeder for beginners: device feeder tackle, types of rigging, fishing technique

To date, anglers who are keen on bottom fishing often have a tackle in their arsenal called a feeder. Reviews about him are mostly positive. Next, let us consider in more detail what the given device represents and what popularity it enjoys.

Definition

The feeder is an adaptation, which is a bottom tackle, converted to modern style. This product has a peculiar look. The main difference between the feeder and the Donkey is the rod with a sensitive tip, which serves as a signaling device for the biting of fish, and the use of special suitable feeders in the rigging to entice fish. From English, the word "feed" is translated as "feed".

Caught on the feeder is the fish that feeds on the bottom. Namely: carp, carp, crucian carp, bream, chub, ul, roach and even bleak. Feeder - this is an adaptation that is used on different water bodies. It is important that there is not too much mud in the catching areas. Since the feeder can drown in the silt.

Rods feeder

The appearance of this device is peculiar. The main difference between the rod of the feeder and the spinning rod is the presence of a considerable number of small access rings on the low holders and several thin changeable tops, which are intended for catching various feeders. They also serve as bait detectors. There are peaks of different rigidity. They make it possible to find the best balance between the mass of the feeder and the signaling of the bite.

Classification of feeder rods

These devices exist in several categories. They are determined by the rod test. This is important to know. The rod test is the maximum weight of the load, which is recommended to be used with this device. In this case, one must take into account the fact that when using the trough to its mass, it is necessary to add the weight of the corresponding bait. And this will be about 20-30 grams. We next consider each of the classes.

Feeder "Ultra Light"

This designation is rarely used. Rods of this class are called "Picker" (Picker). They are such devices, the length of which is 2.1-3 m. They differ in the test small: 10-40 grams. Perfectly suitable for catching small fish at short distances in standing water or slow flow. The distances for them can be different. If for the "Piker", whose length is 2.1 m, the best distance is up to 20 m, then it is very easy to catch a 3 m meter such item on 40 m.

Light Feeder

The data of the rod length of 3-3.6 m and with a test to 60 grams are designed for ponds with standing water or with a non-intensive current. From the "Picker" they differ in that the tackle can be thrown to a greater distance, and also to fight the fish bigger.

Medium feeder

These rods have a length of 3.6 m, but there are specimens with a length of 3.3 m. The test of this rod is 80-100 grams. This device is the most common class, since it is semi-universal. It is convenient for them to catch on various reservoirs, both with standing water and with the current. During the biting of a large fish and with the right vyvazhivanii to the shore, you can bring a large lizard.

Feeder "Heavy"

This is also another popular rod type. It allows you to avoid a lot of mistakes both when casting, and when vyvazhivanii. The test in this case is from 100 to 120 grams. The length is from 3,6 to 3,9 m. However, you can buy and the model "twin" - 3.60 / 4.20. It is possible to use twin feeders with a length of 3.6 m. But if you insert a special additional prolongation, which is included in the kit, it will increase to 4.20 m. A large length parameter can allow the feeder to be thrown over considerable distances. This is an important factor. And during the survival of the fish and when dragging it through a hard crook you can raise the long rod higher. This will ensure the normal wiring of the fish, avoiding collapse or hitching.

Feeder "Extra Heavy"

The weight of the dough at the devices of this type is from 120 grams or more. There may also be instances of up to 200 and even up to 300 g. The length of these rods varies between 4.20 and 5 m. Such feeders are designed for very far casting and catching large, powerful fish. However, it is not recommended to go to a canal 40 m wide and fish weighing up to 1 kg with a similar device. Of course, you can catch, but it will be very inconvenient to do it.

Feeder rod structure

In this respect, there are also some differences. There are several types of the system. Let us consider each of them separately.

The structure is fast

These rods are relatively stiff. On them, under load (during vyvazhivaniya or casting), only the vertex itself is bent (it always bends) and the first knee from it. Feeders that have a fast system allow you to fully control the survival. They are powerful enough. This makes it possible to ensure the lifting of a large specimen from the bottom and does not allow it to enter the corn husk, to rest on the curb, and so on.

The structure is slow

For this type, bends in all the tribes, up to the knee, are characteristic. Feeder with a similar system forgives a lot of mistakes, because on the fishy, jerky thrusts, he stretches the poke in time due to his elasticity. As a result, the load on the snap is reduced. This allows you not to break off the leash or, sometimes, and the entire snap. This factor is very important for any fishing.

Feeder accessories

In this case, certain criteria should be taken into account. It is necessary to clarify at once that for one feeder type fishing rod it is necessary to stock up with several ready-made rigging devices of various designs suitable for different fishing conditions and the size of the fish.

It is also necessary to have several leashes and feeders in stock. These are very important elements. Leashes should be different in length (30, 40 and 50 cm) with unequal hooks.

