Feeder device: highlights

There are several types of fishing, and each person chooses a suitable for a particular area, based on their personal preferences. Also, every lover of this lesson has his own secrets or skills that he can use to get a successful result. For beginners, it will be useful to know what a feeder device is. Let's consider this issue in this article.

The device for fishing

The word "feeder" came from the English language, literally it means "feeder, feeder". This device is a tackle for bottom fishing. Also this word is used for the name of the very method of hunting for fish. The device of feeder tackle was invented by the Englishman Richard Voker, who created a prototype of specialized fishing rods for bottom fishing. The device consisted of a two- rod plug rod. It was made of bamboo, its length was 3 m.

Gradually the device of feeder tackle was modified, and now such devices are made of high-quality materials (high-modulus carbon fiber and others). This fishing rig is easy and simple to assemble. The device consists of fishing rods, fishing line and rigging, also it includes hooks, fasteners, anti-twister, weights and other details.

Types of equipment for fishing

The device of feeder tackle has such parameters as working length, assembled size, number of vertices and their sensitivity, as well as class. Depending on the latest characteristics, the rods are divided into the following types:

• Light - the weight of such elements is up to 40 g, they are used on small rivers and lakes;
• Medium (60 g) and heavy (80 g) - these devices are universal, and they are recommended for use in catching large calm water bodies;
• Extra heavy (weight above 100 g) - this device is used on rivers with a strong, rapid current with a coverage of more than 100 m in width.

Types of rigging

Depending on the shape of the weaving, it is possible to distinguish such types of tools for fishing:

• Tooling with anti-twist device.
• Paternoster - if you consider how to knit a feeder of this type, then it is recommended to use a fishing line (monofilament) with a diameter of about 0.25 mm. A loop is made of this material (about 20 cm long), it is necessary to fasten the feeder on it. One end of this line is attached to the leash, and the second is connected to the main tackle.
• Symmetrical loop - the feeder is not used here, a loop is made for the leash, a fixing knot is made after 8 cm, a weights are put on the fishing line, and the ends are tightened one more time, then fixed to the main tackle.
• An asymmetric loop - this type of snap is performed similarly to the previous one, only one of the ends needs to be made longer by 20 cm.

Helpful Tips

The following information, probably, will be useful for fans of hunting for river inhabitants:

• The feeder coil must have a gear ratio large enough.
• For this type of gear is better to use a woven thin line.
• In order to know how to set up a feed tackle, this information will be useful. In order to "snip" the fish in time, it is necessary to set the fishing line to a position where the tension is almost as high as possible (while the feeder is at rest), but even with a slight movement such a position can be broken, resulting in the "victim" getting on the hook.
• After casting the bottom rigging, it is necessary to set the feeder whip to a position at which it deviates approximately 20 cm from the forward state.
