What is feeder fishing technique?
Simple to do and effective on almost all types of water, feeder fishing is a technique that attracts more and more enthusiasts every year. If this type of fishing has many fishermen in USA and around the world, it is because it does not require much investment in equipment and materials, while allowing large fish to be caught from a long distance. Another advantage that explains the interest of fishing with a feeder is that with this technique it is possible to fish even in bad weather.
Would you like to learn more about this fishing method? Here are the essential basics you need to know to get started with feeder fishing.
The rod
As with other techniques, the choice of a suitable rod is essential for feeder fishing. It is therefore important to equip yourself with specialized equipment to be able to easily detect the keys. The feeder rods specially designed for this fishing will allow you to feel the slightest vibration thanks to their soft tip. The length of a feeder rod is between 2m70 and 4m. A rod of about 3 m is ideal for fishing at short and medium distances. For long-distance fishing, a longer rod should be used.
The reel and nylon
Although a standard reel can do the job, you can choose to equip yourself with a "special feeder" reel for more comfort according to your budget and preferences. The most important thing is that the rod and reel are well balanced. Thus, if you use a small rod, your choice should be a reel with a size between 2000 and 3000. Feeder fishermen who use longer rods will turn to models in sizes 4000 or 5000 depending on their equipment.
The feeder
The feeder is a key element for this type of fishing. It is a kind of cage, made of metal or plastic, that is used to contain and convey bait and baits to the desired location. When the feeder cage arrives at depth, its contents spread to the site, attracting fish that are sheltering there. There are different types of feeders according to your needs: spring feeder, open feeder, closed feeder. A metal feeder is suitable for fishing in shallow waters. To fish in strong currents or at great depths, it is advisable to use an open plastic feeder. If you are looking for versatile equipment to fish everywhere, try the "method feeder".