Now let's look at the types of main popular feeder snap-ins:

• Tooling with an anti-twist tube. It's very simple. At first, the anti-winding device is put on the fishing line. Then the swivel is attached, and a leash is attached to it. The corresponding feeder remains attached to the fastener. After that, the rigging is ready. The advantages of this kind are the ease of manufacture and the absolute absence of overlapping for the main line of the leash. The main disadvantage of this feeder equipment is its weak sensitivity.
• The next species is the paternoster. Manufacturing of this type of equipment will not cause any special difficulties. In this case, a loop with a length of 15-20 cm is knitted from a fishing line 0.2-0.25 mm in diameter. Then the feeder is attached to it. After that, to any end of the line, which should be cut shorter, the leash is tied. The second end is connected to the main line. This tool has great sensitivity due to the lack of "extra detail" in the form of a tube. She can also fish herself.
• The loop is symmetrical. For the most part it is intended for catching "Picker", and in other words, the feeder is light. Instead of a feeder a sinker is installed here. However, this tackle can also be used with the feeder if necessary. In this case, we cut a loop from a cut piece of a 0.25 mm monofilament line. This is required to connect the leash. After this, the two ends of the line curl with each other, forming, thus, a twisted thread about 10 cm long. The twisted segment is fixed with a knot. This design will prevent the twist from the main fishing line during the throwing. Then, after 50 centimeters, another knot is knitted. Then another one in a few centimeters. For him will be attached to the main line of equipment. The feeder is then joined by two-way fasteners. Such equipment is more sensitive than the anti-winding tube and the paternoster. However, it is more prone to overlapping.
• The loop is asymmetric. Manufacturing of equipment of this kind is the same as the previous one. But in this case one of the sides of the loop is longer than the other (somewhere about 16 centimeters). The feeder in this snap will be located below the tap. This is necessary to fasten the leash. The recoil is deflected to the side. This equipment is characterized by maximum sensitivity. However, it also has a drawback: the line is rubbed against the fastener with which the feeder is attached, as a result of which this knot needs to be controlled.

There are also other types of equipment. However, they are all complications of the above options. For the initial stage of mastering the listed basic species, the feeder will be quite sufficient. After this, the interested angler can carry out personal improvements, and then share his experience with others.

Feeder coil

A distinctive feature of fishing with a feeder is the frequent rebounding of the rigging. Because of this, in order not to waste time while rewinding, it is desirable to use a coil with a large gear ratio. Its value should be approximately equal to 6.

In this case, it is also recommended to have a large diameter spool. On such an adaptation, the line will curl less. As a result, a longer casting distance is ensured. In addition, the spool should not be deep, since feeder fishing uses thin lines. This should be taken into account when selecting the device.

It is also highly desirable that the coil be equipped with a stopper (clip) for the line. He has a significant role. Need a stopper to fix the line at the designated casting distance. For people who master the feeder, this is extremely important. It is necessary to note here an essential condition. It lies in the fact that considerable importance in the implementation of catching on the feeder represents the correctness of casting. Correct casting of the feeder will ensure the saturation of the food with a specific small patch on the bottom of the reservoir. On this site there will be a fishing place. Measuring the distance at the cast will be half of the matter.

Leska

The feeder needs a certain kind of this element. Namely, in a woven braid . This is explained by the fact that the braid is not stretched, and also quite clearly conveys even "careful" bite from considerable distances. This gives the fisherman the opportunity to take the necessary measures in time, which makes fishing for the feeder (photo of which is provided in this article) more comfortable. You can also use a monofilament fishing line. But it is suitable only for small distances. Also during the cut, the monofilament extensibility effect causes the feeder to pull at considerable distances with a significant swing. This reduces the timeliness of the sweep. But during the use of braids it will be enough to make a small short jerk.

Hooks for catching feeder

When fishing, the feeder uses hooks with a spatula and a ring. It is very important that they always be sharp. Also, the fastening of the hook must be carried out by the correct fishing knot.

Feeders for catching feeder

These devices are also called containers and baskets. They are open, and also half and completely closed. In its form, the feeders can be cylindrical, rectangular, spiral, ribbed, square and others. They are made of different materials - metals and plastics. Often anglers do them on their own. The feeder is stuffed with the lure before the throwing. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the strength of the current and the depth of the water. For example, when a fast flow is used rather glutenous lure, in addition, it is denser packed. This is done in order to wash it slowly. Feeders of the closed type are more economical. However, when the flow is rapid, they are inconvenient. The cargo in the feeder is an attached lead plate. And if you need to lift above the bottom of the device, then inside is placed a cork or foam.

