In modern fishing, donka with a feeder, and not with a sinker, is more often used. It is much more practical and catchy than a float fishing rod. Such gear has a number of advantages. Firstly, large individuals are caught on it, secondly, it allows you to catch pits and depths, thirdly, the issue of fish fishing is easily solved. Donka has practically no disadvantages. Of course, the most important thing when fishing with such gear is to choose the right feeding trough.
In the rich fishing arsenal of donkey with a feeder, there can be any modification. When choosing gear and fishing conditions, and the type of reservoir. The feeders are open and closed, wireframe and mesh, large and small, metal and silicone. In general, there is plenty to choose from. The easiest option is open feeders made from a piece of plastic tube with holes made in it. It is weighted with a lead sinker. Open feeders are used to deliver to the place of fishing a feed mixture, for example steamed grains or maggot. In this case, you can feed the fish at any depth and distance.
Donka with a feeder is also successfully used on rivers with a pronounced course. In this case, you can use tackle of any size. Many experienced anglers use a small but very effective trick to catch more fish. Before starting fishing, casting is done several times in a row at the same place using a large feeder. Then, gently supporting the tackle, it is freed from the feed mixture. And only then, when fishing, they use the usual medium or even small feeder. This method almost always works, the fish regularly approaches the place of fishing and goes well for bait.
Donka with a closed feeder works a little differently. It is used mainly on the course. This tackle is usually filled with larvae (maggots or any other). They gradually creep out, which attracts the attention of hungry fish. Also, in a strong current, they can be filled with boiled hemp grains or boiled rice, which will gradually be washed with water.
There is not one donkey scheme with a feeding trough. Each fisherman collects it in his own way, relying primarily on personal experience. As they say, each fish has its own equipment. But still there are some general recommendations. It is better to take a fishing line thicker than a fishing rod, because it must withstand the load not only when fishing the fish, but also when casting. The best option is 0.35 mm. The leash should be with a low breaking load of the fishing line. The length is selected in accordance with the fish for which fishing is planned. The hooks are set quite large, sharp, preferably with the effect of self-cutting.
Well, of course, whatever the donkey device with the feeder, you can not do without a bite signaling device. Previously, they served as an ordinary bell. But over time, everything improved. As a result, a waterproof electronic signaling device was developed. But he has not so many fans. Firstly, it is expensive, and secondly, it disgustingly squeaks. Therefore, there is an alternative - cheaper bells. They are hung on the tip of the rod, and they are no worse at coping with the task than their electronic counterparts.
