How to choose a feeding trough for a feeder or do it yourself

A feeder trough is in some cases a necessity, and in some it is simply not required. The use of feeding nets will depend on the technique of
feeder fishing and the specifics of the reservoir.

Features of starter complementary foods in a feeder and carp fishing

At the heart of
fishing with a feeder is the search for a promising place,
feeding it , throwing the tackle into the bait window and then catching fish at this point. This can be done in different variations – it depends on the specifics of fishing in certain conditions.
Often, fishermen do not use a special feeding trough for the feeder. The feed is sent to the fishing point with working equipment, which is then used for further fishing. On rivers with currents and considerable depth, this makes sense. Products with different configurations differ in their behavior when immersed in a body of water. A large feeding trough is more easily demolished during the current. If you feed with large springs, and then switch to small ones, you can simply not get into the lured place. At depths of up to 2 meters, this does not play a big role. But at a considerable depth for feeding and subsequent fishing, it is necessary to use the same feeders, both in size and in weight.

As a rule, one tackle is used for this, but a hook is not installed on bait casts, this simplifies the process. If the volume is insufficient, more casts are performed.

Terms of Use

The feeding troughs are light and voluminous in terms of roominess. They are convenient to use if you need to deliver a large amount of groundbait to the fishing area. Most often this is necessary in the summer, when the reservoir has already warmed up. The necessary conditions:

• the importance of bulk feeding (so as not to make noise when casting many times with a small feeder);
• warm water;
• weak current.

This approach is often used for summer feeder fishing for
bream ,
crucian carp ,
carp and other white fish. On rivers with a current and on pits, starting complementary foods are performed using a working feeder, after choosing its mass and design so that it is less carried away by the current.

Feeding trough tactics

A feeding trough is a volumetric container made of a net that is rolled into a tube and can be shipped or used without it. There is a lot of feed in this bunker, the total weight of the tackle with the full bait allows you to make a comfortable casting with a
feeder rod .
But we must not forget that a very voluminous bait net sometimes has a lot of weight and can easily break the top. For sports feeder fishing, the size of the feeders is allowed – no more than 7 cm in length and 5 cm in cross-section. But for amateur fishing, the size is limited only by the expediency of using the net. The simplest example of use is a volumetric starter lure with short-range casts over carp or bream on a river with a slight current. If you need to make up to 20 casts with a standard small cage, then 5-7 casts with a bait cage are enough, this will depend on the size. The requirements are the same – you need to try to get to the same place. It is not worth it to clog the bait feeder very tightly – we squeeze a little with your fingers and that’s it. After throwing it, we wait a few minutes,shake off the complementary food with a sharp wave of the rod, repeat. Separately, you need to highlight
feeding carp . In
carp fishing , other feeding methods and special devices are used for this – catapults, slingshots, rockets.

Catching during the starting lure is not carried out, therefore the delicacy of the tackle is not important. The most important thing is to send the required portion of the bait mixture to the right place with precise casts.

Plastic or metal feeder?

The most popular are the cage feeders, which provide quick flushing of the bait and attract fish with this. For their manufacture, a plastic or metal mesh with different mesh diameters is used. The larger the holes, the faster the feed will come out. Metal feeders in shape can be rectangular, round, square. At the same time, they have a number of advantages:

1. These products sink to the bottom more quickly , which is important in ponds with many small fish. The metal mesh, as it were, cuts through the thickness of the water layer and falls to the bottom in a fraction of a second, without attracting small things, which are most often located in the middle horizon.
2. These designs are more resistant to underwater currents . If you choose the weight correctly, then the feeder will be securely in one place without moving along the bottom.
3. Durability . The steel frame can withstand impacts against rocks and other objects that are under water. Even if the body is slightly bent, it can be easily leveled with your hands.

Sometimes they need to be dragged out with force through the aquatic vegetation that is at the bottom. This drawback often reminds of itself during fishing on the edge, when the net simply clings to the “step”. Another disadvantage of metal structures is the formation of rust in places where the protective coating has peeled off. After prolonged use, they must be painted with moisture resistant paint. With plastic products, these problems are not. Feeders are not subject to corrosion, float easily, can bypass obstacles, practically do not sink into silt at the bottom. These structures are perfect for fishing in stagnant bodies of water, as well as in places wherein which it is possible to maintain a good bite only through active feeding.
Even better buoyancy of plastic products can be given by wings, which have some designs. In addition, they increase the flatness of the feeder, preventing it from sinking into the bottom silt. It should be noted that wings do not always help when fishing, and sometimes create some inconvenience, since they reduce stamina. If the rig is used on a river, then after casting, the winged structure carried away by the current will be away from the baited place. It is for this reason that fishermen in some cases cut their wings with a knife.

Containers

These are closed feeders, which are intended for feeding the fishing site with live food:
worm ,
bloodworm ,
maggot . These products also represent a plastic hopper with openings for bait outlet. There are semi-closed coils where the plug is removed from one side. Semi-closed products can be clogged with plant formulations, and if both lids are removed, they can be used as a classic bait feeder.

Making a feeding trough for a feeder with your own hands

It will not be difficult to make a feeding trough for the feeder with your own hands. What is a reinforcing mesh made of metal or nylon for? It is easy to get a net for feeder feeders – it is sold in every hardware store. Having cut the material to the required shape, the feeder is bent from it directly, where the shipment of the desired weight is added, if required. Also, a do-it-yourself feeding trough is made from an eggplant. From the bottle you need to cut a canvas where they drill, burn out or punch holes. Then the workpiece is twisted and secured with a stapler. If there are unnecessary women’s hair curlers at home, then you will not need to make significant efforts. These products already have the required mesh shape. It is only necessary to correctly choose the shipment for the feeder.

How to choose a feeder

The following recommendations will allow you to choose the right bait feeder for fishing with a feeder:

• in order to achieve the greatest distance during casting, it is necessary to choose designs with front loading; These feeders fly as far as possible [/ caption]
• the mass of the feeder with shipment and groundbait mixture must be less than the casting feeder by about 1/3;
• on the made do-it-yourself feeder there should be no protruding elements for which the equipment can cling;
• when fishing in areas with a covered bottom, it is advisable to use round plastic feeders.

How to make a feeder feeder for feeding, see the video: https://youtu.be/7jHNGflKRMA Feeding feeders are used to quickly attract fish to the fishing area. As such, there are no feeding structures in stores, so fishermen make them with their own hands, using improvised devices for this. The bait feeder can be made of any shape and volume, but the bait mixture for it must be washed out very quickly with water.