Technique of catching a feeder

When starting fishing, it is advisable to examine the bottom with a load of olive. To do this, it is necessary to perform several fan casts. While winding slowly to a fishing line, one should try to determine the depth changes, the future fishing point and the bottom relief. After that, the chosen place should be fed about 10 times with the help of an open large feeder. In doing so, it must be completely emptied. Before the start of fishing, you should put a smaller feeder. In the course of fishing it will be possible to pick up the right cargo.

The fishing rod is thrown from behind the head, trying to stick to some landmark. This is done in order to cast everything in the same place. You can mark the desired throwing length on the line with a marker or hook it with a clip in the spot marked in advance when examining the bottom of the spool of the coil. Nevertheless, in the latter case, be especially careful, because with a strong unsuccessful casting tackle can be torn off.

After casting the loop gear, it is necessary to pull it to yourself, so that the feeder is closer to the leash, that is, at the end of the loop. Then the line during the bite will easily slide through the ear of the feeder. This is an important factor in the conduct of feeder fishing. When using a heavy feeder, there is a high probability that self-cut will occur. And if you use a light feeder, you will see a bite, as a result of which the fish will need to be snapped with a leisurely jerk. After casting the feeder rod, it is mainly put on a special support. But you can keep it with your hands. Appropriate angle of the rod to the horizon during fishing on the current is 45 degrees. And when catching on standing water, the angle can be less - 15-20 degrees. But in this case, the rod should be located not in the direction of casting, but parallel to the shore. As a result, the bite will be noticeable much better.

Winter feeder

This device is fishing at any time of the year. For example, you can successfully catch fish on the feeder in winter and bring home excellent prey. However, in this case, it is also necessary to choose the right equipment. About this and talk further.

Winter equipment on the feeder is a set of adaptations, which includes the following devices:

• Rod "Extra Heavy" or "Heavy" class. In this case, this device must have a test load of 100-160 g.
• Feeding trough. It should have a triangular shape in order to conduct the maximum rapid ascent and prevent hooks. Its weight should be in the redistribution of 50-90 g. This depends on what test load the winter feeder has. For example, the lower the load, the lower the weight should be.
• Tooling. In this case, this loop is asymmetric, and even better - the paternoster.
• The main line. Here you can take a braid not more than 0.15 mm thick. An excellent option would be 0.14 mm. And with a good control of casting - 0.12 mm.
• A line for leashes. In this case, it should have a thickness of 0.1-0.12 mm and a length of 0.8-0.1 m. In quality, one can take a braid with a diameter of 0.045 mm.
• Hooks. When choosing them, emphasis should be placed on the middle type, since small hooks will be difficult to digest large specimens. On large hooks, passive specimens may simply not respond. Excellent in practice, these devices showed Owner No. 12-16, from the series, for example, N 50345.

Top feeders

In the market of gear of this type, several manufacturers have proved themselves very successful. They make these adaptations, using high-quality materials and modern technologies. As a result, fishermen have no doubts about their reliability. Of course, you can make a homemade feeder, but still the purchase of this product from a proven firm will be the best option. Who produces the best feeders?

• The Mikado. This company is popular not only for good feeders, but also for affordable prices. The best rods are those whose length is 360 cm.
• "Shimano." This Japanese company has a wide range of rods of this type, among which there is a universal feeder. The adaptations of this brand belong to the middle price category. Basically, this company produces carbon fiber rods. At the same time, she conducts experiments on the newest material under the name of geofiber. It allows to provide simultaneously high strength and elasticity of the rod with excellent rigidity. These devices in the hand hold very comfortable.
• Feeder "Salmo". This Baltic company makes these devices for anglers who can not afford to buy an expensive rod. This company does not have its own production base and orders of components from other companies. Despite the rather low prices, Salmo's products are considered to be very high quality and reliable by fishermen.
• Feeders "Banax Pikolo" are specially designed and adapted for fishing in the Russian open spaces. Each model has an additional tip. With its help, the length of the rods is increased by 50 cm. The production of fishing rods by this company is carried out from such qualitative material as carbon fiber.
• Feeder "Daiva". The adaptations of this Japanese firm will ensure excellent fishing. The assortment of them is rich both with professional light rods, and heavy. Tackles of this company have unsurpassed strength.
• Feeder "Zemeks". The "Zemex" rods were developed on the basis of Japanese and Korean innovative technologies. This allows you to create adaptations that meet the strict criteria for sport fishing. In the range of this company you can also find a universal feeder. Manufacture the rods of this brand only with the use of very durable and highly modular materials.

The result

In general, in mastering the technique of catching a feeder there is nothing complicated. To do this, you should have a desire and carefully read the above information, and the rest will follow in practice. In this text, everyone can find the answer to the question of what constitutes a device such as a feeder whose price fluctuates between 800 and 17,000 rubles. The cost of it depends on the brand and its type.
